Directed by Chloe de Brito, the video follows a seventies-style title card with visuals that evoke the earthy and entrancing nostalgic spirit of classic fantasy from the golden age of maverick filmmaking. Grainy camera captures the magic of lush forests and rolling hills as CXLOE lithely dances and sings styled in Boho chic. She immediately entrances as the track levitates from glitchy production wizardry into a gorgeous and glorious refrain.
Co-written by CXLOE and Michael Pollack [Maroon5, Jonas Brothers] and produced by MAG [Bebe Rehxa, Zara Larsson, Astrid S] and Louis Schoorl [5SOS], “Devil You Don’t” instantly enchanted audiences and critics. In under a month, it’s closing in on 1 million streams. INTERNS named it among “12 Songs You Need To Hear This Week,” going on to write, “The chorus on this one might be her finest yet,” while EUPHORIA raved, “Looking for your next dark pop fix? CXLOE is serving it in spades.”
