RACHEL CHINOURIRI MAMA'S BOY

Rising London name Rachel Chinouriri puts her heart at the forefront of her new single ‘Mama’s Boy’. Opening with a low-slung groove, it’s Chinouriri’s aerial voice that lays out the melody throughout the first minute. These adoring lyrics jump into fully-fledged confession in the robust, horn-driven chorus. Before long you’ll be hooked on that refrain, “Makes me wonder, / How you staying warm at night without your lover, / Are you a mama’s boy?” This song feels huge; it’s refined, witty, and yet feels like it could be an underdog summer anthem. - Hannah Thacker
