Chlöe Howl - "Rumour" (Official Video)

The young British pop singer Chlöe Howl has been on a short but potent hot streak lately, releasing generally awesome singles like “Rumour” and “How Proud.” “Rumour,” a statement-of-intent sort of song, already had a video, but now it’s got a higher-budgeted one, a clip befitting of a rising and recognized young star. The clip itself is an eminently goofy visual metaphor about how rumors are like chess matches that keep us muzzled (or something), but Howl herself has such a fun and badass presence that it’s worth watching.
