I legit squealed when saw this come up! Chris loves you! We all do! Am completely loving your success! For a girl stuck at home with Lyme Disease, like Mr Ren, you are both brightening up my days SO much! No stopping you now! 🎉
@Chinchella - You’re the most talented singer & artist I’ve seen in decades. More importantly you’re showing young girls and women how to kick ass and take names later! I believe Adele, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, etc… should all slide over and save a seat for you! Like I said - you’re a motherfuckin’ Geeeeee…💪🤘🎶😎♥️
A lovely conversation! I hope to hear more live music from you. You are a phenomenal singer, no questions about that, but comparing studio recordings to the live videos on RUclips (with Ren or just yours), there is something magical in the live ones. I think Chris has it when he talks about inhabiting a character. It comes through much stronger in the live versions. And like I said, magical! Thank you for taking the time to do this! Ps. This is coming from a metalhead ;) Great music and great art is not limited by genres ;)
I contacted Chinchilla to ask for a collab for my electronica music. I asked thinking nah she won't get back to me. She did infact get back to me she said it wasn't for her but I was blown away that she took the time to listen and actually get back to me. She will forever have my respect. She had no obligation to reply or even entertain the prospect. Very gracious and genuine person.
I love her and bc of Ren she's blowing up too, old songs led to new ones and she already has a lot more listeners and followers on Spotify, Ren only has, almost 5000, she over 2 million!! She'll get there, how could she not?
I am watching this while her new release "Little Girl Gone" is on the very top of the US itunes charts. Outstanding work! You go girl! Congratulations!
Both Chinchilla and Ren seem to place performance first, and singing second. And both are bloody brilliant singers, so we all get to enjoy the magic. :)
They are not only brilliant singers(Ren is also a great guitarist), they are brilliant songwriters and producers too. Two complete artist who soon will be big world wide i hope..........Btw : I have registered that CNN try everyting they can to stop Ren conquer the world with their statement bullshit about his brilliant song "Hi Ren" !!
There is such a beautiful connection between Ren and Chinchilla. When they perform together, the rest of us soon realise we’re in the presence of two very special people. As individual artists, they’re tapping into something beyond what other artists have been doing and we can’t get enough of it. ❤️
It’s wild to hear Chinchilla talk about how she used to be very shy when everything about her music and style exudes confidence and fierceness. She’s an untapped wellspring of talent and star power and I can’t wait for her to rise to the top
That's her stage persona, I've read somewhere that's also the reason for the big hats and her claws, all part of the persona that allows her to be that confident badass singer she is.
What a beautiful breath of fresh air Chinchilla is. This lady is headed for stardom I guarantee it. Her attitude and talent is top level and people will gravitate towards her passion and golden voice. ✨️
She seems to be a great role model for my 3 daughters, this is desperately needed in the music industry. I hope she is able to stay fully independent and continue to kick over all the boxes
I love the community that has sprung up around Ren. I discovered both of you through him, and now have so much to explore and enjoy because of it. Chinchilla seems as lovely as she is talented, and it's awesome to see a woman like her making a dent in an industry that doesn't let enough artists of her calibre through these days. She's so refreshing.
I'm amazed that I continue being surprised by just how absolutely genuine and fresh Chinchilla is as a person. I absolutely adore her already, yet each new tidbit of insight I gleen from her, from her music, community posts, shorts and now, this lovely interview, endears her to me more and more. Thank you very much for this interview, Chris! Chinchilla is what I dared to wish for: Refreshing, unique, endlessly talented artist, but most importantly it seems, a truly gorgeous person as well. I smile for her as I envision the success and happiness this beautiful young Lady will be seeing in her future! ❤✌️
CHINCHILLA's performance of everything is so good, but "Fingers" is just EXCEPTIONAL, and I have been binging reactions to it ever since I heard it. Yours is one of the only ones that really pulls it apart and highlights all the awesome things she does with her voice (and everything else, really). I can't explain how much I love to see this video as a follow-up!
