Over the last few years, Bristol-based artist Chandra has been going from strength to strength in the music world with his guitar-driven pop sound, blending messages of positivity with catchy, rock-infused melodies. From an early age, Chandra was immersed in the music of legends like David Bowie and The Beatles, thanks to his parents’ constant rotation of classic records.
This foundation in timeless songwriting, combined with modern influences such as Britney Spears, Pink, One Republic and Sam Fender, has shaped the unique sound he creates today. Chandra made his musical debut in 2020 with the single “In This Together,” quickly establishing himself as an artist with a knack for meaningful, uplifting songwriting.
His tracks explore themes often overlooked in mainstream music, such as self-belief, confidence and mental health. Now, Chandra and his band bring us their latest single, “Lifted,” the title track from their upcoming debut EP.
“Lifted” is a celebration of those perfect days when everything seems to go right. It captures the joy of small victories, like catching the train on time or basking in the sun on a day off, and the exhilaration of shared experiences at gigs or festivals. The song is designed to be an anthem for good times, encouraging listeners to sing along and embrace the moment, no matter what kind of day they’ve had.
Brought in by the crunch of a guitar riff, Chandra’s vocals enter to thread uplifting lyrics via his rich delivery, setting up a catchy rock outing. Flowing with the roll of drums and layer of guitars, upbeat melodies ring out to form an infectious vibe that’s sure to put a smile on your face.
Full of memorable vocal hooks and backed by an energising rock arrangement, “Lifted” is the perfect mood booster whether you’re having a good day or a bad one. Once again delivering charming pop-focused rock music and with the release of their debut EP imminent, 2024 is set to be the most exciting year for Chandra and his band to date.
