Artist: Rachel Chinouriri
Song: Can We Talk About Isaac
EP: Little House
Follwing the 2024 release of her acclaimed debut album, What A Devastating Turn Of Events, Rachel Chinouriri will be sharing a new EP on April 4! 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.”
