It&#8217;s also a call out to those listeners who know her from her previous releases as Ameliarose, and a declaration that she&#8217;s still got that same toughness and intelligence as before, but she&#8217;s turned it all up a notch or two, with every emotion amplified, the music intensified, and the lyrics sharpened with edges that cut through diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Chaz Kiss&#8217;s upcoming EP, &#8216;Dead Moths In My Sugar&#8217;, she&#8217;s playing and singing even better than before, with the writing and arrangements of her songs displaying a fearlessness characteristic of major artists. Her sound has been released from any genre, with Chaz Kiss forging a personal sound that fuses alt rock, emo, jazz, and art-pop. <br>With &#8216;Goliath&#8217; Chaz floats along a piano groove before she explodes into a barbed chorus; it&#8217;s an experimental sound yet Chaz Kiss manages to make it all sound as natural as the sun rising in the morning, and just like everything else she does, it&#8217;s a reflection of her magnetic &#8211; at times strange, and offbeat, personality. Being true to herself, she retains her integrity.<br><br>The music video for &#8216;Goliath&#8217;, directed by Lorelei Edwards &amp; Brian Edwards, sees Chaz dressed to kill in bright colours, thick-soled black shoes and tight tights, glitter and attention-grabbing cosmetics, and &#8211; in a few scenes &#8211; in a black top hat. Chaz Kiss is the ringleader, and is firmly in control &#8211; until she isn&#8217;t. One moment she&#8217;s at her most vulnerable, the next she&#8217;s absolutely determined. At no point however is anything hidden, it&#8217;s sheer commitment to her message and melody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can check out the incredible video for &#8216;Goliath&#8217; below, and find out more about this wonderful artist and her music online on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.reverbnation.com\/rpk\/Chazkiss\" target=\"_blank\">ReverbNation<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/chazkiss\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chazkiss\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chazkiss\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/tiktok.com\/@chazkiss\" target=\"_blank\">TikTok<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_36461\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hs1dfP68_1I?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"GOLIATH (Official Music Video)\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/hs1dfP68_1I\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Upstate New York artist Chaz Kiss used to go by the name Ameliarose, and her latest release, &#8216;Goliath&#8217; wants people to know that we shouldn&#8217;t be underestimating her strength.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":74643,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"Upstate New York artist Chaz Kiss used to go by the name Ameliarose, and her latest release, 'Goliath' wants people to know that we shouldn't be underestimating her strength.","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7,9,21453,21445,21446,21449,640],"tags":[28937,28938,11720,77,370,1945,116,10677,81,22992],"class_list":["post-74653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-new-releases","category-new-singles","category-reviews","category-single-reviews","category-video-reviews","category-videos","tag-chaz-kiss","tag-goliath","tag-lisa-hafey","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-new-video","tag-review","tag-single-review","tag-video","tag-video-review"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-jq5","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":93050,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2025\/10\/jessica-chaz-ignites-the-dancefloor-with-your-love-remixes-ep\/","url_meta":{"origin":74653,"position":0},"title":"Jessica Chaz\u00a0Ignites the Dancefloor With\u00a0&#8216;Your Love Remixes&#8217;\u00a0EP","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"20\/10\/2025","format":false,"excerpt":"Released on the third of October, 'Your Love Remixes' is the latest EP from Vancouver-based singer songwriter, Jessica Chaz.
