New single by artist Marina Vanoff, “Chino”, explores the tragedy of a breakup and how intense the aftermath can be. Her song uncovers the dark pit one finds themselves in during the death of a relationship and how climbing out of it can seem so impossible. The song itself is so raw and so beautiful and perfectly captures the despair and loneliness following the end of this relationship. What’s interesting about this track is it stays unique by not following the classic song structure. While the song discusses this difficult subject, “Chino” serves as a reminder to anyone who is in this same position that this experience is universal, and that one shouldn’t feel completely alone.
“Chino” is very mellow when it comes to the production of the song, as it keeps its instrumentals very minimal and puts more emphasis on what Vanoff is saying. There’s a lot of regret in her voice as she sings about a lot of the events that took place in the past, but it’s regret that’s focused on feeling vulnerable with another person and that person taking advantage of it. The lyrics “you told me to jump, I drowned and you watched it” really emphasize this as it shows how the other person in the relationship allowed the speaker to get hurt by their actions. Vanoff has a great voice, and it holds emotion so well that you find yourself mesmerized by everything she says. “Chino” is powerful because of how raw it is, and a great exploration of how great of an artist Marina Vanoff can be.
