In celebration of National Sibling Day on 10th April, eclectic art-pop artist Ch’Lu returns with the release of her captivating new single Sister I’ll Be There, out now.
Written as an ode to her sister during lockdown, Sister I’ll Be There allowed Ch’Lu to feel connected to her younger sibling no matter how far apart they were physically from each other. Ch’Lu soon realised that this song was an important reminder for all sisters; all women all over the world and throughout time. “It became a song to inspire sisterhood, solidarity, protection and connection, awakening the feminine aspect in every human being,” Ch’Lu explains, “drawing us forever closer and becoming part of one another”. Ch’Lu uses her signature fusion of ethereal harmonies, classical guitar arpeggiation, transformational field recording and Zeitgeist beats, creating something truly bewitching as a result.
Ch’Lu – aka Camilla Mathias – trained as a classical guitarist, singer and actress and has been picking up languages since she learned to speak. She is a polyglot polymath, driven to expand consciousness through creativity and performance. Career highlights include playing an intimate East London gig hosted by BBC 6music’s Chris Hawkins, recording with film composer Yann McCullough (Spectre:Bond, Grand Budapest Hotel), contributing guitar to an episode of Channel Four’s award-winning Unreported Worldseries, and composing and performing her OFFIE-nominated music in the latest London stage adaptation of Lorca’s Blood Wedding directed by George Richmond-Scott (Everyone’s Talking About Jamie).
Ch’Lu’s self-produced album is due for release in June 2023 and is funded by Arts Council of England.
