Oyster is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter and YouTuber Chloe Moriondo, released on March 28, 2025, under Public Consumption Record Co. and Atlantic Music Group. This album marks a bold new direction in Moriondo’s sound, blending dreamy, glitchy production with deeply personal storytelling.

Featuring 13 tracks, the album includes standout singles like “Hate It,” “Shoreline,” and “Abyss.” Moriondo describes “Hate It” as a song that captures the intense emotions of jealousy, obsession, and longing when someone feels just out of reach. The album’s sound has been praised for its ethereal, almost aquatic quality, making it a unique listening experience.

Critics have lauded Oyster for its experimental and cohesive sound. DIY Magazine awarded it four stars, calling it “a daring leap into an oceanic, glitchy club world,” while The Independent likened its floaty, electronic tones to “the kind of music mermaids might create.” This blend of moody beats and shimmering synths gives the album a dreamlike, immersive feel.

To celebrate the release, Moriondo has announced “The Oyster Tour,” a North American headlining run starting on April 24, 2025, in Detroit, MI, and wrapping up on May 23, 2025, in Toronto, ON. The tour will hit major cities, including Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York, giving fans a chance to experience Oyster live.

The album is available in multiple formats, including vinyl and CD, through Moriondo’s official website. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering her music, Oyster is an emotional, immersive dive worth taking.
