In an era of shiny pop perfection and cookie-cutter sound, 17-year-old Chayne breaks out with a raw, unflinching alt-pop single, “It’s Gone, He’s Gone.” The young artist who grew up in an English-Southern French hybrid culture provides a beautiful and unfiltered record, representing the pain of moving on and the solace in what’s left behind.
Chayne’s voice is like a ghost traveling memories through the song’s cinematic soundscape, which is delicate but ferocious. Atop a dark alt-pop foundation and colored by threads of indie glam rock, “It’s Gone, He’s Gone” plays like a diary entry soaked in shadowy synth and intense emotion. This is very much art from the inside, but however personal, it is never self-indulgent. Every note sounds lived in a story told by someone who’s felt too much, too young, and decided to sing through the ache anyway.
More remarkable about Chayne, though, than the sound itself, which is enough to turn heads on its own, is the creative spirit behind it. She’s been making music on her own terms from her family’s home studio since 2020, somehow, while attending full-time school, pouring this much soul into her work. That in itself tells you a lot about her commitment and passion.
Her bilingual heritage subtly permeates her artistry, providing her performance with an emotional flexibility that oozes intimacy and finesse. Her voice has a textured duality of innocence roughed up by experience, softness clashing with steel. “It’s Gone, He’s Gone” is the rare breakup song transcending tumbling out of love. It’s a coming-of-age anthem for a generation struggling with identity, loss, and growth in real-time. Chayne is in full bloom with this killer new single, firmly establishing her as the beacon voice of a new generation of alternative pop. She’s chiseling the spotlight out for herself.
