South-East London native and now Sydney-based sensation, Chanel Loren, has just released her latest single ‘Zone’, accompanied by a stunning music video directed by Muna Hamid. Known for her unique blend of soulful alt-R&B, Loren continues to captivate audiences with her distinctive style and charismatic presence.

In ‘Zone’, Loren explores the complexities of modern dating through a soulful narrative that weaves through the stages of crushes, lust, and dissatisfaction. The song, described by Loren as an "open letter to modern-day dating," delves into the internal monologue of romantic pursuits and the games they entail, highlighting her lyrical prowess and vocal agility.

Critics have praised Loren for her genre-defying music and emotive vocal delivery, with accolades from major publications like Vice, Complex, and Clash, noting her ability to conjure "soulful shapes" and push personal boundaries through her music. ‘Zone’ follows Loren’s recent alt-pop release ‘Carelessly Doomed’, featuring Kota The Friend, which marked a powerful reintroduction to her music in 2024 after a dynamic 2023.

Over the past year, Chanel Loren has not only been nominated for an ARIA for Best Soul/R&B Release but also gained international recognition at major music festivals such as Souled Out, SXSW Sydney, and The Great Escape in the UK. Her growth in the music industry is underscored by her previous hits like ‘Playlist’, ‘Disappear’, and ‘Some Other Time’, which collectively boast over 2 million streams.

Heralded as a "promise-packed" artist by Dork and celebrated for her gospel-infused harmonies and introspective lyrics by The Line of Best Fit, Chanel Loren’s latest release showcases her ever-evolving talent and confirms her place as a rising star in the global music scene.
