“Devil’s Game” is a smooth track from Chloë Chadwick, a singer/songwriter from Cheshire, England. This Alt/Pop song lyrically is about how the addiction of gambling is the type of vice that slowly devours the player who feels they have it under control.
The lyrics sing: She[‘]s a spender, never settles for less gotta have the very best, she’s havin the time of her life / She’s a gambler, betting on borrowed time. Hearing voices in her mind, calling her to not give up on the night / She fights her demons in the middle of the night, soaks up tears with a bottle of wine / As [G]od as her witness she thought she could get out of it this time / Cus it’s too late, it’s the end of the line.
The blend of Country Rock instrumentation creating that strong melodic backbone drives forward the practicality of the song and gives the song a melodic sense of normality. In addition, Chadwick’s voice, much like early Olivia Newton-John, gives to music aficionados what have been missed in mainstream music as of late, and that is REALISM – a passionate, powerful, vocal prowess with a human touch!! In just three minutes, the listener is given a lesson on what happens when one keeps knocking on the Devil’s door, soon he will open it. “Devil’s Game” covers all bases – we have a rich melody, stellar hook, and a story.