Great watch Chris. The UK independent music scene seems to be doing things at the moment with Chinchilla and Ren just being two examples. If we can be proud of one thing in the UK over recent decades is it's contribution to music. Hopefully Chinchilla is going to go far.
Girls are told from day one more what we can't and shouldn't do it is always wonderful when someone voices the inner strength. Chinchilla does it so stunningly and beautifully.
What a lovely interview! I only know Chinchilla from her incredible performances so this was great to not only find out more about her beginnings, inspiration etc but also to get to "know" the girl behind the Voice. Thank you for giving both her and us this opportunity to get to know her and asking such great questions. Look forward to watching your reaction to Fingers live - I always enjoy watching your excited eargasms 😆
I am currently taking the long journey of learning how to play guitar as well as hone in my singing skills. I hope that I can eventually build my skills up to be like Chinchilla and Ren. To perform for and connect with other people is what I dream of. Spread love, kindness, caring, and understanding. Through these we can make the world a better place for all
Fantastic interview. So nice to hear from an artist who has studied and experienced the arts rather than just want to be the next product the industry kicked out.
Chris, a heartfelt thank you for doing this interview. I really like Chinchilla, through the Ren connection. She is totally a force on her own. A talented and amazing singer in her own right. I'm a serious fan of bothe Chinchilla and Ren. I know I will see many more wonderful things from her. I appreciate seeing her as her. A real and interesting person.
Chinchilla, that line telling this person to keep their keys in their fingers like you have to is absolutely my favorite line! It makes that live version that much better, which is saying a lot. You're amazing.
Thank you for interviewing Chinchilla, she is just as amazing as Ren ..and I have a feeling Ren and chinchilla interviews are gonna be hard to get from here on out
@@chrisliepe Had to go love my grands, I’m back to watch the last 40 min. Chinchilla is so cool , insanely talented and beautiful inside and out. You look like you’re having fun and doing a great interview!! Thank you Chris✨💕
I adore Chinchilla and her natural openness, just being her, unpretentious. And I also like your interview style, which really is just you being curious, engaged, amazed and in awe of talent ... true love to music. Thank you.
I loved Little Girl Gone in addition to everything I have heard from Chinchilla, started with collaborations with Ren. I am a 52 year old woman living in rural Texas, not really been fond of many women artists that have come out in the last 20 years with the exception of in This Moment and Otep untill now from Chinchilla. She is an empowering force for women that
2mho Chinchilla & Ren besides their chemistry represent artists of a new era... funnywise close to the spirit of musicians of the 60ies & 70ies: inventing a new style and being very close to their audience... multimedia experts from the scratch and dealing with topics of vulnerability where they draw their strengths from... so their success comes from their followers and not from an artificial concept of a major label... 🤟
Love that Chinchilla is getting her time in the spotlight .. I wish all the very best for both Chinchilla & Ren .. and hopefully more music of them together .. and maybe even a joint tour ..
I'm actually surprised. Ren and Chinchilla are so in-tune to what each other are doing in those videos that I just assumed that they knew each other well and had performed together for a long time. What a great interview!
It's so wild; she's on my mind. When I wake up in the morning, I hear fingers in my mind. And sometimes during the day too. Her voice is insane. I'm practicing the song with my coach, and it's so much fun because I love her whole performance.
I knew I liked Chinchilla for some reason! The fact that she listened to Christina Aguilera (who is one of my top 3 vocalists) just sealed the love 💗💗💗
Was looking for a decent conversation to watch so was very pleased when I came across this gem! Of course Chinchilla finds time to make her own hats on top of being such a wonderful singer and performer 😍 fashion goals for me (singing is defo not an option unfortunately! 😂) all the love Chinchilla, wishing you every success xxx
What a fantastic interview!! You are a really, really good interviewer if you ever think of starting an interview channel I’d sub straight away. Great questions, great engagement and just the right amount of letting the interviewee talk and jumping in to help nudge along their thought process. Also what a brilliant woman Chinchilla is, very open and down to earth. Loved every second of it. Thank you very much
What a fantastic interview. I was already in love with her and her voice and her personnity. This was just amazing and beautiful. Chinchilla you are wonderful.
