Rachel Chinouriri’s Conversational ‘It Is What It Is’ and 4 More Cool New Pop Songs This Week
Rachel Chinouriri's "It Is What It Is" and more cool new pop songs this week.
The London native has charmed festival audiences, and opened on Lewis Capaldi’s tour after sending the hitmaker a drunk DM; she possesses the ability to apply her vocal lilt to dance-friendly sprints like her 2022 single “I’m Not Perfect (But I’m Trying),” as well as jazzy nod-alongs like this year’s “What a Devastating Turn of Events,” which doubles as the title for her upcoming debut album.

This Is Lorelei, the solo project from Water From Your Eyes’ Nate Amos, has come up with one of the most rip-roaring pop singles of the year by locking in on a rock grooves and never letting go, as “I’m All Fucked Up” swivels between hollowed-out verses and choruses that musters up enough energy to get the pit shuffling.
