RACHEL CHINOURIRI I'M NOT PERFECT (BUT I'M TRYING)

Certain to continue on her upward trajectory, 'I'm Not Perfect (But I'm Trying)' is the stirring new single from Rachel Chinouriri. Seesawing synthesizers open the track and anchor the first verse before a propulsive drum beat, reminiscent of Sam Fender's stadium rock, sends the track speeding forward. Uplifting chords change beneath Chinouriri's flawless vocal performance making for an emotive and memorable listen. She explains: "I wanted to write a song about the hesitation before diving into a situation. I was reflecting on the self doubt I have sometimes but also the desire to alway jump straight into things. It’s the realisation and acceptance of being perfectly imperfect. This life is full of motion and keeping up isn’t always easy. But I remind myself to just go for it in order to grow as a human being and experience new and amazing things."
