— 17-year-old singer/songwriter Chenayder shares her new single “Colors” featuring North Carolina’s Mavi along with a new music video.
A previous version of Chenayder’s new single, “Colors,” was originally shared on Chenayder’s SoundCloud and became a fan favorite. However, after a chance encounter during recording sessions with Smino, Mavi jumped on the track which now sees its official release.
The new song further showcases what is becoming a calling card for Chenayder — an innate ability to fuse old-school flair with contemporary sonics. Arriving alongside “Colors” is the Jackie Radinsky-directed video portraying Chenayder and Mavi in a playful, French new wave-inspired setting. “Colors” follows Chenayder’s performances at SXSW last month and her single “For One Last Time,” which arrived with a Legit Looks-directed video.
As Chenayder utilized hall passes to discreetly slip away to the restroom and capture TikTok renditions of her songs, her stardom soared over the past year. The then-sophomore student garnered recognition from self-proclaimed idols such as SZA and Tyler, The Creator. May 2023 saw the release of her debut EP Blue Oblivion, which includes the track “Strawberry Perfume” and was followed up with her stand-alone single “Goodbye.” Each of the aforementioned songs earned support from influential playlists like Spotify’s Pollen, R&B Weekly, Indie Frequency, On Repeat, and Vanguard. These early testaments to Chenayder’s talent hint at the undeniable potential of the budding Haitian-American artist who is balancing her studies with her burgeoning music career.
Check out “Colors” feat. Mavi and the music video above and stay tuned for more from Chenayder coming very soon.
