CHITRA SHARES NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO 'LEAVING' + ANNOUNCES DEBUT EP RELEASE DATE
Melbourne's Chitra premiered her brand new single, 'Leaving' on Triple J's Home and Hosed with Declan Byrne last week. Declan had some beautiful observations of the song:
"I find it cruisey and beautiful and relaxing but when you listen to those lyrics, they're personal, they're sometimes heavy. Sort of feels breezy and you listen carefully and you're like Ooh shit, it sounds so gorgeous and beautiful but you listen and you sort of peer a bit deeper and there's real emotion on display here"
Today she shares an accompanying video for 'Leaving' directed by good friend and creative collaborator Nick McKinlay (Julia Jacklin, Stella Donnelly, Teskey Brothers) along with details for the release of her debut EP.
The song's video features Chitra reflecting on projected moments and memories - a beautiful visual for the feverish feelings the song elicits.
Chitra also announced today that she will be releasing her long awaited, self-titled, debut EP on 28th February 2020. Chitra's EP squeezes the juice out of country, indie-rock and pop and turns it into a zesty new taste of woozy intimacy. Covering deeply complex narratives of unspoken thoughts, self preservation and figuring-it-all-out, Chitra catches the listener off guard. Though things sound breezy, the deeper observations on the EP are astute and rich.
