Last year, Bristol-based singer/songwriter Chikaya slowly burst her way onto the UK scene with an interesting style of music.
A mixture of R&B and synthesizers creates something unique in that listeners empathise with Chikaya’s journey of growth, whilst feeling the sensation of travelling through the stars in outer space.
Songs such as New Wave and Himalayas magnify this ideology and slowly let you into her world.
This, intertwined with Chikaya’s smooth vocal presence contributes towards a relaxing ambience, which adds further to the aura surrounding her music.
Subsequently, Chikaya is starting to attract some attention in the mainstream media after she was included on BBC Music Introducing’s 2020 Ones To Watch list.
Her latest track, Stargazing, is a continuation of that journey. However, this time there is an added emphasis on the elements of discovery as conveyed by the single’s vibrant artwork.
Speaking to RWD Mag’s Denzil Bell, Chikaya states that the song is “about a lost lil’ alien who lands on a new planet, in search of great things and a new life to explore and grow.”
2020 is a year associated with vision, and for Chikaya, her visions are strong and could be the difference in defining her as a standout artist of the future.
You can stream Chikaya’s latest single Stargazing now on Spotify and Apple Music.
