“I had to learn a new way of writing,” grin Rachel Chinouriri towards you and you know that this straightforward main rate was not so straight to implement. As an openly sung overthinkian, as one who is overwhelmed with the depression ceiling for days and knowing a spiral life stories of people around her, this is a ten-year plan that the 26-year-old has just made up for herself within a few months. The Britin, which was published in 2024, what a Devastating Turn of Events, made it a multi-applauded indie pop sensation and gave her the job as a tour of Sabrina Carpenter.
And now the client of the Catchy melodies no longer wants to get stuck in the negative mindset. “I no longer want to say that I hate myself. That doesn’t help me, it doesn’t do me good. I prefer to say that I am proud of myself and appreciate where I got myself. Namely where nobody was in my family. In fact, the singer-songwriter was the youngest of five children of Zimbabwean Immigrant: Inside, it was difficult to grow in the Croydon district of South London-in the only black family in the area. She experienced racism in all its forms every day, felt unadjusted, like in a life between the chairs, had to do with suicidal thoughts.
Traumatic experiences accompanied their growth as well as the songs by Daughter, James Blake, Coldplay and Traditional Zimbaweani dishes. But she no longer wants to see herself as a person who only has to fight with the inside and outside. She wants to look at herself differently – and also officially celebrate. “I think as someone who writes music to escape the negativity, I really have to tackle a new way of writing, because if I have been a rather unfortunate person – apart from my career path – when I have been a rather unfortunate person. Then you start asking yourself whether it is worth doing it and talking about this. Having music career where everything is going well and then going home and hate myself?
An optimist thanks to the present view
Rachel Chinouriri held her next development step on her EP Little House. The cover art work shows her sitting in the green, next to her she has a bouquet of flowers of the way you like to give away for your birthday. And behind Chinouriri is a residential complex that looks like more than just Tiny House. Four tracks include the publication with which it repositioned itself. Still as a damn good observer (“I love to listen to the life stories of people, I can’t get enough of that!”), But also as a lover. As a lover. As one who can not only have this mischievous in the conversation.
She wants to tell us about her oversknown, of her fantasies of future in all directions. And the musician is also happy to share the second in the interview. “I want to have a really long career. Even if I am over 40, I still want to go on tour and meet concerts and meet fans and all of this. I would like to live a long creative, artistic life in which I am also in exchange with people around the clock. I am currently in the process of being able to paint bigger whole to me and my life.” And this positive view goes even further: “What really lets me look into the future is now. I mean, I am on the road with Sabrina Carpenter and appear before 15,000 to 20,000 people with whom I can establish a real connection over time.”
This 20 tour stops with Carpenter currently gives her the kick that she needs to continue her change like one that has started for Olympiagold. “I have never pulled through a tour of this size or so many shows in a row. But that makes me sweat all the time. But I learn a lot about myself in the quick run. And I say that as someone who is actually difficult to put up with changes. A few years ago I would have had a kind of nervous breakdown if something changed in a way. To adjust to a change, but I can handle it better.
So it happens that she can framed the constant new environment on the road, which she perceives like a “daily change”. That she wants to appreciate this moment and get involved. And if it all gets more bumpy than he likes to propagate on social media as a very straight self -optimization path, then the British has her aids ready immediately. Either scheduled it via zoom therapy talks or she does even more of what has already helped her to be a steadily growing career anyway – she writes without end. If not directly in song form, because that would probably be too much bustle on tour. But anyway: “I write a diary every day. If I don’t do that, I wouldn’t know anything to do with myself to be honest.” Even with the diary text, she would have changed the perspective on the good, she admits. “It’s about gratitude in all my entries. And when I put together what I am grateful for, what I would want to Mosern will be so incredibly void.”
The trauma no longer keeps her small
It is Rachel Chinouriri’s declaration of war on the negative what she had surrounded for so long, yes, he had literally put on her. What you delivered to the eating disorders, anxiety and howling cramps. She doesn’t want it anymore. “I want to be able to forgive myself more,” said her wish. Because: she wants to love completely. For this, the musician confirms again in the conversation with the memorable falsetto: “I will not allow the trauma to ruin me, I will continue to process it so that I feel better and happier.”
If you experience them in Sabrina Carpenter’s preliminary program, the difference could hardly be greater. There is the main act, which offers a one-half hour show that is choreographed in a way exactly from the start to the end and Rachel Chinouriri is in front of it, who so unfiltered her herself, acts spontaneously, even comes into conversation, lets tears flow with people, and which will inspire the fans of carpenter at the latest at the end of the set. can. In fact, she should be noted that she cannot believe where she has catapulted herself. “The stage is really huge. If you had told me a year ago that this would come to me, I would have shaken my head.” So, and who is pinching her now to clarify her once and for all that everything really happens to her at the moment?
