Chloe Kay & The Crusade – Broken Woman
“She have such a beautiful voice, with great range, a bit nasal at moments, just as I love. Song is perfect for her vocal capabilities, amazing synergy she have with the music. That guitar solo is so old school rock moment, just a perfect timing so you can be blown away with her voice when the verse comes back. ”

Eora (Sydney) based band Chloe Kay & The Crusade’s music is deeply rooted in blues, reminiscent of past times, with a timeless essence. Their new single ‘Broken Woman’ is true to this sentiment, showing a more vulnerable side to the band, a side of front-woman and singer Chloe hadn’t explored yet.
The band’s two previous singles, ‘Just Got Burned’ – which saw the band chart at “19 on the Triple J Unearthed Roots Chart, and ‘Brokedown and Broke’- which premiered on Rolling Stone, were both heavily riff-focused, upbeat blues-rock tracks, the type of music you’d blast with the windows down on a road trip.
“The blistering instruments of icons such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and Leon Bridges shine through, while Kay’s vocals feature a mesmerising timbre reminiscent of the like of Bonnie Raitt or even Joss Stone.” – Tyler Jenke, Rolling Stone
Shifting from this, ‘Broken Woman’ was a catharsis for Chloe after breaking away from an unhealthy relationship.
“‘Broken Woman’ was my chance to say what I’d been holding inside. This track is for those who have been taken advantage of, lied to and disrespected in a relationship and who so badly want to be seen and heard. ‘Broken Woman’ will be a little slice of therapy for some and serve as an anthem for those who have felt broken. I hope it will give them a chance to feel empowered, even just for a few minutes.” – Chloe
