In a world filled with influencers and high-flyers, it can be overwhelming to constantly keep up appearances. In her latest single “Don’t Compare Yourself”, singer My Chérie has addressed this issue with warmth and understanding.
My Chérie has exploded onto the scene with her pop tinged songs and captivating live shows. Her music has been described as dreamy and angelic, with nods to the likes of Tash Sultana, Kate Bush and Kate Miller-Heidke. She exudes energy effortlessly, with an easy likeable style. Awarded Best Live Act in SA in the National Live Music Awards in 2020 is a recognition of her talent.
The challenges faced by her upbringing in South Africa and the pressures of cultural Afrikaans expectations led to this song. She reflects on her experience:
“In my personal life, my art has allowed me to break free of the conformity of my religion, cultural background and the confinement of being put in a box – either as a Christian or as a Queer person.”
The positive message is for listeners to embrace their own unique journeys and experiences. The richly layered song combines piano, acoustic guitar melodies and a touch of jungle drum and bass to create a luxurious and harmonious sound.
Fans of Grimes, Mallrat and Billie Eilish will particularly enjoy “Don’t Compare Yourself”. The song is available on all major streaming platforms.
