Can you believe she didn't advance in The Voice (UK)? I felt like she was too good to even go on that show, and she didn't even make top 10? WHAT? Crazy. Probably the best thing that ever happened to her because now she isn't tied to a label.
Chinchilla is signed with a label but with an important difference, she signed with UMG's Island Records but under her own terms and releases via her own dedicated imprint (effectively her own mini label). Her last two tracks - Cut You Off and MF Diamond - have been relased through this arrangement and Little Girl Gone was added to her label catalogue as well. After Chinchilla's independently released track Little Girl Gone became such a viral hit a number of the big labels came knocking on her door, including UMG who also sign the winner of the UK Voice (although to a different sub-label). It seems UMG recognised Chinchilla's talent and decided to work with her regardless of not progressing on the Voice, a similar thing occured with Becky Hill previously as well when she was on the Voice. Chinchilla decided to sign as the admin/management side of music making was eating up too much of her time meaning she wasn't able to dedicate the level of time to her artistry that she wished. p.s. interesting sidenote - Sam Tompkins is also signed with Island Records. Ren releases through The Other Songs, who act for his publishing and label needs.
They're not looking for actual artists, they're looking for glorified karaoke singers who can mimic Beyonce and make millions by flogging crap they didn't write to artistically ignorant audiences. Their business is about producing garbage for profit, not about promoting art. The music industry hasn't been interested in actual art, or meaning, since the Grunge era in the early 90s.
100%!! I was so excited to see her on the voice, but at the same time I’m so happy that she didn’t become the next Kelly Clarkson/Ryan Seacrest type of celebrity. She has a way too much to offer, then to fall into that category.
The long nails weren't something she normally wore before her singing career, from what I've heard, she had pretty bad stage fright when she was first starting out, and a friend suggested creating an onstage persona, and just get into character or become that person before getting on stage. Apparently her friend gave good advice and she created Chinchilla, wearing a somewhat crazy outfit, with the crazy fingernails and it worked, she said she felt much more confident. After that Chinchilla was not Chinchilla until them nails were on. Also she makes all her own outfits you see in her videos. As usual, great reaction guys!! ✌💚
Great Reaction Guys..CHINNY is the QUEEN, she is AMAZINGLY TALENTED and the chills are real lol... I am proud to be a part of CHINCHILLAS discord family..we are called the Chilly Beans and we are Partners with REN and the Renegades discord family... Love watching you 2 guys react ..much appreciation for the CHINCHILLA and REN love.. TY
What a brilliant performance - especially on the line "hell has no fury like a woman scorned" - incredible. The piano guy needs a shout out too - he was so good
Talking about her facial expressions and such, that is why Ren describes her as his musical sibling. They both have a way of expressing the music through their body, as well as their vocals/instruments. Chinchilla is a bad ass! She should be way more famous!
I see lots of different influence’s when I watch Chinchilla, but one constant one is Kate Bush. The outfits, the pronunciation, the quirks, the quintessentially Englishness of it all.
Chinchilla = SUPERSTAR I love that her and REN are friends, I also love REN talked her into busking when she was nervous and hadn’t done it before, Ren had her back, and she smashed it… so so good…. I think it was “one dance, drunk in love”…… you guys will find it, she is wearing the leopard print jacket ren wore in his acoustic Animal Flow
I wish more reactors would do this song actually. I wish they would do the whole Awakening video since it has 5 of her songs which are all amazing. 😁 My favorite is Bitches....
This is singlehandedly my favourite live performance of the past 25 years, she is off the frigging scale in all areas, I simply love her! A few months ago on Ren's Patreon he posted a 19 second teaser of a song the two of them were working on and the vibe was just awesome, something that really could explode!!! Lovely reaction and LOVE " The Chinchillers "
The nails are part of her "costume" to enable her to overcome her extreme stage fright and anxiety. She puts on a persona to perform. She sings through her fingers, it's an empowerment thing for her. In her live performances, she changes everything up. Her and Ren are musical siblings/twins. You must watch both the official video and the live version if there are 2. They are so completely different and both are phenomenal.
