Newcomer chiika comes through with her brand-new single ‘Poseidon’ – a follow up to her 2021 debut EP ‘Unlearning’ which nods to her Indian heritage whilst incorporating fiery beats and an unequivocally British vocal delivery.
On Poseidon, chiika delivers a sweet vocal performance packed with melodies and matched with a backdrop of warming guitar riffs drenched in alt-pop and Trap beats. Delving deep into relatable themes of relationships using the ocean as a metaphor, chiika’s witty lyricism and catchy hooks are making her one to keep on your radar.
Discussing the new track, chiika reveals: “It’s a song about the summer that I wanted to have this year, but that Covid scuppered – this ideal of being able to almost recklessly throw yourself into love because you have enough self-worth and self-love to understand how valuable you are and understand why people would love you back, and because of this being able to love someone with all your heart and ‘dive in’ to it. It’s likening someone to a deity whilst acknowledging yourself as something divine, too, and it’s a song that’s a lot of fun to listen to and sing along with!”
