FEATURED PERFORMER ON THE 80^th ANNUAL GOLDEN GLOBE^® AWARDS ON JANUARY 10^THON NBC

NEW YORK, Jan. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Music Masterworks recording artist, composer, producer, and activist, CHLOE FLOWER kicks off the new year with a new single, "Golden Hour," available now. Composed for piano and orchestra, "Golden Hour" celebrates the music, magic, film, and fashion of Hollywood's Golden Age. In support of the new release, Chloe is set to perform on the 80^th Annual Golden Globe^® Awards airing Tuesday, January 10 from 5-8 p.m. PT/8-11 p.m. ET on NBC and streaming on Peacock.

Chloe Flower notes of the song, "With 'Golden Hour,' I wanted to create space for listeners to be in the moment and simply feel. When I was composing the piece, I was thinking about the emotion of a great movie soundtrack, and I wanted to tell a story to connect me with my audience. I always have in the back of my mind Schoenberg's suggestion 'If it is art, it is not for all, and if it is for all, it is not art.' and every time I perform, I try to chip away at this outdated idea, break barriers, and hopefully reach a new audience and bring people together. For me, music is a connection between our souls and the universe, and it is an honor and a privilege to share my music with you."

The in-demand pianist had a blockbuster 2022. Chloe Flower performed at the prestigious 45th annual Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, D.C., on behalf of honoree Tania León. Following her holiday EP release, Christmas with Chloe Flower, Chloe appeared on ABC's The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration alongside Ne-Yo and Becky G and ABC's Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade.
