In her latest single, Chilli Chilton perfectly describes how it feels to finally be over a relationship, while still looking back and remembering your heartbreak. “Over It Now”, dropped just last week, has hit almost 7,000 streams and is Chilton’s second ever release. Despite her shorter discography, she is already able to craft intricate lyrics and a strong storyline. In this track, she shows her attention to detail and ability to put her exact feelings into words. She sings about the breakup and the fallout, how she was scaring herself just how heartbroken she was. She places the beginning in the winter, alone in an empty house with a glass of wine. With her emotive tone and descriptive words, you can almost see Chilton as she haunts through the town that used to be theirs, this time left on her own.
The soundscape of this track is simplistic and calm, allowing Chilton’s strong voice and realistic lyrics to be the main focus. The track opens with her recounting her feelings during the breakup, how alone she felt and how much she missed her ex. However, in the chorus she reaches the consensus that she is over this heartbreak, maybe even kissing the cheek of someone new. She sings, “Hate washed over me, for months I couldn't sleep but hey, / I'm over it now / A dark lit alley way, a lifetime in the shade but hey, / I'm over it now”. My personal favorite part is the end of the song. Bringing her message home, the track ends with a repetition of the chorus, starting and ending with no instrumentals and simply Chilton’s voice. This isolation drives her lyrics right through, making sure the listener hears what she has to say- she is moving on fine, and regaining love for her life.
A 25 year old singer songwriter based in Switzerland, Chilli Chilton is breaking her way into the music industry. She bases her music off of her own life scenarios, and finds the lyrics in her own feelings. She aims to write about “love, heartbreak, and “life's inevitable failures” and writes all of her own music. Her music being so raw and real is what makes listeners like her so much. Chilton does not sugar coat her feelings, and remains honest and true even when discussing upsetting matters like breakups.