I don't think there will be many people recommending the song by her that I'm about to because it's not very well known but even if you don't make a video about it you should definitely have a listen to a song by Chinchilla called "Demand Respect". It's not on her regular UA-cam channel it's on a channel called "Chinchilla - Topic" and it has no music video just a cool ass photo but if you liked the bridge of this song, you'll love the bridge of that one. She's an absolutely face melting singer.
I like the fingers symbolism you touched on. I think this is a song about agency. It expresses some of the rage we feel when someone misuses theirs to destroy ours. We use our hands to do or facilitate almost everything a human does. Cutting off someone's fingers would make them fundamentally impotent (as some might say they deserve, since they abused power when they had it) while she's here with her freedom and agency still intact, and the fingers used to express them celebrated with every adornment available.
Thanks for showcasing this MF Diamond, as she proclaimed in her latest drop, which is also FIRE! 💎❤️🔥 She said in a an interview that she gets very nervous and the nails and clothes help her get in the zone to ssslaay! Love everything about her too!
This is just the perfect performance to show why Ren and her are musical siblings. They both have that something special that demands attention. And I love how powerful a message she is sending with this one. This is the girl power role model young girls need right now.
So much passion. Just a consummate artist - and yes! This queen deserves way more attention. Looking forward to your next Chinchilla reaction, this was great ❤
Brilliant! I first came across her from her duets with Ren - which are also superb - Sorry I've not checked, but I'm presuming you have already seen one or two of these duets?
This made me so happy! This is one of my favorites from chinchilla. I just love everything about it. Her performance is next level! This one definitely gives me the chills every time I hear it. So glad you guys checked her out.
I agree she should have more views on YT, but TikTok is more her home platform. She also has twice the monthly listeners on Spotify as Ren. Little Girl Gone was a viral hit and had radio play and mainstream media attention.
Great channel guys, apparently this was about chinchilla getting out of her contract which held her down, so pleased for her as she is an amazing artist, and she produces her own music too, all the best guys and can't wait for the next upload.
Love it, keep it up Chinchilla is soooooo good, lyrics, performances arrangement so talented. Thanks for giving her the love and shares she is phenomenal! enjoying your reactions!
She still regularly brings me to tears with this one. It makes me so grateful to experience artists who were so clearly *meant* to be doing what they're doing, and so grateful that they've persevered to a point where their art is Out There enough that I get to stumble across it.
Chinchilla is actually named Daisy and she's said she is shy so she puts the nails on as her armor and becomes Chinchilla ❤ and this particular hat is made of a towel ❤
I love that Chinchilla's main message is empowerment! She speaks to many women who feel they don't have a voice. You should watch Little Girl Gone. I prefer the live Requiem version, although others like the studio video version. Both good. I just always prefer live.
I would imagine that she’s bold and beautiful enough to ask for what she wants and you know the industry does not want to give a woman what she wants so screw the industry
I heard someone else point out that she's actually saying, "woman scarred" not scorned which is soo much better in the context of the song. And to take such a well known phrase and tweek it just that little bit 👌
If somebody hasn’t mentioned in a previous comment, I’ll just tell you now, this is a song dedicated to her, stepping away from her record label. “One by one, I’ll cut your fingers off, so you can’t pull me down”…. Take that as a mean it…😏
Chinchilla doesn't have an extensive library of videos and her previous two albums didn't really highlight her singing voice (IMO) - they seem more geared to finding a unique, sellable sound. Supposedly she has a new record deal with tons of artistic freedom and Ren mentioned that they just recorded two new studio songs together. I think she's just now finding her stride and I look forward to some great stuff in the future.

@@RyanESmail Agreed, but I don't think that she would have let herself become that.
By the way 'Chinchilla' has a song 'Terms & Conditions' as well 😉
Chinchilla is too good for the world. They can't have her. They don't deserve her.
we DO!
Do you realize how creepy that sounds? Seek professional help asap
The long nails weren't something she normally wore before her singing career, from what I've heard, she had pretty bad stage fright when she was first starting out, and a friend suggested creating an onstage persona, and just get into character or become that person before getting on stage.

Yeah same thing I heard from ?her? when Chalk Outline was released

She's extraordinary and this one really shows her range. ❤
Awesome!! Her newest one is MF Diamond. I can't get over her beautiful voice!
Nice to see Chinchilla properly appreciated! She is the voice for the woman scorned!
