Rachel Chinouriri is back with "Make believe," and it's a stunner. The UK pop riser just took the stage at Olivia Rodrigo's Daisy Chain Fields fest, riding real momentum into her new album I think I spoke too soon, out next month. This is her moment.
We already flagged lead single "One song away from crying," a gem that showed off the raw ache she's been building since her breakout run and tracks like "So my darling." Now "Make believe" doubles down: another portrait of romantic vulnerability, all tender detail and open-hearted writing.
She's been sharpening this craft for years, from early EPs to her 2024 debut What a devastating turn of events. The growth is loud. Chinouriri writes heartbreak like she's handing you a note across a crowded room, and this new belter proves she keeps getting sharper at it.
If you slept on her before, this is your wake-up call. The album is close. The songs are landing.
Rachel Chinouriri is one to watch.
