From crooked landlords to the gulf between the classes to the capricious beast that is internet fame, they're the kind of discussions that wouldn't be amiss in any group of mates, delivered in the pub with an exasperated tone and an eye roll. Granted, Chloe writes them much more eloquently than most, but that sense of frustration is shared.

Whether it's a conversation that is already being had or a new one being sparked, the unendingly catchy nature of tracks like '24 Hours' makes these everyday experiences and injustices that bit easier to swallow. Chloe provides solidarity and space to let your fury rise to the surface, be it at the government or an out-of-touch video on your For You page. Within those few minutes, emotions are validated, and the need to speak up and contribute is more keenly felt.

What began as an alter ego of sorts acting as a vehicle for Chloe to express these feelings has become more and more entangled with who she is - her music has been an act of empowerment - for her listeners, too. Having this environment to find yourself in the throes of anger despite being consistently to suppress it is vital, and Chloe encourages that for the young women listening to her. It's hard not to feel incensed when closely listening to her lyrics, but there is some release in there, too. With each new track, things become heavier and more anthemic - the songs lend themselves increasingly to jumping around and unleashing those emotions in full force rather than bottling them up.

She's already begun curating that atmosphere in her live shows. Across festival season and impressive support slots with the likes of Kings of Leon and The Beaches, the last year has seen Chloe really begin to find her feet onstage and continue to communicate her message. Watching those artists further ahead in their careers perform in front of a crowd has seemingly been a huge source of inspiration for Chloe, too.

Her music is increasingly written with the crowds in mind. The huge choruses of tracks like 'Price On Fun' truly lend themselves to being passionately sung as part of a crowd of similarly-minded people - Chloe has become more and more adept at crafting an infectious but incredibly relevant hook.

Her latest single, 'Tiny Screens', is exactly that. A formidable look at internet fame with smirking references to "Marilyn Monroe with Turkey teeth", it's bold and sardonic, the guitars wilder and more irate than any of her previous releases. It's a thrilling taste of what's to come, perfectly at home in a riotous festival set.

Chloe's origins couldn't be further from the packed-in crowd of a tent in a field, though, where the masses start to merge together. Moving from Bournemouth to Manchester a few years ago was a major catalyst for Chloe's foray into music properly, as she crucially found like-minded music lovers and threw herself into the gig-going culture of the city. Even more vital was her experience in Manchester's open-mic scene.

"It's been so important," Chloe explains. "I had never really sang my songs in front of anyone ever, before I moved. Everyone is so welcoming and just sits and watches each other, and you make friends there. It's a really nice way to build up your confidence in performing in front of people. Performing in those small rooms where everyone is looking straight at you is more scary than playing a gig. I went back and did an open mic a couple of months ago after doing the Kings of Leon show, and found it more scary. Everyone is so focused on you; you can see everyone and look in their eyes. It is almost awkwardly intimate, but I think that's really good for building my confidence live."

As things continue to grow for Chloe, those skills will no doubt prove useful. It's already been a gigantic year for Chloe, one in which she feels her "entire life has changed". With a record label signed, Glastonbury played, and new music very much on the horizon, all roads point to things getting crazier from here on out for Chloe. She calls in from a much-needed writing retreat in the countryside - having been in the city for the last three years, the fresh country air has offered her the opportunity to pause and take stock.

It's a lot to take in, and much of this year has been a learning curve. There's a myriad of signs, however, suggesting that Chloe is on the right path. Above all else, her very first meme page is a pretty big milestone. "That was a big moment," Chloe laughs. "Shoutout to sinkingfeelingmemes."

With her first headline shows rapidly approaching, Chloe is undoubtedly on the verge of welcoming a whole new cohort of listeners into her world. Her music is all about connection - it is acknowledgement and encouragement to perceive, to not let anyone tell you to be quiet or diminish your feelings. It's a call to arms to speak up and let Chloe's candid stylings inspire you to be as upfront about your own truth. There's room for these conversations in Chloe's sonic world, and there's room to unbridle yourself from keeping them locked within.

There's a resounding sense that Chloe has tapped into something really special here - something that has already begun and will continue to resonate with the masses, one gloriously scornful indie-pop anthem at a time. Chloe Slater has hit the ground running now, and it's full sprint ahead.
