Chloe Borsody Delivers an Honest and Warm Single


A beautiful new track from Chloe Borsody delivers a very impactful and honest soundscape that lyrically paints a picture using emotionally driving approaches, and this particular warmth in its tonality from the instrumentation to the vocals.


"Getting Used To It" certainly paints that picture well and lets a lot of inner thought come spilling out for everyone to soak up, which I find super refreshing because that honesty builds character and gives the song such lush personality that you simply can't look away from it.


One of the things I adore about this track is the way the vocals are performed, but also recorded. There are male vocals along with Chloe's that bounce back and forth, and then as the song unfolds, it becomes a sort of duet with both vocals harmonizing in such a beautiful fashion that it all wraps itself around you.


At the start of the track, you have a little bit more of a stripped-down version, but Chloe's tracks are doubled, and whoever is performing the male vocals is also doubled, giving both sets of vocals this beautiful thickness.


For some reason, the fact that the vocals are double-tracked like that lets you pay more attention to the lyrics.


The start of the song and the way that it's tracked made me think of artists like Elliott Smith, for example.


Now, as the song unfolds, it grows. The instrumentation starts building up, percussion comes in, guitars, violin, there's a lot that starts coming into play instrumentally as the song comes full swing, and it really goes right along with the emotional build of everything.


What starts off feeling like a folk song turns into an Americana track, and the way it all comes together fits like puzzle pieces so that the song has a forward-moving and natural flow but also a semi-dreamlike feel in its undertone.


That vastness or dreamy feel comes not only from the music and instruments, but from the vocals as well.


All vocal performances here, including Chloe's, of course, are soft and dynamically smooth, which works perfectly with the music itself.


You have banjo and strings that fill the space, add that southern underbelly to everything, and drive the whole thing home.


You can tell that this came from someplace real and that Chloe puts pieces of herself into her music, which is definitely one of the most attractive aspects of the song; however, the way the performances come together is really what hooks you.


This is a song I needed to listen to a few times to soak it all in because there are layers of texture going on between all the instruments and vocals, but somehow, it all works perfectly.


I also love how that rustic tonality is kept throughout the track's playthrough.


You have that roots folk feel, and maybe that comes from the banjo, or the acoustic guitar, but either way, this particular aesthetic is always there, and I love that about the track because it helps the authentic and honest approach shine through even more.


The whole thing is incredibly warm and welcoming.


It is very easy to escape into this song because lyrically, it's like reading a chapter in a book, so you get pulled away from wherever you are and whatever you're doing, so you can listen to the story, the emotion, and the words.


The music delivers the mood for those lyrics, and it's all gorgeous.


This is an easy song to fall in love with and an even easier song to relate to or connect with.


This is a track that certainly stuck with me for hours after it ended, which is part of why, as I mentioned, I had to listen to it more than once to really wrap my head around that sentiment and story, but also the music.


Listen to this song with headphones on because it's one of the best ways to listen to it, without question.


You can really take in all those tones and textures this way.


I'm sure this will affect you, so go listen to this and see what this track does for you.
