Chloe Slater revels in her Daisy Edgar-Jones comparisons in new ‘Harriet’ video.
It’s been a big year for the pop breakout, who supported Alessi Rose on her massive UK and European tour, before releasing acclaimed EP ‘Love Me Please’.
Along the way, a running joke amongst her fans is how much Chloe resembles Normal People star Daisy Edgar-Jones – like, a lot.
So, she’s decided to run with it. ‘Harriet’ is a bittersweet tale of love and regret, and the video finds Chloe Slate reenacting key scenes from the acclaimed TV drama.
“’Harriet’ is one of my oldest songs,” Slater shares. “I wrote it at 18 in the worst student halls imaginable, during my first heartbreak. There’ve been so many versions since, but this release feels like a little nod to that girl – like a real ‘I made it’ moment.”
Pieced together by Bonnie MacRae – who is actually making her directorial debut – the video utilises incredible attention to detail, from Connell’s bedroom rebuilt in Streatham to the exact supermarket dress worn by Marianne.
“What started as a running joke about me looking like Daisy Edgar-Jones turned into a full-scale recreation of my favourite scenes,” Chloe explains. “We were laughing on set when the shots matched perfectly. I’ve never eaten so many ice lollies in my life!”
Bonnie MacRae adds: “I’ve watched Normal People maybe twelve times, so getting this brief was an actual dream. Chloe and I shared so many of the same references and influences, it made the whole process seamless. To bring ‘Harriet’ to life in this way, with a track that could genuinely sit alongside the original soundtrack, was such a joy!”
Tune in now.
