Meeanjin/Brisbane-based soul-pop act CHIRAI is making a real splash with her debut single “Blueberry Skies.” It’s doing massive streaming numbers around the world, buoyed by Apple Music playlisting and some serious momentum on Spotify and TikTok. It also hit number one on the Spotify Viral Chart South Africa and number 23 on Apple Music South Africa.
Take a listen and you’ll soon understand the hype. CHIRAI’s voice is like chocolate, so smooth and silky. And the song is fantastic, with gospel elements and a cool “Chapel of Love” sample elevating its cool neo-soul sound.
“Music is the only way I really understand myself and the world around me,” CHIRAI said. “I hope when you listen, you feel seen, a little less alone, and maybe even grateful to be here too.”
After listening to “Blueberry Skies,” I’m pretty excited to hear more from CHIRAI this year.
