 I first came across Chloé’s artistic output in December 2005 when I bought the ‘House Invaders 1/5’ vinyl sampler on HY:BR. I to this day listen to ‘Afterblaster’, a track she made together with her fellow countryman Alexkid, every now and again. Therefor, my connotations with her name were good to say the very least when I decided to give her first album a few listens. However, I also kept one thing in mind – dancefloor annihilators (whoever has heard it will know what I mean) like the aforementioned cut usually don’t find their way onto artist albums. My intuition did not let me down in these two respects as ‘The Waiting Room’ is a good album, but one that is only intended for home listening. Instead of taking the dancey route, the French producer steered clear of the dancefloor by filling her album with 15 highly original productions that are anything but run of the mill and can’t easily be pigeonholed. What makes them even more unique is the fact that there are 2 prevailing themes to be found on all of them, and they are honesty and boldness. The Parisian was not afraid to bend the rules a bit and avoid the beaten path in respect to the make up of an electronic music album. You’ll hear beats, but you’ll also find a complete lack of them, and instead, vocals and live instruments such as the trombone (luckily, there are no accordians) and the guitar. Chloé was also not afraid to open herself up a bit to her audience and confide with her listeners, as can be heard while listening to the almost paranoid ‘It’s Sunday’, for example. A good and interesting album, but nothing more than good when compared to the high number of outstanding albums that have come out this year.
