Rachel Chinouriri unveils new cut "Ribs"
"Ribs" is premiered as Clara Amfo's Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1.
The release of "Ribs" follows a strong start to 2023 for Rachel Chinouriri, which includes being shortlisted for the BBC’s Sound of 2023, supporting Lewis Capaldi’s on tour after sliding into his DMs post-night out, and the release of her viral single "Maybe I’m Lonely".
I thank him, but I don’t ask about tour because I’m not trying to embarrass myself…

Few month pass, I’m drunk out of my mind in a cab, I’m on Instagram and I see Lewis’ posts about tour and drunk me begins thinking… “what the harm in asking”

Of the song, Rachel Chinouriri explains: “I wrote Ribs when I had a chest infection and a crush on someone and it was annoying me. So I combined my two annoyances and described my liking of someone as a chest infection that was hurting my ribs because I actually had achy ribs. I then went to the pub and had some of the best ribs I’ve eaten from the Staplow Oak Inn and it was quite fun to make. So basically fancying someone is a sickness which you can either cure or it can make you worse - in my case I never recovered.”
Next month Rachel embarks on a run of headline shows across the UK, taking in stops in Glasgow, Birmingham, Leeds and Bristol, before playing a sold out four night residency at London’s Hoxton Hall.
"Ribs" is out now via Parlophone Records.
