Song Writer(s): Chloe Smith, Julian Morello, Isaac LovelockIt has been a big month for Chloe Smith, the versatile singer/rapper who made her return very evident some weeks ago when releasing her critically acclaimed comeback single "Born Free". The single, which features a more dark Chloe speaking on living life freely and out of the control of others shot to the top of Airplay Charts to everyone's surprise for two weeks, and counting. After the singles release, Chloe made her return official, stating that she felt "more inspired then ever" and expressed an extreme excitement on releasing her oft-delayed and highly anticipated sophomore effort also entitled "Born Free" which is slated for a summer release. Within the same week, Chloe also released the unapologetic "Started Out England" that was also met with high critical praise and even sent Chloe's fans into an all out frenzy of excitement since it was the first all rapping track Chloe released since 2010's hit single "Tales From The Crazy Mouth". With all the recent success, Chloe doesn't look to stop there as she continues to build anticipation for the new material she has in stores for all of her fans and supporters for the new album. Today, Chloe gives her fans some more new material.
Today, we get even more Chloe material. The track, "Never Meant To Last" which might be quite familiar to most Chloe fans. The artwork of the Isaac Lovelock assisted track was unveiled on the starlets website and was slated to be released as the first single following the ending of Chloe's hiatus. For unknown reasons, the song was held back and "Born Free" was chosen to be released instead. This song has been rumored to be written with producer Julian Morello following Chloe's relationship split with Weekend's Scott Wellington. These rumors were neither confirmed or denied. The track, also produced by Julian Morello takes another swift turn for Chloe once again showing her versatility and ability to rap or sing over any type of track or genre, as she sings entirely throughout the track showing her powerful vocals. If you forgot that Chloe has pipes, then today is the day where you, as a listener is in for a rude awakening.
Never Meant To Last which features a rap verse from rap artist Isaac Lovelock is the newest release from Chloe, which will be one of the tracks featured on "Born Free" slated for a summer 2013 release. The song is about a love that has suddenly turned wrong and the female protagonist must make the transition from being heart broken and missing that person to realizing and accepting the fact that their love was never actually meant to last which can be in a nutshell, infectious, tear jerking and even uplifting as Chloe puts out all of her emotion onto this powerful song. The track starts off with with a drawn out instrumental that coos throughout the opening seconds of the song, seconds pass and an slow R&B influenced stomping beat comes over the instrumental with piano notes that fit perfectly with the initial vibe of the track. Seconds pass of this concoction and Chloe's vocals are heard. They are deep, emotionally filled and very proclaiming. Over the relaxed, and piano driven beat she smoothly sings about being hurt about a love that has come to an end. She sings about the memories, her ex lovers scent on their bed as she reminiscences about him. Chloe continues to sing onto the next part of the the first verse, as she stops singing and begins recalling words of an old love one and the words they said to her. The beat, cuts away a bit, as the stomping beats come to a halt with beginning coo is still and piano notes. Chloe's voice is in a sad, and depressed manner as she speaks ending off with the line |It sometimes ends before it can begin| Right after, the stomping beats resume where they left off as Chloe begins to sing again as she begins to come one with herself with the lyrics she is singing out. The backing beat behind Chloe as she sings seems to be growing bigger adding in eletric synths and over the stomping and clapping instrumentation. Chloe's vocals get stronger, as she puts emphasis on each ending of the line that she sings.
As she finishes singing the line |As those walls will start crashing down on you| the song breaks in a infectious, uplifting and powerful chorus adding in baroque instruments over the electrifying synths, heavy piano notes the stomping beats and drums . Chloe belts out over the massive backing beat: Well it’s over now|It was never ever meant to last|It’s best to just move on and put it in the past| Because it’s over now|These things are just not meant to be. Chloe posses a great deal of emotion for the chorus and a sadness in her voice as she pulls out her best vocals for that part of the song. After she sings that, the same coo instrumentation that was heard earlier in the song follows the big chorus, where Chloe speaks again. After doing so, the backing beat picks up again, and so does Chloe's singing as she recalls the past about trying to end the relationship on a positive note. Chloe sings the verse perfectly and when she finishes, the piano takes over once more with notes for a few seconds after she sings and Isaac is heard. As he raps violins are added behind his vocals as he raps about what they could have been. The violin goes perfectly with the initial track and Lovelocks vocals along with the stomping and clapping beats that were easily heard throughout the track. As Isaac raps his part, you can hear the beat building to it's chorus and when he finishes, Chloe belts out a massive high note, as the track breaks into the chorus where she sings out, finally realizing that their love was never meant to last, nor were they ever made for eachother over the accompanying backing beat. As the chorus rides out, only the stomping and clapping beats are heard as Chloe speaks one last time murmering : It’s better that I know
They say it’s better to be free|But it doesn’t help at all| When the world is crashing all around me; As the song come to an end.
Chloe gives her fans and listeners alike a song that can easily be related to, showing off her strong vocal skills as she suits us up for the release of what may be one of the hottest album releases of the summer. Tell us what you think of Chloe's newest release!
Never Meant To Last (Feat. Isaac Lovelock)[non-bold] - Spoken words I open the curtains
And all I see is a sky of grey
I sit on the couch thinking about how you went away
There’s a theory that all love must someday come to an end
But if you aren’t around here anymore
I’ve got nothing left to defend
The memories are hanging by the smallest thread
Your smell still lingers in our lovers bed
But it’s over now and I know that
And this is what you saidThere comes a time When you have to part ways With something that doesn’t give no more When all it does is take Love gives out it’s punishment For fools who do rush in But love doesn’t wait for anyone It sometimes ends before it can begin There was a time in my life
When all I had ever known was standing tall
But as you take away the foundations
From a life that was meant for two
Your world can quickly start to crumble
As those walls will start crashing down on you
Well it’s over now
It was never ever meant to last
It’s best to just move on and put it in the past
Because it’s over now
These things are just not meant to beIt’s better that you know It’s better to be true But it doesn’t help at all When the world is crashing down on you You say, we should part our ways
Like many people have always done before
We should say goodbye
To love that is to be no more
We should wave goodbye
To a place that felt so right
We should hold our heads high
But darlin’ I’m getting no sleep tonightI could be your Charlie Tramp
You could be my Virginia Cherrill
And we could both have a City Lights type o’ deal
You open your curtains and see skies of gray
I open mine and see a brighter day
It doesn’t matter what I say
My actions choose whether or not I stay
Fuck it, I don’t need your pity
I’ll drink and reminisce on our fond times in charm cityOOOH-OOH-OOOHHHH
But it’s over now
It was never ever meant to last
It’s best to just let go and put it all in the past
Because it’s over now
These things are just not meant to be
I ain’t meant for you
And you ain’t meant for meIt’s better that I know They say it’s better to be free But it doesn’t help at all When the world is crashing all around me _______________________ Sounds like
