Rachel Chinouriri unveils acoustic version of 'I'm Not Perfect (But I'm Trying)'

After recently returning to share her powerful new single 'I’m Not Perfect (But I’m Trying)' earlier this month, Rachel Chinouriri has now returned to unveil the acoustic version of her latest offering.

The new stripped-back rendition of 'I’m Not Perfect (But I’m Trying)' sees her transform the original into a more pensive and intimate listen, and comes accompanied by an equally minimal new video.

Speaking about the new acoustic direction, she said, “I wanted to do an acoustic version of the song to bring attention to the lyrics rather than the energy of the song, I wanted people to focus more on the message and interpret in a way that means something to them. The song is about being imperfectly perfect and the message is really important to me, and I hope it resonates with people.”

Check out the new video for the acoustic version of 'I’m Not Perfect (But I’m Trying)' in the player below.
