ON TOUR WITH SABRINA CARPENTER NOW
Today Rachel Chinouriri announces her forthcoming new EP Little House, due for release on Friday, April 4th via 10K Projects / Parlophone Records / Atlas Artists and available for digital pre-order now. She also shares the project’s lead single “Can we talk about Isaac?”, an ode to finding healthy and fulfilling love with her boyfriend, Isaac.
Premiering last night as Hottest Record In The World on BBC Radio 1, the track arrives in a period of optimism and freedom for Rachel in her songwriting. Following the challenging and personal topics covered on her acclaimed debut album What A Devastating Turn Of Events, the new single leans into the lighthearted giddiness of a blossoming new relationship.
Rachel shares: “I write songs from a place of trauma but since releasing my album, I’ve consistently been in therapy and fell in love. Isaac makes me feel so protected and I’ve never felt protected really in my life, especially from men. I just felt so much of a new emotion I decided to let myself write about how much I love him, no matter what happens the fact that Isaac is the first and only guy to make me feel like this is special. It’s a shame that it took that to love myself but Isaac is my hero and I hope this fairytale never ends.”
Rachel this week set off on the road across the UK and Europe as main support for Sabrina Carpenter’s Short N’ Sweet arena tour, arriving this weekend at London’s O2 Arena. Following this, she will embark on her debut US headline tour, taking place across May and June, and includes her biggest shows to date in LA (Fonda Theatre), New York (Webster Hall) and culminates with an appearance at Bonnaroo Music + Arts Festival. The tour is largely sold out following a number of venue upgrades and additions due to demand, see below for full list of dates.
The release follows Rachel’s first BRIT Awards as a nominated artist for Artist of the Year and Best New Artist, and a performance on The Graham Norton Show last weekend. The nominations stand as a testament to Rachel’s incredible breakout year in 2024, the year which saw the long-awaited release of her debut album What A Devastating Turn Of Events. She went on to sell out her UK headline tour, including in her hometown at London’s Kentish Town Forum. To celebrate the first anniversary of What A Devastating Turn Of Events Rachel will release an exclusive white LP vinyl version of the album, available to pre-order now, out on May 2nd 2025.
About Rachel Chinouriri
Rachel Chinouriri is 2024’s most exciting British breakout star. With the release of her debut album What A Devastating Turn Of Events she cemented her reputation as one of the UK’s most accomplished young songwriters. Making the album was a cathartic experience for Chinouriri: by putting the challenges and joys of her life so far under a microscope she traverses themes of life, death, home and belonging, mental health, love and letting go with unflinching honesty, resulting in a one of the most unique indie pop records in years.
What A Devastating Turn Of Events landed in the Top 20 of the UK Official Charts and led to Rachel securing her first two BRIT Award nominations (Artist Of The Year, Best New Artist), following previous nominations for an Ivor Novello award, multiple Rolling Stone UK awards and being tipped on the BBC’s coveted Sound Of poll. Following the album’s release she played a triumphant and emotional set on Glastonbury’s The Other Stage, sold out her UK headline tour and starts 2025 by supporting Sabrina Carpenter on all dates of her Spring UK and Europe arena tour.
With her fiercely loyal fanbase, the “Darlings” behind her, and over 2.4 million monthly Spotify listeners, Chinouriri has clocked up over 233 million global streams to date. Over years of experimenting with musical stylings, highlighted in her exploratory 2021 Four° in Winter project, Rachel began to hone a style totally her own with her 2022 EP Better Off Without, blending her signature delicate vocals with pure indie instrumentation. She has been praised by the likes of The Observer (“brimming with fresh ideas”), NME (“consistently charming”), GQ (“Chinouriri is set to dominate”), BBC Radio 1, Later… With Jools Holland and more. Elsewhere, she’s received recognition and support from the likes of Adele, Lewis Capaldi, Sam Fender and Hollywood darling Florence Pugh, who starred in the video for Rachel’s single “Never Need Me”.
