The Bite Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2025 - Issue 38

SoSadSoHot M alaysian-born, UK-based alternative pop artist Chloe Qisha returns with new single ‘So Sad So Hot’ out via Columbia (UK) and RCA (USA), co-written with hitmaker Caroline Ailin and longtime collaborator Rob Milton. The track debuted on BBC Radio 1’s Future Pop in October and marked her first release since the May 2025 EP Modern Romance. The song is a vibrant future-pop anthem, blending upbeat melodies with funk and disco influences while staying fresh and modern. “‘So Sad So Hot’ is a playful take on heartbreak, finding yourself in the throes of sadness whilst being the most mag- netic person in the room,” the singer explained. “I wanted to write a song about wearing sadness as an accessory, letting it empower you instead of dragging you down. I like to think that this song is an assertive reminder that you’re still that bad bitch even if you’ve had your heart broken. This song is the opener to a new era for me, and I’m so excited she’s coming in with a bang.” After a massive summer of shows, including three nights supporting Coldplay at Wembley, All Points East, Primav- era, and Leeds Festival, Chloe Qisha kicked off her UK and EU tour in October, including a sold‑out show at London’s Village Underground. Her tour has taken her across Lon- don, Manchester, Bristol, Glasgow, Paris, Brussels, Amster- dam, and Berlin. Next spring (March/April 2026), Chloe will launch her first US and Canadian tour, with dates in New York, Montréal, Toronto, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Since debuting in July 2024 and playing her first show just months later, Chloe has already made a significant impact. She’s graced the covers of Rolling Stone UK, NME, and KNUCKLE, and been praised by British Vogue, The Face, Elle UK, BBC, CLASH, DORK, DIY, The Line of Best Fit, and more. Her music has also earned acclaim from BBC Radio 1, Spotify, and other leading platforms. www.chloeqisha.com Chloe Qisha Image courtesy of Satellite-414 via Lily Eiger