She is so great ❤, I can understand what she means about being more terrified when busking vs being on stage in an arena. When I used to sing on stage it always felt like it was just me and the band, between the lights being in your face I couldn't usually even see the crowd. But being on the street or even in really small clubs I always got more nervous because I was always more aware of the audience, it was so much more intimate which always made me feel 100 times more self conscious.
Isn't it refreshing to see an interviewer that speaks the language and understands the processes involved? Fascinating to watch. Genuine and honest from both Chris and Chinchilla. A great watch.
Spontaneity is what made Whitney Houston's live performances so great, so I think Chinchilla just needs to take that liberty when she does a big show when she can ♥
I identify with Chinchilla being more uncomfortable busking at first. I do community theater (a full house is 250 people, lol), but I've also done storytelling, where I remain stationary and groups of up to 20 (but sometimes as few as 2) come to hear my story. I'll do it 10-15 times per night and the fewer people there are, the harder it is. The more personal it is. It's like ... with 250 people - not a stadium - there are bound to be a few people who don't care for what you put on stage. It just seems so much more hurtful when you did a "performance" for 2 people, you looked them in the eyes for 7-10 minutes and they walk away not enjoying your offering. Much as Chinchilla stated, two different skillsets. Acting and storytelling are two different things. I don't sing, but I get it! :)
Such a fantastic interview! Love Chinchilla's humility and authenticity, the source of her beauty! and Chris! such natural, beautiful, and intelligent questions! just wonderful, thank you!
Thanks to Chinchilla for doing this interview with you. She was so lovely. I was blown away to learn that not only is she an amazing singer and performer but also a fashion designer! Chinchilla. You should put out a line of your hats. They ate fantastic!
So happy to see good things happening for good people who really appreciate them. Chinchilla seems really down to earth and humble while being a vocal beast and an outstanding performer.
I have heard someone say that due to technologies ability to auto tune and deepfake and otherwise alter reality that authenticity will be the currency of the 21st century. I think the imperfections of the live performances are why people gravitate to them so much. We know that its real, its raw and it was made with emotion. If you get stirred to anger or sadness in a conversation your tone changes, why wouldn't music do the same? Produced music, while still entertaining, tends to be soulless. Ren and Chinchilla are 100% soul music, that's why I love it.
I really enjoyed this interview. Adding an observation of mine from watching both Chinchilla and Ren, they seem to approach delivering songs in a similar way. There’s a mix of genres sometimes that very much creates an operatic or stage play type of performance that creates an intimacy with the audience that connects. I don’t know, just a thought.
I think it’s the idea of soul mates vs sole mates. Not twin flame, only holding up an ember in the darkness. Embracing truth is hard, but it reveals the greater truth of all of humanity.
A wonderful talent and a wonderful human. Chinchilla seems fine too. 😉 But seriously, I really enjoyed that. Such a great discussion ... thanks so much! And congrats Chinchilla on the huge success of Little Girl Gone (at least, judging by the first few hours!) Cannot wait to hear more. Thank you!
I love the "wrong" notes, I want to hear the nuances in people's voices, we connect to them more then some tinny sounding auto-tuned pop star. I'm absolutely loving Chinchilla's stuff, and Ren as well, of course. I don't think I've listened to the radio in some time, I don't need too when I can find these real artists on RUclips and other platforms around the internet that haven't been so molded into their cookie cutter molds of what some old guy in a VIP or Marketing role thinks I want to hear.
I first found raw, emotionally charged, music in highschool. Damien Rice's Volcanos changed my whole damn life! I've been obsessed ever since. Swell Season/The Frames, Jeff Buckley, CCR, Neil Young, Janice Joplin, The Civil Wars, Shawn James, and now Chinchilla and Ren. The emotion and stories are so much better than what the "perfection trap" could ever offer the world. Thank you for this video, this channel, and being a vocal coach that respects raw performance over perfection.
