Rising singer-songwriter Cloe Wilder is having a grand couple of days. She just had the good pleasure of playing her first show in New York City. and now the sixteen-year-old artist shares her new single, “House By The Water.”  Almost gossamer in its delicate, fragile beauty, the song features Cloe’s voice especially rife with longing, as she tries to make sense of that particular sort of uncertainty that comes with reaching teenage hood, and having to accept leaving behind one’s childhood forever.

Cloe shares, “I’m in this constant struggle between being really serious about everything, and missing home and friends a little bit, and this song is definitely a representation of that. I grew up in a house by the water, and this song is me trying to get back to that place and get back to that state of mind and peace and happiness. It’s one of the saddest songs for me.”

The video for the single was directed by Jesse DeFlorio and shot in the mountains in California. Cloe notes, “we sunk a junkyard car in the water and did a lot of cool, stupid music video stuff. We tried to make parts of it seem like a memory.”
