CHLOE FLOWER, the Eponymous Debut Album By Pianist, Composer, & Producer - Out July 16, 2021 Via Sony Music Masterworks - Available Now For Pre-order

NEW YORK, May 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the success of her singles "Get What U Get" and "Flower Through Concrete," pianist, composer, and producer Chloe Flower — whose sensational appearance with Cardi B stole the show at the 2019 Grammy Awards — has announced the release of her self-titled debut album on Sony Music Masterworks, out July 16, 2021 and available for pre-order now.

In three acts — I. Innocence, II. Suffering and III. Hope — this sublime collection was composed, produced and recorded in the artist's New York City apartment during the Covid-19 pandemic. It features spoken word from Deepak Chopra and an interpretation of Billie Eilish's chart-topping hit 'Bad Guy'. 

In conjunction with today's announcement, Chloe Flower is releasing her latest single, "Tamie," from the album. Chloe dedicates the song (and video) to her dear friend Tamie and has imbued it with the beauty and resilience of their Asian identity; thus releasing it in observance of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Of the music video, Chloe notes "It's a celebration of our Asian heritage and culture, and was shot at a classical Chinese garden. As our communities are being targeted with anti-Asian rhetoric and violence, now is the time to celebrate Asian American pride, culture and the positive impact our community has had on the world." 

Encompassing sweet melodies, hip-hop, and trap beats, Chloe Flower is a modern-day classical sensation, pushing the boundaries with her unique self-created Popsical genre. Of her album Chloe states: "I was thinking about the life cycle. You start with innocence; born with a clean state. Throughout life there is suffering which hardens you. But there's always hope for something better."

"I want people to listen to the album as a whole body of work, which is why I have a prelude and a finale as well as the three acts. The ultimate goal was to make an album that inspires listeners, and makes people hopeful. It's new, edgy and a sound that is authentic to me.  Even though my music has no lyrics, I still have something to say."

The outstanding quality of Chloe's technique and modern musical viewpoint sets her apart. This is a collection that will establish the artist as a force to be reckoned with. Here is a new major player in the instrumental world, with the power and talents to infiltrate popular culture.
