‘Merry Go Round’ is a simple record. No, we are not throwing any shade on it; in fact, we are praising it. You see, crafting uplifting, relatable and catchy pop music is not as easy as people think. It takes expertise, restraint, and introspection. It takes wisdom. Chloe Clouds has clearly been blessed by all those qualities, penning carefree, meaningful country-pop goodness that’s vibrant and memorable. ‘Merry Go Round’ is all of that and more.
As we said above, the track does champion simplicity; it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it perfects it. Clocking in at just under three minutes, ‘Merry Go Round’ entice listeners from its first notes, offering a slice of bright and empowering charisma in an otherwise gloomy reality. That’s also part of Clouds’ allure; she appears very positive and measured, driving this elegant artistic figure that constantly oscillates between country, pop, folk and your occasional Disney-esque ballad.
Crafted with the help of producer Tyler Spicer, ‘Merry Go Round’ makes a point of reclaiming one’s independence and stability in the context of a chaotic romantic relationship. As Clouds explains: “This playful song was inspired by dating & chasing the wrong guy, you reach a point where you need to get off that fairground ride! A song that everyone needs to hear at some point in their life.”
