Emerging artist Chloé French transports listeners to a glittering dreamscape with “Angels”, the lead single from her upcoming NY Tapes EP. The 24-year-old Swiss-French songwriter (born Chloé Sautereau) distills her jet-setting journey—from Geneva cafés to Berlin clubs to NYC streets—into three-and-a-half minutes of pure disco euphoria tinged with existential longing.
The track pulses with a sophisticated tension, its sleek production balancing Parisian elegance against New York’s gritty energy. French’s airy vocals float above shimmering synths as she explores that peculiar ache of desiring something undefined—a feeling she describes as “strange jealousy for something you’re still unaware of.” The chorus soars with celestial wonder before giving way to an explosive dance break that would feel at home in both Studio 54 and today’s underground clubs.
Having already made waves on Swiss airwaves and collaborated with hitmakers like Jared Benjamin, French proves her songwriting chops extend beyond her years. The track’s French lyrical flourishes add playful sophistication, while the production’s warm analog textures nod to disco’s golden era through a modern lens.
More than just a dancefloor filler, “Angels” is a masterclass in nostalgic futurism
