Oyster is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter and YouTuber Chloe Moriondo. It was released on March 28, 2025, by Fueled By Ramen, Public Consumption Record Co. and Atlantic Music Group.[3][4]
Background
Succeeding Moriondo's 2022 project, Suckerpunch, and described as a breakup album, Oyster centers on the themes of love, heartbreak, grief and self-discovery.[5][1] It incorporates elements of ballad, hyperpop, pop-punk and indie pop.[6] Consisting of thirteen songs ranging between two to four minutes each, the album was produced by Jonah Summerfield, Chloe Kraemer, and AfterHrs (composed of Andrew Haas and Ian Franzino),[6] and preceded by three singles titled "Hate It", "Shoreline" and "Abyss".[3][6][4] The title was derived from Moriondo's early life when her father, at her mother's request, frequented a restaurant to buy oysters for a family meal.[1]
Reception
DIY Magazine rated the album four stars and stated, "With Oyster, she takes another daring leap – this time into the depths of an oceanic, glitchy club world, resulting in a breakup album that is as ambitious as it is beautifully crafted."[5] The Independent noted that "its floaty songs are the sort of soft, glitchy pop that I imagine mermaids might make."[1] Clash Magazine rated it eight out of ten and remarked, "Overall, Oyster is a solid effort, showing Moriondo's maturing musicality. Whether you're going through a breakup or just trying to navigate your younger years, it's worth a listen."[2]