Little girl lost requiem live is just as chinchilling ❤
If you haven't already please try Chinchilla's ELEMENT'S or FABULOUS or ONE TIME or TERMS AND CONDITIONS or LOCKDOWN GET DOWN 🎵🎶🍯🤌🙏✌️🐝🍀
Elements is ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Fabulous is one of my favourites, all are 🔥 🔥🔥🔥
Yes! This is the one I’ve been waiting for 😍😍🙌🏻❤️
I see lots of different influence’s when I watch Chinchilla, but one constant one is Kate Bush. The outfits, the pronunciation, the quirks, the quintessentially Englishness of it all.
The ChinChills?!?!? Ok. In one word you've described everything I've ever felt about her, thanks for that!🥰
Artists like Chinchilla and Ren are going to change the world of music for the better....... Thanks lads
Chinchilla is amazing!
Chinchilla needs more exposure because she is unbelievable! I hope she continues to do things her way because her way is so special.
Spectacular ❤🎉
There’s a great interview with her on Chris Liepe’s channel. Worth checking out. 💜
Chinchilla = SUPERSTAR
I love that her and REN are friends, I also love REN talked her into busking when she was nervous and hadn’t done it before, Ren had her back, and she smashed it… so so good…. I think it was “one dance, drunk in love”…… you guys will find it, she is wearing the leopard print jacket ren wore in his acoustic Animal Flow
Only other woman to do that to me was Sinead!
Bjork x Sinead
Her lives are always better
Talk about breath and vocal placement, you could damn near see her lungs in that belt. Love it.
Wait till you hear ‘one time’ there’s one particular note she hits on that one that shatters glass! Very Anne Wilson esque!
I wish more reactors would do this song actually. I wish they would do the whole Awakening video since it has 5 of her songs which are all amazing. 😁 My favorite is Bitches....

Yup, dude, this fire, and she's doing it LIVE! Mastery.
Props to the piano player, too, perfectly executed!
The nails are part of her "costume" to enable her to overcome her extreme stage fright and anxiety. She puts on a persona to perform. She sings through her fingers, it's an empowerment thing for her. In her live performances, she changes everything up. Her and Ren are musical siblings/twins. You must watch both the official video and the live version if there are 2. They are so completely different and both are phenomenal.
"Cause this was me last year', the image of her shadow as the scene, brings me to tears, every time...
Great reaction!!!! Hug from the Netherlands ❤
I also love her live arrangement of Little Girl Gone! Totally different from the music video. I feel like it doesn't get enough love.
And that's live ❤
Best female vocalist there is right now imo.
her voice is her instrument. her production her vehicle. i just love her music
I don't think there will be many people recommending the song by her that I'm about to because it's not very well known but even if you don't make a video about it you should definitely have a listen to a song by Chinchilla called "Demand Respect".

Here's a bit of Chinchilla trivia: she makes her own hats ❤
Thanks for showcasing this MF Diamond, as she proclaimed in her latest drop, which is also FIRE! 💎❤️🔥 She said in a an interview that she gets very nervous and the nails and clothes help her get in the zone to ssslaay! Love everything about her too!
The passion she conveys after the Hell hath no fury line is just astounding.💕👍🦇
Get the ChinChills every time I hear this song. *correction, every time I feel this performance! ❤
She is the Queen of everyone and everything!! She is just amazing!!
This is just the perfect performance to show why Ren and her are musical siblings. They both have that something special that demands attention. And I love how powerful a message she is sending with this one. This is the girl power role model young girls need right now.
Next up Elements by Chinchilla is not to be missed its very different but very good .
You should check out her song “Elements”. Crazy video and fire song 🔥🔥🔥
Chinchilla is an amazing Warrior Goddess!!!!! 😀🫶🙏🥰💖🩷💟🎵🎶🔮🌹🔥🔥🔥💜
I love it when Chinchilla looks a little bit insane with that smile!

So much passion. Just a consummate artist - and yes! This queen deserves way more attention. Looking forward to your next Chinchilla reaction, this was great ❤
Brilliant! I first came across her from her duets with Ren - which are also superb - Sorry I've not checked, but I'm presuming you have already seen one or two of these duets?
