“‘You’re OK’ was a big healing song for me. I wrote it about my grandmother,” Stroll explains of penning the song after her grandmother’s passing. “She and I were very, very close, and the only thing that really gave me comfort in that moment was knowing that she was OK.”
Stroll continues,“My grandma was spectacular. She would always sit in this big yellow chair in her bedroom and wait for us to come and visit her…You could never call enough, you could never see her enough.” She goes on to explain, “So I painted the picture that I remembered, of her sitting in the chair… I painted that picture, I wanted to capture the sadness, but also turn it into something that felt healing for me. ‘At least one of us is OK.’”
Further new music is imminent.
Born and raised in Montreal, Stroll wrote her first song at seven years old. As a teenager she attended a Broadway boot camp but eventually turned her focus to other ventures including business and fashion. However, music always remained close to her heart, and she returned to her true passion full time with the release of her debut single “Run,” which Popdust raved is “a sensational entry into the industry, Chloe’s melodic tone and crushing lyrics will have you begging for more.”
Last year 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, Scotty James.
