Chloe Jane's most recent release, "Shut Up," is reminiscent of early 2000s dance pop. Her accompanying music video, directed by Corece Smith, embodies that same iconography through visuals. The singer/songwriter states that her intent behind the single was to create a "female empowerment anthem" inspired by a time when she experienced a turbulent romance in her personal life. She sums up that "I just needed to give him a friendly reminder to shut up." Written from a firsthand experience, the song conveys a fervent, energetic message supported by its confident pop sound and lyrics to match. Through the evocative single, Chloe Jane establishes herself as self-assured and collected in the face of disrespect.
Chloe Jane cites Nelly Furtado, Timbaland, and Destiny's Child as the Y2K musical influences on her most recent genre-blending anthem. Heavily percussive and rhythmic, Jane unleashes the first taste of her newest era of pop-R&B. Strategically using stacked vocal harmonies in the song creates atmospherically rich textures and a fuller sound. Flyana Boss dominates their powerful verse masterfully after Jane delivers her 'friendly reminder'. The bold lyrics are forward and unafraid, matching the energy of the pulsing synth-driven beat. "Shut Up" is another playful, empowering track from Chloe Jane, saturated with command.
Chloe Jane was raised in New York and Ibiza, where she landed her first gig as an opening DJ for Paris Hilton at just 13 years old. A trained pianist, vocalist, and DJ, Chloe Jane has been making music for years. Her first album, Dance Floor Emergency, a blend of "pop and 2010s-inspired EDM into a melodic, high-energy album," debuted in 2024. In the past, Chloe has collaborated with renowned DJs such as Lenno, Crush Club, and Teddy Cream, among others. Her sophomore album, Princess of the Night, is set to come out in 2026. The song's featured artist duo, Flyana Boss, is made up of multi-instrumentalists Bobbi LaNea and Folayan. Following their breakout singles, the duo embarked on their debut tour with Janelle Monáe, followed by a special guest appearance on KE$HA’s “The Only Love” Tour. Unsurprisingly, together, they were able to create a fresh, fun single inspired by the iconic Y2K sound.
