Today, Rachel Chinouriri releases a new version of her standout single “All I Ever Asked” with New York born, LA based artist Sombr. Through its sparkling indie pop, the song has become an anthem for knowing your self-worth, with Rachel asking for the most basic love and respect from a partner who cannot provide what she needs in a relationship.
On the collaboration, Rachel shares, “I have always loved ‘All I Ever Asked’ and the journey that it’s taken me on. Sombr has added such an amazing light and joy to the song and I’m so unbelievably excited for everyone to hear it. His tone, writing and style has always been so cool and I’m so happy he wanted to be a part of it.”
Sombr adds, “I was in a cafe on the Lower East Side when I first heard ‘All I Ever Asked’. It was like a ray of sunshine, and I loved it so much. Rachel is such an amazingly talented writer and performer, and I was so excited by the opportunity to be a part of this beautiful record. Big props to Rachel on her Brit noms, by the way! Let’s go!”
Today, Rachel announces her debut US headline tour, set to take place across May and June 2025, and includes her biggest shows to date in Los Angeles (Fonda Theatre), New York (Webster Hall) and culminates with an appearance at Bonnaroo Music + Arts Festival. Tickets for Rachel’s headline tour dates are available via artist presale on Monday, February 10th at 10am local, and on general sale Friday, February 14th at 10am local time.

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 will support Sabrina Carpenter this year 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’.
