🎧 Approved: chlothegod

North Carolina-born singer-songwriter chlothegod makes songs that rarely finish in the genre they started in. Soul, alt-R&B, guitar pop and punk all turn up in her music, sometimes mid-song, with lyrics that are honest, funny and not remotely tidy.

Music was her way out of a hometown that bored her, and her 2025 EP, ‘I Feel Different Every Day’, worked through frustration, grief and burnout in her twenties. She’s since shared stages with Olivia Dean and Lola Young.

New single ‘B Polite!’ starts out quiet and a bit wonky, then builds until she’s declaring “I don’t wanna be polite”. She remembers arriving at the session sick or hungover, wanting something brand new without abandoning herself. “I love this song because it’s pulled back until it isn’t, it’s metallic and flirty and funny and even superficial a bit, but it’s daring until the second it ends and so am I”, she says.

This track follows ‘Middle Man’ and ‘That Can’t Be Normal’, with more new music expected in the coming months. It would be rude not to listen.
