Rising British singer-songwrtiter Chantitown has released a new single titled “Strong In Broken Places”. The track is featured on her upcoming EP, Camouflage, slated for release on October 11.
Produced and composed by Jim Hustwit, as well as the artist herself, “Strong In Broken Places” follows Chantitown’s previously released sucessful single, “Cause And The Cure”. The track premiered via Clash Magazine and was singled out as Best Song Of The Month by Songwriter Universe.
Chantitown is a coming folktronica artist born and raised in London. Speaking of her hometown, she says “I live in a city full of mystery and magic, London is where my heart is and I can’t imagine living anywhere else”.
Both music and poetry have always been present in Chantitown’s life. Acquainted with the likes of Prince and Madonna from the early childhood, she started writing poems at the age of thirteen and went on study English Literature and Performing Arts.
Songwriting-wise, Chantitown draws inspiration from such artists as Jose Gonzáles and Bon Iver. She also admires the unique voices of Fever Ray, Lykke Li and Aurora, while her own dreamy, ethereal sound brings to mind the likes of Lamb and Bat For Lashes.
“Strong In Broken Places”, an intriguing blend of folktronica and synth-pop, is deeply rooted in poetry. “I like playing with words, rhythm and sounds”, the artist said. “I felt this song lent itself well to be sung as if I was reading a poem. Strong in Broken Places comes from an honest place, I think you can hear the truth right until the very end“.
