It’s rare for an artist to arrive as fully formed as Chloe Slater. The 21-year-old Manchester-based songwriter and guitarist has ascended to a remarkable level of notoriety in just one year. With a piercing ability to scrutinise the world around her while remaining attuned to its fleeting beauty, Slater has galvanised an ardent Gen Z following. 

Speaking about her new single, Slater explains: “Fig Tree is an exploration of choice feminism and how it feels to be a woman in a society that frowns upon visible signs of aging. It’s an upbeat and uplifting song with a reminder to never pay too much attention to society’s unfair standards.”
