Hotly buzzed rising folk/Americana/pop artist Cloe Wilder has released her new single “Cigarette” as she launches a European tour supporting Spencer Sutherland. The 18-year-old Los Angeles-based, Florida-raised singer-songwriter’s new song, co-written with Sutherland and Sam Nicolosi, touches upon a key period of teenage transition, featuring a catchy chorus declaring, “I was holding my breath, I was counting to ten, I was trying my first ever cigarette. You were already gone, left me there with your friends.”
“I wrote ‘Cigarette’ last year with my friends, Spencer and Sam,” shares Wilder. “The idea of ‘trying my first ever cigarette’ was more of a metaphor than anything. I was in a different stage of life than all my friends; people were leaving for college, going through breakups, getting into these new relationships, and experiencing a whole other side of being young. In many ways, I felt so ahead of them. I was already working and touring, but I was also falling behind. I hadn’t experienced anything romantic or rebellious. I was so angsty about what I was missing out on, which is a pretty common theme in my music, so that’s really what ‘Cigarette’ is. I felt that I didn’t belong at the party, but I still wanted to be there.”
Wilder will spend the first quarter of 2025 on the road supporting indie-pop singer/songwriter Spencer Sutherland all across Europe and North America. The European tour kicked off on Monday night (January 20th) in Utrecht, Netherlands and will stop in a total of 15 cities, including Amsterdam, Madrid, Rome, Berlin, Paris, and London, before wrapping February 13th in Manchester. Then, beginning February 23rd in Phoenix, Cloe and her band will travel throughout North America on a 26-date trek taking them to such places as Dallas, Austin, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Chicago, Nashville, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Boston, New York City, Toronto, Denver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego and Santa Ana, where the tour will conclude on April 8th.
