Chrissi – ONE IN FIVE !

“I wrote the first verse of ‘ONE IN FIVE !’ back in 2020. I was 19, just learning about adulthood and depending on myself, it was a scary time for me mentally. I was working with my good friends Freemonk and Billy Ebanks, who created a super safe space for me to give room to these feelings. I sat on that verse for years and never really saw myself releasing or finishing it. Five years later, it feels insane, there’s been so much growth throughout this song, and it feels really powerful to me. There is strength in the harder parts of womanhood. I wrote ‘ONE IN FIVE !’ as a journal entry about the negative thoughts that swarm my head on some days – feelings I know a lot of other women share.”

Chrissi – Lipo

One of the most exciting newcomers to have emerged from the UK R&B and soul scene last year was Essex-born Trinidadian artist Chrissi.

New single ‘Lipo’ marks this rising starlet’s first release of 2022, and serves as an ode to body-positivity, confidence and self love.

“​​I wrote ‘Lipo’ because I was upset with a guy who’s sexualised me and then decided he couldn’t be with me because he didn’t want his friends to know what he’s into. Everyone has to kiss a few frogs I suppose. Made a banger out of it though!”

Since the release of her ‘Back In The Day’ debut EP last year, Chrissi has garnered praise from the likes of BBC Radio 1, Vogue, Clash and GRM Daily to name but a few.

And with a growing fanbase that includes Adele, Joy Crookes and Mahalia, it seems imminent that Chrissi will become one of the UK’s next musical talents to take over the world.

New Music: Chrissi

Refreshingly moving lyricism and stunning vocals take centre stage on ‘Back In The Day’ by Essex-born Trinidadian newcomer Chrissi.

This is a masterfully blended fusion of RnB and soul that is nostalgic and melancholy at it’s core, and ever so beautiful to experience.
