CHAiLD drops new EP

CHAiLD is an artist with a distinctive voice and wears his heart on his sleeve, weaving a narrative of reflection and healing. Born in Luxembourg and currently based in Brussels, this young pop artist at 25 has already made remarkable strides in the music industry.

Inspired by artists like Troye Sivan, Sam Smith, Julia Michaels and Mø, CHAiLD fashions a unique pop style infused with his own Italian roots. His voice, both soothing and intense, captivates, making him a generational voice for the queer youth seeking avenues for self-expression.

Starting his career in Luxembourg in 2019, CHAiLD has achieved significant milestones, including opening slots for musical idols like Dean Lewis and Mahmood. His stage presence has graced numerous festivals, including Sonic Visions Festival in Luxembourg and Dockville in Germany.

With his studio music, he unveiled his sound in 2019 with his debut single “Artificial” and has since shared a string of well-received singles and remixes. Now he brings us his brand new EP, Urgent Care, a poignant exploration of CHAiLD’s personal struggles via a collection of songs penned during a period of vulnerability and anxiety.

The EP unfolds as a powerful testament to the artist’s journey toward self-acceptance and healing. Through sincere lyrics and soulful melodies, CHAiLD lays bare the realization that vulnerability is not a weakness but a bridge to connect with others and, most importantly, with oneself.

The opening track, “Waterfalls,” sets the tone with its emphatic alternative pop sound. Here, CHAiLD’s voice takes flight, guiding the listener through the emotional landscape he’s crafted. The EP continues with “Close To You,” a composition marked by moving lyrics and laid-back energy.

The title track, “Urgent Care,” is a pinnacle of the EP, where CHAiLD courageously exposes his struggles and admits to the necessity of seeking help. The song’s hook-filled writing and raw emotion showcase the artist’s ability to lay bare his past traumas and confront the pain he has carried for too long. Throughout the EP, CHAiLD confronts his demons, providing an authentic portrayal of the human experience.

Commenting on the EP, he shares, “Urgent care is my way of opening up to myself and to others. Throughout my life, I thought vulnerability was a flaw and that showing weakness resulted in an open invitation for people to hurt me. However now, I know I am allowed to tell people I’m not ok. It is ok to break down and to accept the fact that the world feels just a bit too much to handle from time to time. So, from now on, I will try to heal from the hurt I’ve been carrying within me. And most importantly, instead of dealing with it alone, I will ask for help. Yes, I am in urgent need for care.”
