Fast-rising alternative indie pop artist, Rachel Chinouriri has released her new single, “Maybe I’m Lonely” today. The intimate, stripped back offering is carried by sparse guitar and hushed vocals has Rachel admits, “maybe I’m falling / for the feeling of falling for you.” Released just ahead of the 2/14 holiday, the new offering is a relatable and empowering anti-Valentine’s Day song.
Of the track, Chinouriri said, “I wrote this from the perspective of not knowing what I want. When you are in a long term relationship and know nothing else, it’s hard navigating the dating world. It’s about how I don’t want a relationship, but struggle to not attach feelings to more casual situations. Do I like you or do I like the idea of you? Am I crushing on you or do I enjoy having companionship? Do I actually like you or do I fear being alone? I hope other people know the feeling because I have struggled with it recently, but I’m getting better.”
After selling out multiple headline shows at London’s Hoxton Hall due to huge demand, Chinouriri announced that she will be supporting Lewis Capaldi on his forthcoming European arena shows.

This run also adds to Chinouriri’s impressive touring history, where she’s hit the U.K. festival circuit and shared stages with the likes of Remi Wolf, Tems, Sam Fender, Kojey Radical, and Bloc Party.
