LISTEN TO “1:5” HERE
(May 16, 2024) – Fierce trailblazing artist CHINCHILLA has released gorgeous new ballad “1:5” (listen here) alongside the announcement of her upcoming EP Flytrap, due to be released June 7th. The new single was produced by CHINCHILLA, written with Jordan Cosmo Lees, and shows the rising artist, renowned for her usual empowering unapologetic sound, in a more sensitive light. “1:5” has arrived in time for CHINCHILLA’s highly anticipated performance at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton tomorrow night on the TGE Beach – The Deep End stage at 8:15pm.
Commenting on the brand new single, CHINCHILLA says: “‘1:5’ is probably the most personal and vulnerable thing I’ve ever put out. It’s about a feeling of imbalance I guess and lack of power. ‘Do you really only love sometimes? At a ratio of 1:5’. It’s withdrawal. The heartbreak and longing of a feeling. The lyrics are straight from a note on my phone from a time when I was journaling about it, it came so quickly. My heart bled into it and I just fell in love with the song. It soothes me – music is therapy.”
“1:5” will feature on Flytrap, CHINCHILLA’s forthcoming EP, with previously released tracks “Cut You Off”, “MF Diamond”, and “Little Girl Gone”. Flytrap is set to showcase CHINCHILLA’s outstanding musical ability and range, from hard hitting anthems like “Cut You Off” and “MF Diamond” to more emotional moments as seen on “1:5”.
Speaking about the upcoming EP, CHINCHILLA says: ““When you hold something tightly, you kill it”. The concept of ‘Flytrap’ came from an analogy my mum speaks about. It’s about letting someone be free and not holding them too tightly, subsequently crushing the thing you loved about them in the first place. A lot of this EP is about the music industry and control. ‘Flytrap’ is about possession. And growing your wings again after they’ve been clipped.”
