Today CXLOE delivers the next instalment in her growing collection of dark pop perfection with single ‘Soft Rock’.
Says CXLOE of the track: “I wrote ‘Soft Rock’ with Eric Leva in Los Angeles in 2019. We wanted to write a throwback song dedicated to our 15-year-old selves going through our first heartbreak. We channel Kelly Clarkson, side fringes, iPods, low rise jeans and Paramore. “
“The song talks about my first heartbreak, where I desperately want to do something rebellious to ease the pain but I’m really just pathetically heartbroken and all I can bring myself to do is cry. It recounts my attempt at working through a breakup; putting on *soft* rock music, dying my hair, piercing my nose and every other cliche. It’s a facade and front I put on to convince myself I’m strong and totally over being heartbroken. It’s that one break up you have in your life where you’re actually not sure you will survive or ever get over the pain you’re feeling at that moment. Kind of like being left out of someone’s top friend list on myspace…but worse.”
‘Soft Rock’ follows on from ‘Cry & Drive’ the achingly beautiful single which saw CXLOE play sold out headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne, a launch show at Phoenix Gallery, play Big Pineapple Festival, and support The Veronicas. With covid playing havoc on live touring these are no small feats.
In 2020 CXLOE released her critically acclaimed debut EP ‘Heavy Part I’ which features singles and fan favourites ‘12 Steps’, ‘One and Lonely’, ‘Heavy’ and ‘Swing’ and saw her wowing audiences nationally on a headline tour.
CXLOE wanders between alternative and electronic, with a unique pop sensibility to creating a sound all her own. A pure musical aesthetic met with complex and dark lyrics brings a true contrast to her artistry. To date, CXLOE has amassed more than 50 million streams, over 6 million of which come from the USA. Support and critical acclaim have seen CXLOE receive enviable international attention across countless global playlists including over 50 global New Music Fridays on Spotify, airplay and coverage from Triple J, all pop-leaning commercial radio stations across Australia and across global titles such as Billboard, CLASH, The Line Of Best Fit, LADYGUNN, V Magazine, Refinery29, VOGUE Australia, and countless more.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
