Chenayder releases debut EP ‘Blue Oblivion’

BLUE OBLIVION OUT NOW

VIA ALAMO RECORDS

16-year-old Haitian-American songwriter and producer Chenayder releases her debut EP Blue Oblivion via Alamo Records. The 6-track project includes the previously released singles “Strawberry Perfume,” “Off The Wall,” and “Save U,” all of which arrived with videos directed by Jake & Oliver. Blue Oblivion is not music born of nostalgia but rather is a testament to the young artist’s ability to weave together the past and the present as she combines melodies that echo 50s and 60s R&B groups juxtaposed against modern touches like breakbeats and thumping bass.

Chenayder is an instinctual and self-taught songwriter. Hailing from Orlando, the young artist began her musical journey during lockdown after her mother gifted her a new laptop. From there, she began to make her own beats and sample others she found on YouTube to create songs that grew out of an existing interest in poetry which has been a passion of hers since the third grade. When she was in 8th grade, Chenayder shared her first song “Bethany,” which received praise from her TikTok followers who encouraged her to continue making music.

In 2022, Chenayder released her breakout song “Fall.” The song came to her while sitting in the kitchen after school one day when her mother was cooking. Suddenly, the lyrics “if I fall, you will fall too” popped into her mind, and Chenayder immediately went to her room to write down the lyrics and find a beat to match what was playing in her head. The record, which only took a few hours for her to make, now has over 500,000 plays on SoundCloud, exploded on TikTok, and has over 6 million streams on Spotify.
