Chloe Slater channels doppelgänger Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Harriet’ video

After years of the resemblance between herself and actor Daisy Edgar-Jones, Manchester newcomer Chloe Slater has - perhaps, finally - leaned into it for the video to new track, ‘Harriet’.

For it, she and director Bonnie MacRae, have recreated scenes from the smash TV show Normal People (obviously).

“What started as a running joke about me looking like Daisy Edgar-Jones turned into a full-scale recreation of my favourite scenes,” Slater explains. “We were laughing on set when the shots matched perfectly. I’ve never eaten so many ice lollies in my life!”

Director Bonnie 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!”

The track itself, meanwhile, is one of Chloe’s earliest, as she explains: “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.”

Chloe also heads out on tour later this year, beginning at Portsmouth’s Night Currents festival on 4th October, and finishing in Dublin on 16th October.
