Unboxed Vol. 42: Rachel Chinouriri is Changing The Face of Pop


The British singer talks to BET about how a simple TikTok video transformed her music career, leading her through viral moments and genre barriers to a groundbreaking new album.

Fans might’ve found her through one of her viral songs like “So My Darling (Acoustic),” “All I Ever Asked,” or “The Hills,” but Chinouriri’s honesty and charm kept viewers coming back, and she began to grow a following. And Beyoncé kicked up months of discourse after she released an entire 27-track album to prove a Black woman from Texas is qualified to sing country. Her family moved from Zimbabwe to the UK just before she was born, and she’s inspired by music from all over the world, everything between Coldplay and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Estelle and Sugarbabes to Amy Winhouse, Lily Allen to Rihanna.
