Smart lyrics, maximum on-stage charisma and that warm and versatile voice: it’s no wonder BRIT-nominated singer-songwriter Rachel Chinouriri hasn’t looked back since she went viral with 2022’s “So My Darling”. With the uplifting punky pop of “I’m Not Perfect (But I’m Trying)”, the extreme catchiness of “All I Ever Asked” and the indie power of “The Hills”, Chinouriri showcases her voice and lyrics to perfection. It’s not all sunshine from Croydon’s latest superstar: she has a real talent for capturing grief and heartbreak on songs like “What a Devastating Turn of Events” and the state of the world on “If Only”.
