Rachel Chinouriri - Never Need Me (Official Video)

[@leiloni1748]

A black indie pop girl with a coming of age movie-esque ass music video is healing my inner child who loveddd songs/videos like this but never had the representation 🥹🥲

[@Jay41]

I’m gonna be so pissed if she gets nominated for something and they put her in the r&b category🙄

[@jamaisali]

!!!!

[@zoe._.1850]

Right???! I commented before on her “The Hills” mv how much I wish 14th year old me had this 😭😭 like everytime I see her my heart just 🥰!!! Representation is just so so important. As a black girl who loves indie (and Ik there are actually many of us, but we just don’t get the representation) I can’t thank her enough. Actually feeling emotional writing this 😭 and plus she’s Zim like me?!!! She deserves all the accolades! This year is going to be her year 💗🤞🏾

[@JoeLogan-yf7xi]

Don’t mess with the work flo

[@13realmusic]

Finally a black woman main character with a supportive white BFF. That’s So Raven was the blueprint, but Hollywood refuses to let us have anymore of these stories.

[@Eiann]

Truly was a good show

[@rhiannon3625]

yeah she’s not going to hit mega game which is unfortunate

[@uglylilbunny101]

UGGGHHH we need more of these bro. I’m so tired of the racism in Hollywood like come on it was never okay or valid. GIVE ME MORE POC MAIN CHARACTERS!!!!!

[@ezirsavan]

True Jackson VP was so good too

[@ramblingrahema2125]

And the Parkers...the early 2000s was a special time

[@otbswiftt]

florence pugh and rachel chinouriri are the duo we never thought we needed yet i can't live without now

Its hella cool flo doesn't sing, that I know of, but I feel its the best new friendgirlship since Taylor/SelenaGomez.

I enjoyed listening to this. I wrote a song about the remnants of heartbreak. It is called *Hurting Missing You by Xara* . Please chexk it out in my channel and subscribe. It would mean the world to me.

2015? haha idk this gives me 2000s vibes

[@reggiBB]

Did anyone else notice that Rachel had a half heart necklace and Florence had the other heart necklace? It was her friend all along was there for her, supported her and rooted for her all along, not some dude.

[@raeg1100]

That's one of my favorite parts of the video! The whole thing is amazing but it is so great to see a bestie being there for a bestie going through a hard time

[@elsagodet1963]

The voice. The song. The vibes. The looks. The people. Immaculate

[@fartunl9135]

Seriously her voice is sooo good

[@LouisRMichael]

Bro this is gonna be a gateway for so many people into the powerhouse that is Rachel Chinoriri and her already legendary discography, thank you Florence Pugh for making so many people look at Rachel even for just a moment, because a moment is all she needs and you're hooked, GET IT GIRL THE NEW SONG IS ANOTHER INSTANT CLASSIC ! ! !

[@nternetrat]

YES.

[@rougaroo642]

A moment is all she needs, yes!

[@lilblue04]

I had never heard of her and came running after seeing a random Instagram post with this song on it. Instantly loved it!

[@saku.544]

Rachel's music makes me feel so seen, as a black girl who has always been into indie music, which we all know is not a very diverse scene, seeing her makes me feel like I belong in that space as well !! 💕

[@KaiKailuv]

SO TRUE

[@jordinjames3961]

Yeaa

[@zoe._.1850]

I relate so much!!

[@dublancdedinde]

yes😭 she’s healing all of the awkward/alt black girlies that always wished they could be in those kinds of videos but never saw themselves. if only 12yo me could see it

Love that Flo uses her clout to help her real life besties

[@cmmiestcat]

Fun fact: Florence only knew Rachel when she was listening to her song and then reached out to Rachel to say thank you for the music only for Rachel to responded "am a fan as well" and then this music video idea came up.

[@bethanychatman9531]

Wasn't Rachel already famous?

[@captaincrunch3720]

The kind of musical representation I wish I had gotten to see growing up.❤ So happy the next generation of "just a little bit different" black girls gets to see themselves accepted in this genre. If "become the adult you wish you had growing up" we're a person😍

[@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024]

Right? I hope more Representation is thrown in our face. 😭 Healing that 2010s self!

[@jenniferkash4424]

My "I'll watch anything with Florence Pugh in it" rule has never failed me and still has not after watching this music video. She is dream blunt rotation material. Great song

[@londonprice3044]

I love the use of time in this video. Is it a flashback? An endless cyclical loop of co-dependence among friends/lovers/lovers? Really great work, great characters, love the song. Thanks for making it.

[@black_n5492]

Ooooh, I noticed that but didn't read it this way. I love the idea of it being an endless loop (hopefully our heroine eventually breaks out of it 😊)

[@rodrigoesc3747]

it is commendable how in a 3 minute video I feel like I know perfectly who these people are, specially the main duo. Great acting/storytelling

I´ve been following Rachel for so long now, and her artistry truly never ceases to amaze me. Your songs make me feel so many emotions. A small part of me wants to keep your songs to myself, but at the same time I just want to blast your music everywhere so everyone can appreciate your talent. Please never stop writing music