The Civil Wars are such an odd one. Their Laundry sessions acoustic Billy Jean is mind-blowingly good, like they have the most amazing chemistry together, but I heard they hated each other. Absolutely fooled me.
It is nice to see Music changing from mainstream crap to Performance ART. Chinchilla is fantastic, she is so talented. Her voice is beyond beautiful. Her costumes are delightful, some or all made by her. I am over 70 YO and I just love her talent. Talent like we used to see in the 60/70 era. Real musicians making a difference by being unique as well as having loads of talent. She does not require a bunch of half nude girls dancing around her. She stands alone and you cannot take your eyes off her, listening to take in every little nuance of her voice. Bravo from 🇨🇦
So excited to see more from artists like CHINCHILLA. And im excited to see how many more artists, new and old, will be inspired to truly let go and just give into the music and emotion itself. Edit: Also unrelated now that i know it was Christina that helped her find her voice, i would Kill to hear Chinchilla cover a Christina song
Chinchilla is an amazing woman! She is beautiful, artistic, articulate, passionate, daring, a fantastic song writer and singer and the best female artist, in my opinion! She deserves recognition for her hard work and I love her new release! That was a great interview and through you, I got to see more of her beautiful spirit! Thank you for the great questions you came up with❤😊
Thanks for doing this. It’s great to get some insight into Chinchilla the person and how that influences Chinchilla the performer. I wish her so much luck with the new material. Little Girl Gone is currently at number one on the iTunes download chart.
Stay humble and real. I loved how you and Ren put raw emotion and spontaneity into your performance. THAT is whats missing these days. You mentined how you liked busking cause things werent "prefabricated ". People can really feel that pre-fab as fake and boring. Being yourself and immerse yourself in the moment will always capture those special moments. And your audience will LOVE being a part of that. Love what your doing!
Fantastic interview Chris. I just love Chinchilla, her voice and her artistic creativity. She is a breath of fresh air. I hope that she gets all the recognition she deserves. Thanks Chris and big love to @CHINCHILLA 😍
I've been watching this over a few days and its so lovely. But Ive just got to the bit about Chinchillas clothes/makeup etc and I just love how she explains it (and steps in to make the point about it not being an alter ego strongly). I grew up somewhat shy but then also through punk rock and I totally empathise. My mohawk and my battle jacket (the name for patched leather/denim jackets in punk/metal says a lot) did just bring out the strongest, fiercest side of myself and gave me permission to be bigger, more powerful etc. And I want to add that I say that as a guy... For women it feels even more important to find whatever it is thst gives you permission to step into your power. Absolute solidarity to Chinchilla and all women and anyone else who faces and fights being held back. ✊
Thank you Chris for bringing Chinchilla on your show so we could all get a chance to get to know her a little like bit through your interview. You asked so many great questions! What a great opportunity for you to talk to her after watching her in chalk outlines which amazing. Good job! Thank you so much ! Renee Gentry
THANK YOOUUU FOR HAVING ME CHRIS! Was so lovely to have a big old chat ☕️
You’re precious! ❤
I legit squealed when saw this come up! Chris loves you! We all do! Am completely loving your success! For a girl stuck at home with Lyme Disease, like Mr Ren, you are both brightening up my days SO much! No stopping you now! 🎉
@Chinchella - You’re the most talented singer & artist I’ve seen in decades. More importantly you’re showing young girls and women how to kick ass and take names later!
I believe Adele, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, etc… should all slide over and save a seat for you!
Like I said - you’re a motherfuckin’ Geeeeee…💪🤘🎶😎♥️
New song is so good
A lovely conversation! I hope to hear more live music from you. You are a phenomenal singer, no questions about that, but comparing studio recordings to the live videos on RUclips (with Ren or just yours), there is something magical in the live ones. I think Chris has it when he talks about inhabiting a character. It comes through much stronger in the live versions. And like I said, magical! Thank you for taking the time to do this!
