Since the launch of her debut full-length album ‘What A Devastating Turn Of Events’ last spring, Rachel Chinouriri has been steadily carving her path towards indie pop fame, marked by nominations for Artist of the Year and Best New Artist at the BRIT Awards, a main support role on Sabrina Carpenter’s Short N’ Sweet arena tour, and her own headline tour in the US. In addition to her professional achievements, Rachel’s personal growth has been significant, which she explores in her EP ‘Little House’. This four-track collection introduces a tonal shift influenced by her experience of falling in love and ultimately finding herself in a positive space. The opening track, ‘Can We Talk About Isaac?’, joyfully celebrates that love, immersing the listener in her fairytale romance with vibrant, cheerful instrumentation. ‘23:42’ carries this sentiment further, evolving from a feeling of sweet infatuation to a confident affirmation of commitment. A notable feature of Rachel’s music is her skill in balancing emotions within a project without allowing one to overshadow the others. This is evident in ‘Little House’, as the last two tracks, ‘Judas’ and ‘Indigo’, adopt a more subdued tone. With minimal, gentle arrangements that highlight the softness of her vocal talents, it presents a vulnerable, open-ended exploration of late-night reflections about the elusive feelings that arise when seeking connection. Although it may seem brief, ‘Little House’ conveys all that it needs to and is ultimately rich in emotion. The EP encapsulates the essence of Rachel’s growth and openness, further establishing her as one of the most exciting and genuine voices in indie pop today.
