Born Free is the highly anticipated and long awaited album by Urban and Pop recording artist Chloe that will be released on March 16th, 2014 under Chloe's current label, Tric Jam Records. The album itself is a follow up to Chloe's debut album "Different Elements Of Chloe" that was released in 2011. Born Free, at first was named a different title but has gone through a series of changes as the singer/songwriter went on a journey to find herself musically and really create her niche in music. Different Elements of Chloe showed just how versatile Chloe was not only a rapper and a singer but a hip hop/grime artist and fully fledged pop artist on the other hand. The release of her debut album can be looked at as a gift and a curse if you will. Although Chloe's music was met with chart success, when it came to the directions of her followup album in 2012, there was a lot of confusion on where she wanted to go. Chloe didn't want to create an album that didn't have direction, which really took away from the quality of her debut and what she wanted to do was release a string of records in preparation for her sophomore record.

Earlier records like Grand Theft Auto, and Losing My Religion were released in preparation for the record but was met with a lukewarm reception from her fans, months later Chloe released successful #1 singles in Liberation, followed by another #1 single "24 Hrs" which features Sammy Griffin. Unfortunately, there was still confusion as to where the album was going to go, and with all the stress Chloe took time off to be with her family and really begin writing and recording for this album that her fans have been eager to hear for so long. While she was gone, she released quietly released the pop infused "Never Gonna Dance Again" as an official promotional release from the album, which was then tentatively titled "Born Free". Never Gonna Dance Again was a success as well peaking at #3 showing that although Chloe was still finding herself musically her fan base was still very much there. After "Never Gonna Dance Again" was released, Chloe then took some more time off to get the album together. At that point, people really didn't believe the album would see the light of day.

Chloe proved her nay sayers wrong when she returned with "Born Free" the lead single from "Born Free" the album. The record came as a shock to fans and a breath of fresh air as Chloe finally returned to her urban roots, which was something majority of her fans wanted to see happen on this new album, and Chloe clearly seen that. Born Free became a major success peaking at #1 on both the Airplay and Digital Charts with the song holding onto the Airplay #1 for two weeks. Born Free quickly became Chloe's most successful single to date. This put alot of anticipation back on the album and Chloe promised the album would be released as soon as its finished. She also promised that the album would be predominately urban influenced and felt massively inspired. Following Born Free [single] Chloe went onto release Started Out In England and Never Meant To Last which all were successes, peaking within the top 3 on the charts. Never Meant To Last showed a perfect concoction of urban pop and clearly proved Chloe to still be as versatile as she was when she first debuted in 2010 and that she is aware of her fans. After Never Meant To Last, Chloe went into the studio with Isaac Lovelock, Parish and Atlas. Together, it formed "Gods Of Thunder" a grime and vicious rap record released in December of 2013 that showed all four musicians at their best lyrically and was confirmed to be apart of Chloe's new album. The single was also a major success peaking at #1 on both charts respectively.

Born Free been in the works for quite a long time and has gone through some differences and changes to its track listing and such, but not once did Chloe stop believing in the album and its release. The record was named Born Free because through all of the trial and tribulation Chloe realized that she was Born Free to do what she wants musically and as a person and felt that there was no better title then to name the album "Born Free". The album title was chosen in late 2012 and has never been changed with Chloe loving the title from the day it was thought up. Throughout the record, Chloe raps and sings about different subjects that not only come from her heart but songs that she knows that her fans will be able to relate to and come into one with. Not all the records are meant to be serious and show Chloe's battles with insecurity and self doubt, but also shows Chloe as a women who identifies with herself in confident, fun tunes and relationship infused records as well. Chloe didn't want to make a one sided album, and although mainly urban it also drifts into other genre's that can clearly be heard on the listening journey that you take on the album.

"Wow, its been a long time coming. I know I've been doubted for a while but now its that time! My fans been waiting so long for this and I'm glad to finally have completed it in full. It's been a hell of a long time coming and I've been able to talk about things that I have never ever been comfortable talking about in the past with this album. It shows my growth as a musician and as a personal and the battles I've dealt with when the camera's weren't in my face, and what goes on behind closed doors. At the end of the day I was born Free, and I am who I am no matter what. There was a time when I didn't believe in myself and a time when I thought about quitting this album, but I've regathered myself. Became hungrier then ever, more inspired then ever and now I am here today ready to deliver my album this month for everyone who has been waiting. Because I've been waiting to get this out to all of you for a hell of a long time and I want to apologize for the long wait, it's here now. To all my fans by my side, I love you with everything in me for waiting and believing in me and continuing to support me. This is for you. This has been a therapeutic and inspiring journey. Now? this lady is more inspired then ever "

Right now I've got so many thoughts in my brain
That I cant see
I don't know where I wanna go
Or where I wanna be
All I know is I don't feel like me
It don't feel like I'm here, feels like its a dream
I don't know if I wanna cry or if I wanna scream
Do I wanna share my burden or keep it to me?
Will I find a boy to help me and what does that mean?
No one know the real me, But who could it be
Cause if I tell you then your for keeps

The stress is all building up
And there's no one around
The weight is all building up
Pushing me into the ground
So drag me out of the shadows stop my sky being grey
Someone pull me out of the darkness and show me the way

I got so much on my mind right now
I don't know where to start
I got so much to think about now
It's affecting my heart
I wanna find a boy that nice and smart
He needs to be perfect, this ones gotta be the last
They could help me out, take my mind apart
Study me find out about my past
Be my psychiatrist they can play that part
Times gone so fast I don't know where to start

