Persian and Indigenous alt-pop artist continues her rise with a bold anthem exploring love, self-sabotage, and emotional vulnerability
LOS ANGELES — Rapidly rising alt-pop artist Chloe Star is preparing to captivate audiences once again with the release of her highly anticipated new single, “fairytale,” arriving May 29, 2026, via Chloe Star Records.
Known for blending raw emotion, unapologetic authenticity, and powerful rock-infused pop production, Chloe Star has quickly become one of the most exciting emerging voices in alternative music. Drawing from her Persian and Indigenous heritage, the singer-songwriter, visual artist, and tribal advocate has built a growing international fanbase through music that explores identity, resilience, and personal transformation.
The release follows a string of successes that have earned Chloe recognition from major music publications. In 2025, Rolling Stone featured her track “Bad Habit” in its prestigious “Best New Music: Songs You Need to Know” roundup. Additional praise has come from outlets including CLASH Magazine, 1883 Magazine, EUPHORIA, EARMILK, and NOTION Magazine.
A Modern Love Story With A Dark Twist
On “fairytale,” Chloe Star dives into the complexities of romance, fantasy, and self-reflection.
The emotionally charged track explores the longing for a love story that feels magical and larger than life, while also confronting the reality that personal insecurities and self-destructive behaviors can threaten meaningful relationships.
“My song Fairytale is about longing for a kind of love that feels whimsical and almost unreal,” Chloe explained. “But it also reflects the realization that, in chasing that kind of love, I sometimes become the monster—sabotaging the very things I care about most.”
She continued by questioning the idealized love stories many people grow up believing.
“It raises questions too: does fairytale love really last the way movies say it does? Do stories like Beauty and the Beast actually end in lasting happiness, or do we just stop watching before things get complicated? I guess we’ll never really know.”
Powerful Vocals Meet Rock-Driven Production
The single showcases Chloe’s impressive vocal range as she moves seamlessly from intimate vulnerability to soaring emotional intensity. Warm distorted guitars, cinematic piano melodies, and dynamic rock instrumentation create an atmosphere that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable.
Fans of artists such as P!nk, Avril Lavigne, Paramore, Billie Eilish, and YUNGBLUD will likely find plenty to connect with in Chloe Star’s latest release.
A Fast-Rising Voice In Alternative Pop
Raised between Los Angeles and her family’s reservation in San Bernardino, Chloe Star’s artistic journey began at a young age. Journaling and creative expression became important outlets that eventually evolved into songwriting and performance.
Since making her debut in 2023, she has emerged as a powerful voice within the LGBTQ+ community while advocating for Indigenous representation and creative empowerment.
Her growing reputation has led to performances at major events across the United States and the United Kingdom, including London Pride, New York Pride Festival, Back Lot Bash in Chicago, Out & Abt in New York, and The Dinah in California.
