Modern Romance [Red Vinyl]

Some debut releases arrive fully formed, and Modern Romance is one of them. Bringing together Chloe Qisha’s first two EPs, this collection introduces an artist with a clear identity, effortlessly fusing shimmering ’80s-inspired art-pop, infectious melodies and sharp contemporary songwriting into a confident statement of intent.

Across ten tracks, Qisha balances irresistible hooks with witty observations and emotional honesty. Songs such as “I Lied, I’m Sorry”, “Sexy Goodbye”, “21st Century Cool Girl” and the title track showcase her ability to move between playful pop, heartfelt reflection and tongue-in-cheek humour without ever losing sight of a memorable chorus. It’s a record that feels equally suited to the dancefloor and the late-night drive home.

That distinctive voice has already earned widespread attention. Recognised by British Vogue, NME and Rolling Stone, and following high-profile support slots with Sabrina Carpenter and Coldplay, Qisha arrives with the kind of momentum that usually follows years rather than months. Yet the music itself remains the strongest argument for the excitement surrounding her, blending nostalgic influences with a thoroughly modern perspective.

Presented on striking red vinyl in a gatefold sleeve complete with exclusive artwork and lyric inserts, Modern Romance is an impressive introduction to one of Britain’s most exciting emerging pop artists. Stylish, self-assured and packed with personality, it suggests Chloe Qisha is only just getting started.
