Thoughts: Last here in 2022. Real name is Claire Chicha - I feel like Chicha is a pretty fun band name. She left college to become an assistant tour manager for someone called Gus Dapperton, but then left that to start doing her own thing. One article I read makes it sound like she works a dispensary in L.A. during the day and then goes home to work up new tracks. It kind of has an Olivia Rodrigo vibe to some of the top tracks. I'll give you one single right now to prove that point, and this one includes our buddy Gus on it as well. "Velcro" with 6.5 million streams.
Hear that light, confessional singing thing, with the gently rockin' guitar bit building up on the side? Is she trying to sing along to her song? If so, then she needs some lip synch practice. Oh, now she has it down! She practiced it! The chorus is fun - I like the brawnier bit there. Dig it.
Zero albums. Two EPs and a handful of singles. Velcro up there is from the EP named Bonnie, released in 2021. Her most recent EP's top single, "Splinter," also has that lite rock Rodrigo vibe. I like it too. But her top track is a 2020 single called "Cotton Candy," with 24.9 million streams.
Nah, much less into the toy ukulele singing in the bedroom vibe. Give me the tracks with the electric guitar and a stronger voice. Which is maybe a problem. Her most recent three songs have a more bedroom pop/Billie Eilish singing torchy ballads type thing ("Hold Me" for sure, but also "Angie" and "Assis"), which I don't want. Go back to the rockin' stuff, brah! Probably won't do this one, but not just eliminating it outright like I would many of the bedroom pop type things...