Ps. This is coming from a metalhead ;) Great music and great art is not limited by genres ;)
I contacted Chinchilla to ask for a collab for my electronica music. I asked thinking nah she won't get back to me. She did infact get back to me she said it wasn't for her but I was blown away that she took the time to listen and actually get back to me. She will forever have my respect. She had no obligation to reply or even entertain the prospect. Very gracious and genuine person.
I think she respects independent artists being one herself and knows what it's like to start a music career on one's own.
I love her and bc of Ren she's blowing up too, old songs led to new ones and she already has a lot more listeners and followers on Spotify, Ren only has, almost 5000, she over 2 million!! She'll get there, how could she not?
Yes they are great together and separate!!!!
You never know unless you ask.
Ren and Chinchilla dueting together is hands down the best duet that has ever been recorded.
I am watching this while her new release "Little Girl Gone" is on the very top of the US itunes charts. Outstanding work! You go girl! Congratulations!
YESSSS
❣️🌹🔥❣️
❤
Wtf really ??? Wow that's amazing so glad shes finally blowing up !
Chinchilla, you are captivating and beautiful!!! ❤
Both Chinchilla and Ren seem to place performance first, and singing second. And both are bloody brilliant singers, so we all get to enjoy the magic. :)
They are not only brilliant singers(Ren is also a great guitarist), they are brilliant songwriters and producers too. Two complete artist who soon will be big world wide i hope..........Btw : I have registered that CNN try everyting they can to stop Ren conquer the world with their statement bullshit about his brilliant song "Hi Ren" !!
There is such a beautiful connection between Ren and Chinchilla. When they perform together, the rest of us soon realise we’re in the presence of two very special people. As individual artists, they’re tapping into something beyond what other artists have been doing and we can’t get enough of it. ❤️
Totally agree...ever since I came across Chalk outlines i was an Instant fan. Such beautiful works. Amazing stories these 2 have. Love you both.
They become symbiotic ❤
It’s wild to hear Chinchilla talk about how she used to be very shy when everything about her music and style exudes confidence and fierceness. She’s an untapped wellspring of talent and star power and I can’t wait for her to rise to the top
There's a lot of performers who are introverted normally but when they perform, they're inhabiting a character so the shy side isn't present.
Shows too she might also be cut out for acting.
That's her stage persona, I've read somewhere that's also the reason for the big hats and her claws, all part of the persona that allows her to be that confident badass singer she is.
What a beautiful breath of fresh air Chinchilla is. This lady is headed for stardom I guarantee it. Her attitude and talent is top level and people will gravitate towards her passion and golden voice. ✨️
I just heard her new song 🎵 absolutely a banger 💥💥💥
Not only her attitude or talent. She has this whole vibe about her that's so real and not manufactured.
She seems to be a great role model for my 3 daughters, this is desperately needed in the music industry. I hope she is able to stay fully independent and continue to kick over all the boxes
not to mention she could single handily bring top hats back and i'm all for that!
@@hughneutron5303 ooh good point… now that I’m bald … hats are my thing, I need her to make me a dope hat that goes w my beard lol
@@hughneutron5303
At 6'4" that's my worst nightmare! 😂

Ren & Chinchilla are magic together, the syncopation comes from the gut. They both were emotionally connected to the music and subject.
I love the community that has sprung up around Ren. I discovered both of you through him, and now have so much to explore and enjoy because of it. Chinchilla seems as lovely as she is talented, and it's awesome to see a woman like her making a dent in an industry that doesn't let enough artists of her calibre through these days.

15 minutes in and just had to say thank you so much for this interview! She’s amazing
What an absoulte legend. And the new song just slaps like nothing else
Such a bad ass comment 👍👍
Amen!
