As we noted a few very long weeks ago, we are ready for the official Chloe Moriondo glow-up of 2025. The Detroit alt-pop and indie comet has been building a cult-like following over the past few years, and recently unveiled a 20-show North American spring tour, which features a penultimate May 21 appearance at Boston’s Paradise Rock Club.
Now we’re getting word of Moriondo’s new album, oyster, which hits March 28 via Public Consumption/Atlantic Music Group, and with the news comes a playful single called “hate it.” The vivacious electronic-pop joint blurs the lines between love, hate, and obsession — and two o those emotions are rolling through our domepieces as we play it on repeat here at V HQ.
“‘hate it’ encapsulates all the feelings of jealousy, hatred, and obsession that can come with a crush on someone unattainable, or yearning for a life that feels unattainable,” Moriondo says.
And like previous effervescent single “shoreline,” a warm sonic fling that belies its lyrical themes of enduring the aftermath of a relationship gone sour, “hate it” should only fuel the buzz even further.
“I’m so fucking ecstatic for this album to be out,” Moriondo adds. “I’ve been yearning to release it since its conception and I’m bursting at the shell trying not to leak it all now. It’s full of vulnerability, frivolous crushes, despair, parties, and 17 billion tons of salt water. The world is my oyster, and soon it will be yours too!”
We love it.
