Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Rachel Chinouriri Drops New Music Video for “What A Devastating Turn of Events”
London-based singer-songwriter Rachel Chinouriri dropped a new music video for “What A Devastating Turn of Events” on March 15, 2024.
The song was released as the third single from her upcoming debut album of the same name last month.
The track was written by aniel Hylton Nuamah, Glen Roberts, and Rachel Chinouriri. Produced by HYLNU.
Rachel Chinouriri said of the song, “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 debut album comprises a 14-track and is set to be released on May 3, 2024.
Rachel Chinouriri said of the album, “It's finally here. The moment most musicians dream of when they're a child. I can't believe it's real in a way, but I'm proud of it. 'What A Devastating Turn Of Events' should feel like discovering a personal journey of all the hardship and struggles that have ultimately made me the person I am today.” - She continued, “I was lost when I first made this album, when I felt so lost within myself but also in London. I was on a search to find myself and I can say I've managed to do that by the end of this process and have found a love for myself that I never thought was possible. I feel fortunate enough to be able to document that process and have it in physical form and sound. Hopefully it'll help other people realise that it takes tough times, self accountability, betrayal and uncomfortable moments to finally get to a point of true self love. I'm more than ready for the next chapter.”
