Music Showcase – Chayne’s New Single Turns Heartbreak into a Sardonic Celebration
Chayne is a 17-year-old alt-pop artist whose dark and edgy sound is embellished with a hint of indie glam rock — bold, cinematic, and unmistakably original. Chayne moved with her family from England to Southern France at the age of five, settling near the vibrant city of Perpignan. Growing up between two cultures, she is perfectly bilingual in French and English, a richness that subtly shapes her artistic voice.
Since 2020, Chayne has been writing and recording her own music using her family’s home studio equipment. Despite the demands of full-time schooling, her sound already carries a striking emotional depth and raw authenticity that sets her apart.
Working closely with producer Paul Thomson, Chayne has found a creative partnership that perfectly balances their different musical styles, bringing a dynamic energy to her work. “This song came from a two-chord tune we came up with,” Chayne shares. “It’s been a bit of a thing for us to write a complete song with only two chords – it’s really hard!”
The result, her latest single “It’s Gone, He’s Gone,” is a bold and sardonic celebration of breaking free from a destructive relationship. The two-chord motif, reminiscent of old French films like Betty Blue and Jean de Florette, sets a cinematic backdrop for lyrics that are both nonchalant and empowering.
“I hear weird stories about what people put up with and I’m amazed how crap they feel,” Chayne explains. “I just wanted to be as nonchalant and sardonic as I would like to be after a break-up! Really, I’d hope that this song might make people think they can see the positives in a break-up. It may not feel like it, but it’s probably for the best — so be strong and celebrate!”
“It’s Gone, He’s Gone” is taken from her upcoming debut album, a genre-bending collection that moves effortlessly between pure pop, stadium rock, screaming industrial heaviness, sad minimalist electro, and everything in between.
With her fearless attitude, eclectic vision, and striking originality, Chayne is quickly becoming one of the most compelling new voices of her generation.