CHINCHILLA's performance of everything is so good, but "Fingers" is just EXCEPTIONAL, and I have been binging reactions to it ever since I heard it. Yours is one of the only ones that really pulls it apart and highlights all the awesome things she does with her voice (and everything else, really). I can't explain how much I love to see this video as a follow-up!
Great watch Chris. The UK independent music scene seems to be doing things at the moment with Chinchilla and Ren just being two examples. If we can be proud of one thing in the UK over recent decades is it's contribution to music. Hopefully Chinchilla is going to go far.
So happy to see her succeeding. She is an amazing talent.
❤️💯❤️
Girls are told from day one more what we can't and shouldn't do it is always wonderful when someone voices the inner strength. Chinchilla does it so stunningly and beautifully.
What a lovely interview! I only know Chinchilla from her incredible performances so this was great to not only find out more about her beginnings, inspiration etc but also to get to "know" the girl behind the Voice. Thank you for giving both her and us this opportunity to get to know her and asking such great questions. Look forward to watching your reaction to Fingers live - I always enjoy watching your excited eargasms 😆
Everyone would be so lucky to have someone like Chinchilla in their lives. Her soul feels so pure.
Great to see Chinchilla getting her flowers. She deserves them all and then some.
I am currently taking the long journey of learning how to play guitar as well as hone in my singing skills. I hope that I can eventually build my skills up to be like Chinchilla and Ren. To perform for and connect with other people is what I dream of. Spread love, kindness, caring, and understanding. Through these we can make the world a better place for all
Fantastic interview. So nice to hear from an artist who has studied and experienced the arts rather than just want to be the next product the industry kicked out.
Organic. The word for the natural chemistry y'all have is called organic. The way in which you guys create together is organic.
It makes complete sense that her and Ren focus on emotion when singing together and boy does it work💕😱💕🦇
Chris, a heartfelt thank you for doing this interview. I really like Chinchilla, through the Ren connection. She is totally a force on her own. A talented and amazing singer in her own right. I'm a serious fan of bothe Chinchilla and Ren. I know I will see many more wonderful things from her. I appreciate seeing her as her. A real and interesting person.

Huge thanks to Chris and Chinchilla for this amazing interview.🙌🙌🔥
Thank you for interviewing Chinchilla, she is just as amazing as Ren ..and I have a feeling Ren and chinchilla interviews are gonna be hard to get from here on out
Her voice with Rens voice reached my soul.
OMG what a wonderful discussion. Chinchilla is as beautiful inside as outside.
Loved this!
I’m 5 minutes in and dying with happiness. thank you Chris and Chinchilla.. I I’m sure I’ll be back for more comments 💕
Thanks for watching!!

The major thing I take from this interview is that Daisy is such an articulate and intelligent girl!
I'm actually surprised. Ren and Chinchilla are so in-tune to what each other are doing in those videos that I just assumed that they knew each other well and had performed together for a long time. What a great interview!
Me too!!
OMG am 63 and love chinchilla and Ren they are my favourite artist ever ❤❤
I absolutely love her. Her and Ren are magic together and I am thrilled for them both!
The sky's the limit. Thanks for shedding light on a wonderful independent artist. LOVE CHINCHILLA!!!! 🥰😍🤩

Her voice is insane. I'm practicing the song with my coach, and it's so much fun because I love her whole performance.

I see hats being back in fashion in 2023. 😉
Chinchilla is absolutely adorable.☮️🇬🇧
Great interview!! Props to Chinchilla chatting to you. 2023 for music looks so good. Some great artists happening and we're witnessing their journey.
this girl is absolutely awsome, she is an amazing artist and also a really lovely person. She deserves the biggest success! Loved this interview ❤❤❤
I think you've just made a shit load of other reaction youtubers very jealous, cracking natural interview. 👍👏🍻🏴

So friggin excited for this and then Ren on Justin Hawkins. These two giving me hope for popular music!
Isn't it refreshing to see an interviewer that speaks the language and understands the processes involved? Fascinating to watch. Genuine and honest from both Chris and Chinchilla. A great watch.
