Rachel Chinouriri shares acoustic version of "The Hills"

24 November 2023, 13:26 | Written by Tyler Damara Kelly

Alternative indie-pop artist Rachel Chinouriri has shared the acoustic version of her latest single, "The Hills".

The brand new acoustic version of the track comes complete with a stripped back performance video filmed in an East London pub.

“I wrote The Hills about the feeling of not belonging and being out of place. I was in LA having a pretty terrible time. I didn’t feel like I connected with many people musically or in general, and I was stressed out about lots of things in my personal life. I also love being at home, and felt very out of place," she explains.

"After a month in LA, I was having my last session and it was going very bad… I was texting Aaron Shadrow in the session… one of the few people I really connected with creatively, we made a plan to leave and he took me to his house and I just told him how I felt. He just started playing the guitar and drums and I started writing about how I felt and in that moment I realised the UK truly is my home."

"The Hills" is out now. Tickets for Rachel’s headline show at London’s KOKO on 6 March 2024 are close to selling out, following her run of arena shows with Louis Tomlinson. Find out more via rachelchinouriri.com.
