The singer-songwriter shifted her aesthetic across her three previous albums, from the ukulele twee on 2018\u2019s <em>Rabbit Hearted.<\/em> to heartfelt pop-punk on 2021\u2019s <em>Blood Bunny<\/em> to fuzzed-out, radio-ready melodies on 2022\u2019s <em>SUCKERPUNCH<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>Oyster<\/em>, due out Mar. 28 on Public Consumption\/Atlantic Music Group, functions as an amalgamation of those sounds, while also featuring the 22-year-old\u2019s most vulnerable lyrics by far. \u201cThis feels like a very special project,\u201d says Moriondo. \u201cI\u2019m nervous, as I always am before releasing things, but especially because this one\u2019s so personal.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"chloe moriondo - hate it (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QOzI2E4O3v0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOn Wednesday (Feb. 19), Moriondo released the second preview of the album with \u201cHate It,\u201d a gleefully unhinged pop track with a creeping bass line and an obsessive protagonist (\u201cWanna wear your body and trade places\/ Everybody loves you, and I hate it,\u201d Moriondo sings on the chorus). After showcasing a sardonic streak on <em>SUCKERPUNCH<\/em>, Moriondo lets the dark humor simmer on the track while the listener is urged to hum along.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s one of the only non-aquatic songs off the album,\u201d Moriondo says of \u201cHate It,\u201d which is surrounded by songs titled \u201c7 Seas,\u201d \u201cAbyss\u201d and \u201cShoreline\u201d on <em>Oyster<\/em>. \u201cI did stick very thematically with the ocean, water and all things aquatic in general. But \u2018Hate It\u2019 was an oddball, and it just proved to me that I\u2019m going to continue writing murderous pop love songs till I die, I\u2019m pretty sure. And we just couldn\u2019t leave her off the album.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tMoriondo began working on the new album in early 2023, tinkering on songs for weeks at a time in London and Los Angeles, while also processing the worst breakup of her life. Heartbreak, and how to manage its aftereffects, serves as the undercurrent of <em>Oyster<\/em>, from the mournful piano ballad \u201cPond\u201d to the reflective bedroom-pop track \u201cRaw\u201d to the breathtaking \u201cSiren Calling,\u201d which offers closure within the final track.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cIt was very cathartic to be able to pour out everything that had been going on in my brain and in my life,\u201d Moriondo notes. \u201cIt was nerve-wracking, in some ways. I kind of felt like a baby sea turtle \u2014 flopping around, confused \u2014 for the first couple sessions and the first couple songs. I felt a little bit nervous, but it also felt like an outpouring of pent-up energy and emotion that I was excited to finally be able to release.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tNot only does <em>Oyster<\/em> represent the most cohesive front-to-back listen of Moriondo\u2019s career, but the singer-songwriter says that she wants every aspect of this album campaign to feel part of a whole \u2014 and that she became more hands-on with the planning of execution of this rollout than she\u2019s ever been.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cWith this album, I\u2019ve just learned how crucial it can be to be as involved as possible creatively, with every facet of the album,\u201d she says. \u201cWith an album like <em>Blood Bunny<\/em> or <em>Rabbit Hearted.,<\/em> I was so young, and I say this as a term of endearment, but I was still very ignorant to a lot of things. I don\u2019t think I poured as much of myself as I could have into a lot of my previous stuff, in terms of the touring, the vinyl packaging, just the life and blood of it. So I think I\u2019m much more connected creatively to this album than I have been.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"chloe moriondo - shoreline (Official Visualizer)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7qJabCqBUdY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAfter releasing \u201cShoreline\u201d as the first taste of <em>Oyster<\/em> last month, Moriondo also announced a spring headlining tour, which kicks off on Apr. 24 in Detroit.
