Chloe Mogg’s Gritty Anthem “Better Off,” an Ode to Shedding Negativity
In a world where music often serves as a sanctuary, Chloe Mogg’s latest rock single, “Better Off,” emerges as a powerful voice of resilience and a testament to self-empowerment. Hailing from Worcestershire, this emerging artist is no stranger to the vibrant tapestry of emotions that music can weave. With a debut album titled “The Crazy One,” Chloe is carving her name into the annals of the West Midlands music scene, bringing forth a vibrant blend of rock-edge rhythm with pop-blues influences that ignite the soul and defy the naysayers.
“Better Off” is a gritty, alternative rock track that thrusts a defiant middle finger for those who thrive toward negativity with the second teaser from her highly anticipated debut album, “The Crazy One.” Chloe’s inspiration for this anthemic song stemmed from a personal awakening. She explains, “I wrote this at a time in my life when negative people kept weighing me down. I was always a bit of a pushover and let people walk upon me, and then something snapped one day. I thought, ‘You know what, I don’t need that in my life anymore,’ and ‘Better Off’ was born. It’s simple… life’s too short; you don’t need toxic people in it!”
Lyrically, “Better Off” dives deep into the complexities of self-worth and the consequences of succumbing to external pressures. Chloe’s raw vocals encapsulate this empowering sentiment and deliver lines like “If I stick it to a man and forget who I am, does that make me worthy? If I leave it to my thoughts but remember all the loss, would that save the cruelty… all the lies that you spread all my life… I think I’m better off!… alone.”
Musically, “Better Off” offers a captivating evolution, blending pop-blues and alternative rock, a headbanging delight. Chloe’s signature harmonies seamlessly intertwine with fuzz-laden guitar riffs, a pulsating drumbeat, and a danceable rhythm that beckons listeners to hit the nearest dancefloor.
Chloe’s debut album, “The Crazy One,” encapsulates a decade of personal growth, exploring themes of mental health, discrimination towards disabilities, and heartbreak. With the help of Alex Vine Ruiz and an ensemble of talented musicians, including Ali Clinton, Jack Bowles, and Chloe’s father, Ian Mogg, the album is a testament to her resilience and artistic prowess.
Beyond her music, Chloe fervently advocates raising awareness of ‘invisible’ illnesses. Her work on platforms like BBC Radio 1 and BBC News Online, where she discussed discrimination against musicians with disabilities, underscores her commitment to inclusivity in the music industry.
“Better Off” is more than a song; it’s an anthem of empowerment and a testament to the transformative power of music. Chloe Mogg’s fearless approach to music and life is a beacon of hope, reminding us that we are better off without the negativity that seeks to hold us back. This track firmly establishes Chloe as a rising star in the UK rock scene.
