This October, singer, songwriter, and visual artist Chloe Trujillo launched a bold new chapter of her musical career with the release of her first single, “As the Sky Is Falling Down.” The song serves as the opening statement from her upcoming four-song metal EP, Rebirth, due out March 5th.
While her past releases explored a wide range of musical genres, Rebirth represents a turning point, an artistic surge where experimentation gives way to clarity and self-truth. The result is a collection of guitar-driven metal songs that are her most personal and emotionally honest work to date.
The hypnotic and fiery lead single, “As the Sky Is Falling Down,” explores the search for inner calm amid the chaos rising above negativity, while trying to remain grounded and strong. At the same time, songs like “Lies” and “Thumbs Up” showcase your ability to throttle between clean melodic vocals and full guttural screams.
At the core of Rebirth is Chloe as the driving force, writing with a clear musical vision while working closely with producer Jake Carmona, who also handled guitar, bass, and instrumentation to shape the EP. Songs that are a bold and ambitious evolution of Chloe’s abilities to shift into the metal realm that transport listeners on a multi-faceted journey.

Robert Cavuoto spoke with Chloe about the songwriting process for Rebirth. She shares that some ideas are written the traditional way using guitar or keyboards, while many of her musical ideas emerge while she’s painting. In those moments, melodies and words arrive organically. Other times, inspiration comes when she awakens from a dream, with late-night recordings whispered into her phone. For Chloe, creativity is less about control and more about acting as a conduit, allowing ideas to pass through freely, whether visually or musically.
Thematically, Rebirth is shaped by Chloe’s spiritual outlook and life experiences, including trauma. Rather than viewing hardship as defeat, she sees it as a catalyst for growth. This philosophy runs throughout the four songs, which emphasize the long arc of personal growth that only becomes clear years later.
Throughout the interview, she reflected on how maturity, coupled with confidence, has changed her relationship with creativity. Where she once hid lyrics in notebooks or burned them out of fear of being seen when she was young, she now views openness as essential. With many songs completed and ideas still swirling, Trujillo hopes to put together a band and tour once she has a full album.
