Rising Canadian singer-songwriter Chloe Stroll releases her debut album, Bloom in the Break.
In celebration of the release, Stroll shares the official music video for focus single, “Home.” Watch HERE.
“I hope that ‘Home’ becomes someone’s wedding song,” Stroll details. “When I got married, I felt, ‘you’re my home’ about my husband. We can live wherever; we can move wherever. But we can do that because you’re my home. It’s not four walls. It’s not wherever we are, it’s wherever you are.”
Stroll wrote over seventy songs, paring them down to a dozen which would become Bloom in the Break. She recorded in studios around the world with collaborators including Walter Afanasieff (Mariah Carey, Celine Dion), Swagg R’Celious (Babyface, H.E.R.), Kevin Bard (Andy Grammer, Dan + Shay).
The album reflects a full spectrum portrait of Stroll’s past experiences and how it helped her to get where she is now. Stroll hopes listeners will find the same comfort and healing in the album as she did while creating it. “I wanted people to be able to relate to it in their own ways, and in their own struggles,” she details. “Your problem is your problem, but when you’re standing up against a wall, we’re all facing that same wall. That was my North Star.”
Of the album’s title, she describes, “I pictured something beautiful—literally the most beautiful flower blooming through breaking glass. Because life’s obstacles create who we are, which is where beauty lies—in all our imperfections. It’s how we grow to become the people we are.”
Born and raised in Montreal, Stroll wrote her first song at seven years old. She released her debut single “Run” in 2023, and 2024 found Stroll releasing several singles, including “Thin Air,” “Water Over Sand” and more. She performed 2023’s “Pedestal” on The Kelly Clarkson Show, and of the song The Knockturnal details “it takes the feelings commonly associated with broken bonds and is described through expressive lyrics combined with a variety of soft tones and melodies. This song incorporates a range of raw emotions that many listeners can relate to due to past or current experiences.”
Artists that inspire Stroll include Lana Del Rey, Billie Eilish, Whitney Houston, Barbara Streisand, and Adele, also drawing inspiration and meaning behind many of her songs from a deep love of her family and husband, Olympic medalist Scotty James.
