Electronic music trailblazer and Ninja Tune signee Chloé Caillet returns with new single “Lemme Dance,” a collaboration with French producer, vocalist and Ed Banger affiliate Myd, out now.

“I wrote this song for Daniel — athletic, self-assured, a beam of light. I imagined going on a run with him. This song came out of me 100 percent complete.”

“Initially, I wrote this all on guitar and a GarageBand drum beat in 2022 or 2023, none of which made it into the final version. I came home from a night with a guy during which I had a pretty unpleasant memory pop up and wig me out during what was supposed to be a fun time. It unlocked a lot of unpleasant memories/anger during what was supposed to be a sexy, fun time, and I wanted to turn it into a celebration of catharsis.”

“The verses are personal , cutthroat and literal. I talk about […] people stuck in the past and the frustration of not being able to choose the cards we get dealt with in life and not knowing whether things are going right or wrong, I’m getting better or worse. ‘am i coming or going cos i can’t tell.’”

“We felt it didn’t have enough grit — until now. We’re super proud of what the track has become; it sounds massive.”

“‘Bitch’ is written from the perspective of someone who refuses to apologize for who they are. It’s both a declaration and a celebration of stepping fully into yourself.”

A gentle, tranquil offering, ‘White Linen’ serves as a tender ode to family, with Austel’s effortless vocals exploring themes of chosen and inherited bonds.

“I think it’s very on brand for me - something that makes you wanna dance with super depressing lyrics. If that’s my legacy, I’ll die happy.”

“[…] when all you have is a tiny breadcrumb from someone, but you hold onto it, hoping it might one day turn into something bigger.”

“It follows my journey to where I am now—speaking on the abuse, standing in my truth, and calling on others to stand up for one another and themselves.”

“‘Start Again’ captures the exact moment after heartbreak when clarity hits and you realise you don’t need anybody else to live the life you want.”

“Lyrically, the song explores the growing difficulty of forming meaningful connections in adulthood, while reflecting on the rare, almost idealistic friendships of the past.”

“I wanted this track to feel like a surrender. It’s about a passive sort of acceptance that you just let pull you under. It’s floaty, it’s moody, and it’s meant to be lived in.”

“The instrumental Leo made is a mix of loud donks and distorted guitars. The old school 2000s classic ‘hello moto’ ringtone from the infamous Motorola flip phone is sampled heavily throughout the song, and referenced in the temperamental hook ‘i think i might flip like a motorola’.”

“As a queer person, I’ve spent a lot of time imagining all the different life scenarios and possibilities of who I could be, who I should be, who I want to be and who I actually am.”

“I’ve played some of these songs live and it feels like a balm. I’ve loved hearing how they’ve helped people remember, feel and be seen.”

“‘Oh Mother’ is about leaving home and feeling confused about where home is now meant to be. It captures the nostalgia of being a child, and reflects what it’s like to miss feeling protected.”

“‘Honey Factory’ is a fever-dream fantasy of burning it all down. I was thinking about this idea of being a bee in someone else’s machine, and how luxury today feels dystopian.”

Built on moody, contemporary production and guided by Ebony’s smooth, understated vocals, ‘Drunk Callin’’ captures the fragile space between impulse and control.

“Loophole explores the feeling of mentally stepping outside yourself when someone is yelling at you, using restraint and distance as a way to survive. I think it’s very on brand for me - something that makes you wanna dance with super depressing lyrics. If that’s my legacy, I’ll die happy.”
