Rachel Chinouriri has shared the title track of her upcoming debut album.
With 'What A Devastating Turn Of Events' set to arrive on May 3 via Parlophone/Atlas Artists, the moving song shows off the rising indie artist's storytelling lyricism while reflecting on a death in her family. She said:
"This song is one of my saddest but proudest achievements. It’s personal and based around a true story. It’s the tragic story of a girl who is a similar age to me. I think with every step of her journey, someone somewhere can understand the feelings she felt to some degree. Whether it’s to do with relationships, friendships, neglect, motherhood, depression, rejection, battling internal hatred or suicidal thoughts … I feel like this is something most people can relate to.
"The decision to take her own life is something many people have contemplated and her life was almost the perfect storm to create that environment which is heartbreaking. Without the right support or understanding around you, people can feel trapped and it’s sad she ever made this choice. Her story deserves to be told and I hope more people know that this is a feeling that many people have felt and you should always ask for help."
The record will also feature the previously unveiled cuts Never Need Me, The Hills, All I Ever Asked, and So My Darling (Acoustic).
Chinouriri will play her biggest headline show yet at London's KOKO on March 6, ahead of a run of US shows in the spring. She'll also play Glasgow's TRNSMT festival in July.
