Toronto singer Chxrry22 shares her debut single “The Falls,” out now. Smudging the lines between pop and R&B, she reveals that she’s fully aware of her imperfections, fearlessly admitting, “I’d do it again, ‘cause baby I got problems.” The track highlights vulnerability and tells the story of unapologetic accountability.
Chxrry (pronounced Cherry) was born and raised by Ethiopian immigrants in Scarborough, a suburb of Toronto. Growing up in a Christian household and persuaded to do other things as a kid like gymnastics and modeling, Chxrry always loved to sing but never fully visualized the possibilities ahead of her until she put her music online in 2017. After some traction, she packed all of her things and moved to Atlanta where she began recording. Shortly after, she signed her first major label deal – and the rest was history. Chxrry22’s artistry aims to uplift her community and inspire young Black girls that it is safe and powerful to feel and do what they want. Her ever-evolving sound continues to mature based on her own personal experiences and while “The Falls” is the first of many to come, there will be more big news coming very soon.