This made me so happy! This is one of my favorites from chinchilla. I just love everything about it. Her performance is next level! This one definitely gives me the chills every time I hear it. So glad you guys checked her out.
She’s such a powerhouse and gives us women a voice. Check out Elements and Cold Water. Love your reactions!❤
This performance is OUTSTANDING in every sense
This is my absolute favorite from her! Be sure to check out Elements, and Little Girl Gone (Live Requiem version)
Elements is so so good...and it's so much more than just a lyric video!
@@YetiGirl agree, it’s so good! Her face is SO expressive.
Top notch guys.
She gives me the 'CHIN'-Chills
I agree she should have more views on YT, but TikTok is more her home platform. She also has twice the monthly listeners on Spotify as Ren. Little Girl Gone was a viral hit and had radio play and mainstream media attention.
Phenomenal Queen Chinchilla! Brilliant reaction!
Yassss CHINCHILLSSSSS!!!👑👏🏽👑👏🏽
Prince would love her and Ren. I can see a dark seed in her eyes on this one. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is an incredible performance. This will blow you away.
Great channel guys, apparently this was about chinchilla getting out of her contract which held her down, so pleased for her as she is an amazing artist, and she produces her own music too, all the best guys and can't wait for the next upload.
Justin! “Killing me softly” you softy you ❤❤❤
She's such a beautiful unique talent, haunting & fierce, so original. ❤
Probably my number 1song video of the last few years. So much passion in her voice and performance.
Love it, keep it up Chinchilla is soooooo good, lyrics, performances arrangement so talented. Thanks for giving her the love and shares she is phenomenal! enjoying your reactions!
She makes all her hats.
She still regularly brings me to tears with this one.
It makes me so grateful to experience artists who were so clearly *meant* to be doing what they're doing, and so grateful that they've persevered to a point where their art is Out There enough that I get to stumble across it.
Absolutely you want to do MF Diamond! The Queen Chinchilla adventure must continue! So glad you guys loved Fingers Live, it's so damn amazing!
This one is purely savage briliance.
🔥🦇🔥🦇🔥🦇🔥🦇🔥
I am so proud of the Uk music scene.
Absolutely love Chinchilla. Her voice is so beautiful. Her videos are amazing. Great reaction guys ❤
Guys, the Warning has a new video dropping 5 April.
Ah this is gonna be good, to see your faces watching this ❤
First comment!!! 💪🏻😂
I love your Ren (and Chinchilla) reactions guys.
Much love from Essex, England!
The 5.31 reaction would be the correct reaction, yes. 😸
Much love,
From STHLM, Sweden
Yeah, she's that good!
The chinchills!!
Chinchilla is actually named Daisy and she's said she is shy so she puts the nails on as her armor and becomes Chinchilla ❤ and this particular hat is made of a towel ❤
Thank ❤you fellas! Another great reaction.
This is a beautiful reaction*~☆ Keep up the great wurk and thank you for your contribution to the reaction community!*~☆
She's one truly unique artist. Goosebumps.
Isn’t it simply amazing!
You have to do Cold Water live by Chinchilla. It is beautiful!
Cold water. Live a music award show. Is a legit great song. More traditional even song. Her voice is so damn good.
🔥🔥🔥 great reaction...❤❤❤
I love that Chinchilla's main message is empowerment! She speaks to many women who feel they don't have a voice. You should watch Little Girl Gone. I prefer the live Requiem version, although others like the studio video version. Both good. I just always prefer live.
Her nails are actually press ons. I've seen a video where she was putting them on. Lol. She just wears them for the music I believe.
I would imagine that she’s bold and beautiful enough to ask for what she wants and you know the industry does not want to give a woman what she wants so screw the industry
Great reaction. Looooove her. Gonna check out more of your stuff now! (Chinchills is excellent😂)
Yeap you have to do her new one, it's been living in my head ever since I first heard it. It's 🔥 🔥 🔥
Check out the studio version
She reminds me of Kate bush .amazingly different from everything else today
I heard someone else point out that she's actually saying, "woman scarred" not scorned which is soo much better in the context of the song. And to take such a well known phrase and tweek it just that little bit 👌
Randomly: her style would be perfect dressed in Thom Browne
#ChinchGang❤ #ChillaArmy❤
