Rachel Chinouriri strips things back on her timely new single, ‘What a Devastating Turn of Events.’
Against a plain dark backdrop, the British singer tells a rather harrowing tale over a slick 90s-style groove, starting off as a typical heartbreak narrative until Chinouriri begins delving into much darker subject matter, including forced pregnancy, loss of bodily autonomy and suicide, a dark reality for many women after the repealing of Roe v. Wade in 2022.
Chinouriri explains the inspiration behind the track (via The Line of Best Fit):
'This song is one of my saddest but proudest achievements. It’s personal and based around a true story. It’s the tragic story of a girl who is a similar age to me. I think with every step of her journey, someone somewhere can understand the feelings she felt to some degree. Whether it’s to do with relationships, friendships, neglect, motherhood, depression, rejection, battling internal hatred or suicidal thoughts … I feel like this is something most people can relate to.'
'The decision to take her own life is something many people have contemplated and her life was almost the perfect storm to create that environment which is heartbreaking. Without the right support or understanding around you, people can feel trapped and it’s sad she ever made this choice. Her story deserves to be told and I hope more people know that this is a feeling that many people have felt and you should always ask for help.'
Yet another sad reminder that we all deserve to live with dignity, to be in control of our own bodies and to have access to lifesaving healthcare and other resources, no matter the circumstances.
Rachel Chinouriri's debut album, What A Devastating Turn Of Events, is out May 3 via Parlophone/Atlas Artists.
