Chenayder, the 17-year-old singer from Orlando, Fla., shares her new single “Colours” that includes North Carolina’s MAVI.
Her music first caught my consideration after I got here throughout it on TikTok after she posted the unique model of this music — sans the visitor verse — and the UK drum & bass-inspired “For One Final Time.”
She first discovered success when her music “Fall” went viral on TikTok again in 2022. Like most of her music, “Fall,” sounds just like the soundtrack to a dreamscape, with its lush instrumentation and pleasant harmonies. The video she made to accompany it completely matches the “Alice in Wonderland” really feel of the monitor.
Chenayder’s sound is a mixture of hip-hop, R&B, old-school soul, pop — principally, an amalgamation of all issues stunning and wavy. The music is produced by Padass and the video, directed by Jackie Radinsky, is impressed by French new wave cinema. And whereas the model of “Colours” with out MAVI has change into a fan favourite on SoundCloud and YouTube, I’m glad she launched this new model as a result of I didn’t wish to undergo all of the drama of changing hyperlinks to an mp3 as a result of I wished to help. The North Carolina rapper ended up on the monitor by probability as a result of he simply so occurred to be within the studio with Smino and Chenayder on the identical time and every little thing clicked.
Her love of surreal sounds and visuals ought to come as no shock, because the Haitian-American’s favourite artist is Tyler, the Creator, who has commented on her Instagram telling her “love this maintain working.” One other fave of hers is SZA, who additionally confirmed love on social media by reposting her music in her IG Tales. That’s fairly loopy for a excessive schooler who has to typically dip off to the toilet to be able to promote her songs on TikTok.
Chenayder dropped her debut EP Blue Oblivion final Might, so undoubtedly go examine that out after you watch this glorious video.