Thank you Chinchilla and Chris for doing this great interview, I enjoyed every minute of it! Can't wait for Chris' reaction to Little Girl Gone...
Is it just me? Is she pretty much the most adorable human ever?
Chris - the “homemade hats” are out of this world. Beautiful. What a. Skilled woman
Agreed 💯❤️
Fingers LIVE has been playing in my head all day because I watched about 3 reactions to it before work this morning.
Great Interview! ❤
So very interesting to learn about Chinchilla and also to watch Chinchilla learn from your own insights. Wonderful!
Awesome 😮 this is great. I think Chinchilla and Ren make each other better. It's a synchronicity! They are unabashed.
Great interview and how nice is chinchilla,when u said nice things you can see her face light up and how much it means to her
Spontaneity is what made Whitney Houston's live performances so great, so I think Chinchilla just needs to take that liberty when she does a big show when she can ♥
I would love to see you interview Ren! Great job
me too :)
Me 3! Sort it ahhht Ren ❤

Much as Chinchilla stated, two different skillsets. Acting and storytelling are two different things. I don't sing, but I get it! :)
Such a fantastic interview! Love Chinchilla's humility and authenticity, the source of her beauty! and Chris! such natural, beautiful, and intelligent questions! just wonderful, thank you!
Thanks to Chinchilla for doing this interview with you. She was so lovely.
I was blown away to learn that not only is she an amazing singer and performer but also a fashion designer!
Chinchilla. You should put out a line of your hats. They ate fantastic!
Such a good interview. I found Chinchilla and via Ren as well. I love her so much and was super happy to get to know her a little more.
So happy to see good things happening for good people who really appreciate them. Chinchilla seems really down to earth and humble while being a vocal beast and an outstanding performer.
That was a great interview Chris. She's an amazing talent. I cannot wait to hear and see what's to come. Thank you to both of you! ❤❤
I have heard someone say that due to technologies ability to auto tune and deepfake and otherwise alter reality that authenticity will be the currency of the 21st century. I think the imperfections of the live performances are why people gravitate to them so much. We know that its real, its raw and it was made with emotion. If you get stirred to anger or sadness in a conversation your tone changes, why wouldn't music do the same? Produced music, while still entertaining, tends to be soulless. Ren and Chinchilla are 100% soul music, that's why I love it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is such a great interview and such a joy to hear Chinchilla and find out more about her. She's fantastic.
Oh my. I just adore her. To see the human behind the genius…she is top tier.
Let the journey continue. I am along for this spiritual ride.
I really enjoyed this interview. Adding an observation of mine from watching both Chinchilla and Ren, they seem to approach delivering songs in a similar way. There’s a mix of genres sometimes that very much creates an operatic or stage play type of performance that creates an intimacy with the audience that connects. I don’t know, just a thought.
I think it’s the idea of soul mates vs sole mates. Not twin flame, only holding up an ember in the darkness. Embracing truth is hard, but it reveals the greater truth of all of humanity.
A wonderful talent and a wonderful human. Chinchilla seems fine too. 😉
But seriously, I really enjoyed that. Such a great discussion ... thanks so much! And congrats Chinchilla on the huge success of Little Girl Gone (at least, judging by the first few hours!) Cannot wait to hear more. Thank you!
Congratulations for this beautiful interview! ❤
You are the most talented artist I've seen in years and years, and I'm 55 thankyou soooo much 👍👏👏👏 love your singing
This was so fantastic. Love to see she's going places.
I love the "wrong" notes, I want to hear the nuances in people's voices, we connect to them more then some tinny sounding auto-tuned pop star. I'm absolutely loving Chinchilla's stuff, and Ren as well, of course. I don't think I've listened to the radio in some time, I don't need too when I can find these real artists on RUclips and other platforms around the internet that haven't been so molded into their cookie cutter molds of what some old guy in a VIP or Marketing role thinks I want to hear.
