Hailing from Bristol, Chandra brings a guitar-driven pop sound infused with messages of positivity. His meaningful songwriting explores themes often overlooked in mainstream music, taking ideas of self-belief, building confidence and mental health and wrapping them in his pop-focused rock sound.
Chandra’s musical adventures stems from a childhood immersed in classics, with his parents’ record player constantly spinning the tunes of Bowie and The Beatles. This early exposure gave him a strong education in melody, which he combines with his modern influences from the likes of Britney, Pink, One Republic and Sam Fender to create his unique sound.
Debuting in 2020 with “In This Together,” Chandra has since released a series of stellar singles that have struck a chord with fans around the world. With a strong visual aesthetic, he emphasises the connection between his sonic output and compelling music videos, enhancing the impact of his message-driven songwriting.
Now bringing us his first release of the year, he shares his brand new single titled “I’ll Be There.” Leaning further into the rock-inspired side of his sound while maintaining the upbeat and catchy vibes that define his music, “I’ll Be There” sees Chandra deliver an anthemic pop rock outing that perfectly balances punchy energy with memorable melodic writing.
Kicked off with pulsing bass guitar lines, drum strikes bring in the energetic rock sound of crunchy guitar riffs and leads before settling into the verse where Chandra’s commanding vocals thread uplifting lyricism. Continuing the themes of his previous singles “Pretty” and “Smile (No Fox Gibbon,” the new track instils a message of self-empowerment and making a positive impact for the world.
Building with splashing drums and dynamic guitar arrangement, the chorus shines with stunning vocal hooks, resulting in an anthemic and instantly catchy sound. Injecting shimmering rock flair with a slick guitar solo int he finale, “I’ll Be There” is an epic new outing packed full of energy, infectious writing and sensational vocal performance. Paired with the single is a music video that sees Chandra and his band perform the song, cut with shots of bright colour backgrounds.
