Emblem3, the Cali trio that left a blushing Demi Lovato speechless after their first performance on season 2 of 'X Factor USA,' have finally released their debut single 'Chloe.' The teen heartthrob boys from Huntington Beach, CA (Wesley Stromberg, Drew Chadwick, Keaton Stromberg) who were mentored by Simon Cowell on Fox's hit show, have finally dropped their first song off of their upcoming album, rumored to release this summer.

Describing their unique sound as "a fusion of pop, hip-hop & reggae" and "a sustainable system of inspiration," E3 premeired 'Chole (You're the One I Want)' at On Air With Ryan Seacrest on Monday April 15th. The lyrics show love for a "fictional" girl named Chloe with lyrics like, "Chloe, I know your sister turns everyone on / But oh baby / I have no doubt you are the one that I want."

The trio is currently on their second tour (the first sold out within minutes) after placing fourth on 'X Factor' last season. Their current road trip is a FREE "fan tour" entitled 'Goin Back 2 Cali,' which kicked off in April in NYC and will end in their home-state California. According to a press release, the tour allows fans "to get up close and personal with Drew, Keaton and Wes and determine which city the band visits by voting their city online."

XFactorUSA.com reports: In March 2013, Emblem3 held a string of immediate sell-out shows where they debuted new material in front of thousands nationwide and saw fans sleeping overnight daily to get a prime spot in front of the stage. The success of the tour prompted the band to announce the Goin' Back 2 Cali fan road trip...a FREE fan-voted tour will see Emblem3 travel across the US in a bus back to California where they award the winning cities with free fan events, culminating with a homecoming event in their hometown of Huntington Beach, CA on April 27, 2013. The Goin' Back 2 Cali tour will see Emblem3 visit 9 cities across the US including Philadelphia, Houston, Phoenix and Las Vegas.


Wes, Drew, & Keaton signed with Simon Cowell's Syco Music label at Columbia Records back in January, reports Huffington Post, and have teamed up with hitmakers Max Martin and One Direction songwriter Savan Kotecha to help bring to life their unique sound for their debut album.

"It's been so sick. We just got done recording our whole album, really cool, very proud of how that turned out, every track is like a smash," Wes said. "It's more our first audition style, like 'Sunset [Boulevard],' but mixed with this bigger, more pop element, but it's still Emblem3. It's still got that beachy reggae vibe. It's pop reggae."

The summer jam, 'Chloe' in which The Hollywood Reporter describes as "a mix of sugary pop confection and a Sublime-inspired beach vibe," is available on iTunes now.