I first found raw, emotionally charged, music in highschool. Damien Rice's Volcanos changed my whole damn life! I've been obsessed ever since. Swell Season/The Frames, Jeff Buckley, CCR, Neil Young, Janice Joplin, The Civil Wars, Shawn James, and now Chinchilla and Ren. The emotion and stories are so much better than what the "perfection trap" could ever offer the world. Thank you for this video, this channel, and being a vocal coach that respects raw performance over perfection.
The Civil Wars are such an odd one. Their Laundry sessions acoustic Billy Jean is mind-blowingly good, like they have the most amazing chemistry together, but I heard they hated each other. Absolutely fooled me.
For anyone interested, the video I referenced: ruclips.net/video/441mR2zsQbg/видео.html
Fantastic interview!!! Chinchilla is an amazing artist! Wish her all the success!!!
I love this Chris, this interview feels like it was inspired by the experiences you had with her music. There is some special sauce.
It is nice to see Music changing from mainstream crap to Performance ART. Chinchilla is fantastic, she is so talented. Her voice is beyond beautiful. Her costumes are delightful, some or all made by her. I am over 70 YO and I just love her talent. Talent like we used to see in the 60/70 era. Real musicians making a difference by being unique as well as having loads of talent. She does not require a bunch of half nude girls dancing around her. She stands alone and you cannot take your eyes off her, listening to take in every little nuance of her voice. Bravo from 🇨🇦
So excited to see more from artists like CHINCHILLA. And im excited to see how many more artists, new and old, will be inspired to truly let go and just give into the music and emotion itself.
Edit: Also unrelated now that i know it was Christina that helped her find her voice, i would Kill to hear Chinchilla cover a Christina song
Chinchilla is an amazing woman! She is beautiful, artistic, articulate, passionate, daring, a fantastic song writer and singer and the best female artist, in my opinion! She deserves recognition for her hard work and I love her new release! That was a great interview and through you, I got to see more of her beautiful spirit! Thank you for the great questions you came up with❤😊
Thanks for doing this. It’s great to get some insight into Chinchilla the person and how that influences Chinchilla the performer. I wish her so much luck with the new material. Little Girl Gone is currently at number one on the iTunes download chart.
Great interview! Loved learning more about Chinchilla ... such a talent!
Stay humble and real. I loved how you and Ren put raw emotion and spontaneity into your performance. THAT is whats missing these days. You mentined how you liked busking cause things werent "prefabricated ". People can really feel that pre-fab as fake and boring. Being yourself and immerse yourself in the moment will always capture those special moments. And your audience will LOVE being a part of that.
Love what your doing!
What a lovely down to earth lovely women ..great to watch.
Chinchilla is absolutely gorgeous
Fantastic interview Chris. I just love Chinchilla, her voice and her artistic creativity. She is a breath of fresh air. I hope that she gets all the recognition she deserves. Thanks Chris and big love to @CHINCHILLA 😍
I've been watching this over a few days and its so lovely. But Ive just got to the bit about Chinchillas clothes/makeup etc and I just love how she explains it (and steps in to make the point about it not being an alter ego strongly). I grew up somewhat shy but then also through punk rock and I totally empathise. My mohawk and my battle jacket (the name for patched leather/denim jackets in punk/metal says a lot) did just bring out the strongest, fiercest side of myself and gave me permission to be bigger, more powerful etc. And I want to add that I say that as a guy... For women it feels even more important to find whatever it is thst gives you permission to step into your power. Absolute solidarity to Chinchilla and all women and anyone else who faces and fights being held back. ✊
Thank you so much for this long-form piece. I really felt I was able to get to know Chinchilla on a new level as an artist. Whole new appreciation!
Thank you Chris for bringing Chinchilla on your show so we could all get a chance to get to know her a little like bit through your interview. You asked so many great questions! What a great opportunity for you to talk to her after watching her in chalk outlines which amazing. Good job! Thank you so much ! Renee Gentry
She is a very classy and humble person. I love her voice. Good interview Chris.
