Cloe Givelin stirs resonating dynamics of thriving with her new single “Living in My Own World”
New York–based emerging rock-pop artist Cloe Givelin, influenced by her multicultural background rooted in Hong Kong and Welsh heritage, boldly steps into the spotlight with her unapologetic new track, “Living in My Own World.” This song encapsulates the intrigues and resilience of her artistic adventure, offering a novel perspective on escapism amid the growing melancholic experience of solitude in the modern rock music landscape, particularly from the viewpoint of a foreigner.
At its core, the song “Living in My Own World” is an anthem of perseverance, an assertion of self-identity amidst societal pressures that suggest a sense of alienation. Cloe Givelin articulately lays bare her struggles with identity and isolation, as well as the emotional burden of feeling like an outsider. Her introspective approach is delivered with such passion and energy, transforming vulnerability into empowerment, resulting in a soundscape that is both intensely personal and universally relatable.
Musically, “Living in My Own World” is charged with rock intensity, weaving her robust vocal performance into dynamic guitar-driven layers that shift between defiance and introspection. There’s an edge to her delivery that draws listeners in, yet a tenderness that keeps them connected to her narrative.
What distinguishes Givelin’s work is her unyielding commitment to authenticity; she refrains from romanticizing pain or isolation here. Instead, Cloe opted to embrace these realities and repurpose them into something cathartic and undeniably powerful. Her profound desire extends beyond merely seeking to be understood, but also to be discovered, reflecting a quest for meaningful connection and love, despite feeling overlooked, while steadfastly refusing to diminish her own presence. This notion underscores the poignant reminder that forging one’s own universe often entails rediscovering ties with like-minded individuals.
As the first glimpse of her upcoming debut album SPH, this single doesn’t just set the stage; it poses a challenge to established norms in the music industry. Cloe Givelin is determined to innovate rather than conform, aiming to break traditional boundaries. If “Living in My Own World” is any indication of her ambition and potential for success, she is on a promising path that could reshape the current music landscape.

Album Review
Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”
Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.
Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses“ is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires“ is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.
“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.
The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home“ by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.
The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
