My Chérie Explores the Beauty and Fragility of Existence in Her New Single "Life Is"

Adelaide based singer songwriter and multi instrumentalist My Chérie has returned with her most introspective single yet. 'Life Is', the track was written midair on a 30 hour flight home, a stream of consciousness download of everything she saw, felt, and questioned along the way.

With delicate vocals and ambient production that wraps around you like a slow sunrise, 'Life Is' is a reflection that wrestles with uncertainty, celebrates fleeting connections, and ultimately finds peace in the shared weight we all carry.

"Yeah, who is right? Who is wrong? Life is short and life is long."

Over a dreamy, slow burning arrangement, My Chérie sings about the universal hunger for belonging and understanding, whether through a new friend’s heartbeat or the wisdom of a stranger.

A lady from Nepal told me her story and the secret to it all. She said, 'You got it good.' But I’ve been beaten, I’ve been bitten, I’ve been loved, and I’ve been smitten, so I felt misunderstood.

Life Is channels the soft power of artists like Maggie Rogers and Norah Jones, with lyrical precision and a warmth that feels lived in. The track is deeply personal yet resonantly collective.

"The future sold to teenagers is so misleading. Find the courage, still waiting."

Musically, this release sees My Chérie holds her signature intimacy, while intertwining an airiness to the single that gives it life and allows us to envision her life as she wants us to see it.

“Writing 'Life Is' felt like clarity after chaos, It’s for the wanderers, the over thinkers, and everyone just trying to make sense of it all.”

Following national airplay and praise for earlier releases, My Chérie proves once again she’s a rising force in Australia’s indie music scene.
