Chloe Qisha Releases Debut Song “VCR Home Video”
London-based Malaysian-born singer-songwriter Chloe Qisha released her debut song “VCR Home Video” on July 3, 2024.
The song received its first play during BBC Radio 1's Future Pop with Mollie King.
The track reflects on her family and growing up.
It was written by Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Chloe Qi Sha Lim, Jonah Summerfield, and Rob Milton who also produced the track.
The accompanying music video was directed by Ling Yu Yan.
Chloe Qisha said of the song, “‘VCR Home Video’ is probably one of the most intimate songs I’ve ever written. It’s mainly inspired by my relationship with my parents and the growing pains I felt as our dynamic changed over the years.”- She continued, “I think at some point everyone goes through this realisation that your parents are just people too. It’s such a painfully obvious truth, but for some reason when you’re a kid it just doesn’t register. Instead, your parents are just as complex and complicated as anyone. They love deeply and hurt the same way you do. And at some point, you start looking after them.”
She added, “It’s one of those songs that even though it was only finished a couple months ago – it feels like it’s always existed.” -
