Rachel Chinouriri has unveiled a fresh take on her popular single, 'All I Ever Asked', featuring the talents of New York-born, LA-based artist Sombr. The original track, a shimmering indie-pop gem, resonated with many as an anthem of self-worth, exploring the complexities of a relationship where basic love and respect seem unattainable. This new version promises to breathe new life into an already much-loved song.
Chinouriri expressed her enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, "I have always loved 'All I Ever Asked' and the journey that it’s taken me on. Sombr has added such an amazing light and joy to the song and I’m so unbelievably excited for everyone to hear it. His tone, writing and style has always been so cool and I’m so happy he wanted to be a part of it.” Her excitement is palpable, hinting at a dynamic and uplifting reimagining of the track.
Sombr shared his own experience of discovering the song, recalling, “I was in a cafe on the Lower East Side when I first heard 'All I Ever Asked'. It was like a ray of sunshine, and I loved it so much. Rachel is such an amazingly talented writer and performer, and I was so excited by the opportunity to be a part of this beautiful record. Big props to Rachel on her Brit noms, by the way! Let’s go!" His words paint a picture of instant connection and admiration for Chinouriri's artistry.
This release comes hot on the heels of Chinouriri's double BRIT Award nomination for Artist of the Year and Best New Artist. She is also set to perform an intimate show at London’s OMEARA for BRITs Week For War Child, a testament to her rising star status.
