Rachel Chinouriri Is ‘One Song Away From Crying’ and Just Weeks Away From Her New Album

A good outfit and glam combo isn't enough to save Rachel Chinouriri from an existential downward spiral at the club on her latest single, "One Song Away From Crying." "She's never looked better and she's never felt worse," the British singer and songwriter sings on the record, which offers the first glimpse into her upcoming second studio album, I Think I Spoke Too Soon , out Oct. 16.

"'One song away from crying' is about the precipice of a night out where you know you need to leave and have to make a decision," Chinouriri shared in a statement. "It's a deeper decision because it's less about the night itself but more about a reflection of a deeper internal conflict with your self value that you haven't looked at yet."

Towards the end of 2024, Chinouriri told Rolling Stone she would be taking a different approach to her music than the emotional excavation on What a Devastating Turn of Events . "This is a world that I've now made, which I can step into when I need to and grab the stories that I need," she said. "Or maybe I'm creating a new world where I write from a happy place and teach myself to write from a place of healing versus a place of trauma."
