Chandra has arrived, and she’s bringing light with her. The rising R&B artist’s new single, “The Sun”, is a mesmerising blend of soulful melodies, poetic lyricism and dreamy production. As the first taste of her upcoming EP, this track sets the stage for an artist who’s not just here to sing – she’s here to make you feel.
From the opening lines, “One step at a time / I’m calming down when I breathe”, Chandra pulls us into a moment of stillness, encouraging listeners to slow down and be present. The lyrics navigate self-reflection, emotional clarity and connection, wrapped in lush harmonies that feel both intimate and expansive. The chorus, “Take me where I feel calm / And you pull me right under the sun”, perfectly encapsulates the track’s essence – a warm embrace of vulnerability and understanding.
Sonically, “The Sun” is a delicate balance of rich, honeyed vocals over ethereal production. The instrumentation is layered but never overwhelming, creating a floating sensation that complements Chandra’s storytelling. There’s a subtle but undeniable pull in her voice, like waves meeting the shore – gentle yet powerful.
What makes “The Sun” stand out is its ability to be both deeply personal and universally resonant. Whether you’re healing from past wounds, embracing new love or simply basking in a quiet moment, Chandra’s voice serves as a guiding light. And with another single on the way in March, followed by her full project in April, it’s clear she’s just getting started.
