Rachel Chinouriri announces her second album 'I think I spoke too soon', arriving on 16 October, and shares the lead single 'One song away from crying'. The title captures the fragile distance between appearing perfectly functional and being defeated by the wrong melody in a supermarket.
Chinouriri's songwriting has consistently balanced bright alternative pop with stories about identity, relationships, isolation and the pressure to appear stronger than circumstances allow. The new album follows her acclaimed debut and includes a collaboration with Lucy Dacus, expanding the emotional and musical circle around her work. 'One song away from crying' turns that familiar private tipping point into something melodic and communal. It is not a song about dramatic collapse so much as the exhausting effort required to remain one chorus away from it. Explore more alt-pop releases.