I'm to proud to except help I push it away
I could really use some verbal today
Talk out my problems, is a game that I don't normally play
Somewhere along the path I've gone stray
Now I cant find my way
It's been a long day, long week, long year
Still I don't shed one single tear
The weight just keeps getting heavier sometimes I fear
That its hard for me to even be sincere

The stress is all building up
And there's no one around
The weight is all building up
Pushing me into the ground
So drag me out of the shadows stop my sky being grey
Someone pull me out of the darkness and show me the way

I just gotta find you
I just wanna feel complete
I wanna fill this void
I wanna be the full me
But I'm blind I can't see if your far away or right in front of me

The stress is all building up
And there's no one around
The weight is all building up
Pushing me into the ground
So drag me out of the shadows stop my sky being grey
Someone pull me out of the darkness and show me the way

Remember when I said that you were the one
Turns out you don't love me, you were having fun
And all those things that I said and done;
for you, Oh for you, were true baby!

It's just another way of saying you wanna be apart (apart)
It's just another way of you trying to break my heart (my heart)
I, oh I, was a fool
To trust someone like you, must've been so blinded
And I, oh I must play it cool
Can't show you I'm hurt, I can't let you win (no!)

Remember when I said that you were the one
Turns out you don't love me, you were having fun
And all those things that I said and done;
for you, Oh for you, were true baby!
Oh woah oh oh here I go
Oh woah oh oh here I go (thought you were the one)
Oh woah oh oh 'bout to blow
Oh woah oh oh 'bout to blow (thought you were the one)
Thought you were the one!

You say we're not working but I know you just wanna play around (around)
You say I'm not loving, please!, you just wanna fuck about (about)
I, oh I, can't believe you
I gave you everything, don't even blame me
And I, oh I must keep my cool
Before I blow up and start crushing some bones (oh!)

Remember when I said that you were the one
Turns out you don't love me, you were having fun
And all those things that I said and done;
for you, Oh for you, were true baby!
Oh woah oh oh here I go
Oh woah oh oh here I go (thought you were the one)
Oh woah oh oh 'bout to blow
Oh woah oh oh 'bout to blow (thought you were the one)
Thought you were the one!

Remember when I said that you were the one
Turns out you don't love me, you were having fun
And all those things that I said and done;
for you, Oh for you, were true baby!

Oh woah oh oh here I go
Oh woah oh oh here I go
Thought you were the one!

Try to shrug this feeling off, its like someones watching
Back there in the darkness, I know eyes are on me
Not sure whats goin on but my skin is crawling
And I know I hear footsteps but they stop when I stop walking

There's something in the shadows
This thing i tried to hide
It will always follow
It wants to see the light
(2x)

Worked so hard to hide this, wrapped dead demons in white sheets
Stuffed skeletons in closets, I thought I had it beat!
Again I face judgments and new friends turn their backs
Even though I made a change there ain't no second chance

Try to turn around and see, only empty streets
I'm not just paranoid, it cant be just the breeze
My past is back there lurking, it caught back up with me
I had it left behind, I had it buried deep!

There's something in the shadows.
This thing i tried to hide.
It will always follow.
It wants to see the light.
(2x)

This things just a shadow
Covering my back, it always trails behind me
IM HAUNTED BY MY PAST


There's something in the shadows.
This thing i tried to hide.
It will always follow.
It wants to see the light.
(3x)

We gon' take it to the moon, take it to the stars
How many people you know can make it this far?
I'm taking charge, all these haters in my heart
We gon' take it to the moon, take it to the stars
How many people you know can make it this far?
Too many scars, and it's not from my haters

I'm different, yeah I get it
Not like you, not like him, not like her, not like them
I'm a freak, I'm a demon, I'm the spawn of every evil being
Don't have feelings, don't have faith, don't have respect, don't have face

Wrong bitches

I have respect for those who give it back
Faith in something higher and greater than any of you haters out there
I feel love, I feel thank, I feel wrong, I feel great
I feel sad, I feel struggle, but what I don't feel is hate
Don't fuck with me if you know what's comin' for you
Don't fuck with somethin' you can't handle
Haters push me forward, haters push me down
Then I remember this rap and push right back to where I am now
"She can't rap. She can't sing"
Don't care what you say, I hold my ground, hold my place, don't come up if you can't face

We gon' take it to the moon, take it to the stars
How many people you know can make it this far?
I'm taking charge, all these haters in my heart
We gon' take it to the moon, take it to the stars
How many people you know can make it this far?
Too many scars, and it's not from my haters

What I say, what I do, what does this have to do with you?
It doesn't, One last stand is all it takes, the world can finally rest in peace.
But I'm not done yet. What do you mean?
I mean I'm standing up, pushing back, what should've done I'm doing now.

Years ago, worlds away, something happened to this place
What I mean is where'd it go? That happy place, that happy glow?
Gone, out the window with my self-esteem and everything dear to me
My family, my friends, they're still here but they're not the same
The only thing remaining is my haters, they haven't changed
I'm still worthless, still crazy, still stupid, still just me
But I'm every bit as strong as I was and always will be

We gon' take it to the moon, take it to the stars
How many people you know can make it this far?
I'm taking charge, all these haters in my heart
We gon' take it to the moon, take it to the stars
How many people you know can make it this far?
Too many scars, and it's not from my haters
