\n\tRachel Chinouriri<\/a> only recently started penning love songs that capture emotions as intense as the ones that show up across her debut album What a Devastating Turn of Events.<\/a> Her latest EP, Little House, is full of them, from \u201cCan We Talk About Isaac?\u201d<\/a> and \u201cIndigo\u201d to \u201cWhat a Life.\u201d But Chinouriri is a champion of finding love everywhere it might exist, whether in relationships or in her music library.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the latest installment of Rolling Stone\u2018s Song Shuffle, the British singer-songwriter finds love in Madonna\u2019s \u201cHung Up.\u201d \u201cThis is the best song on the planet,\u201d Chinoririri says backstage at All Things Go in New York City. \u201cI\u2019m actually not joking. This is my favorite song ever.\u201d There\u2019s a layer of self-love to the record, too. \u201cMadonna makes me feel fearless,\u201d she adds. \u201cShe honestly did not give a fuck about what anyone thought back then. Whenever I am a little bit fearful about what people think I\u2019m like, if Madonna can do it, I can do it. She walked so that so many of us could run.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tChinoiriri praises Madonna\u2019s iconic name, a compliment she also extends to Two Door Cinema Club when their indie rock hit \u201cWhat You Know\u201d appears in her playlist shuffle. \u201cI think being classic is very chic, and being classically British,\u201d she says. \u201cThe UK was rocking with this song quite a lot, to be honest, and it just reminds me of home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCharli XCX\u2019s \u201cVon Dutch,\u201d another chance shuffle pick from Chinouriri\u2019s library, knows all about classics. Brat arrived just a year too late for Chinouriri to really live that life \u2014 she was sober during Brat Summer \u2014 but she can imagine the \u201cchaos\u201d that would have ensued if it\u2019d happened earlier. Luckily, she still had a chance to fall in love again and again. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m in a romantic mood,\u201d Chinouriri says, noting that her favorite Brat track at the moment is the Caroline Polachek remix of \u201cEverything is Romantic.\u201d For anyone who isn\u2019t on the same wave, she has a bit of advice for navigating love. \u201cDon\u2019t let love blind you from common sense,\u201d Chinouriri says. \u201cJust remember sense over everything. Love yourself more than your partner, and if it doesn\u2019t work out, don\u2019t be like, \u2018Oh, no one can love me.\u2019 Girl, there\u2019s 8 billion people out here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThat sea of people also includes a number of artists Chinouriri would love to collaborate with or share a tour billing with. \u201cI would love to have a song with PinkPantheress,\u201d she notes. It\u2019s a moment of manifesting, with their new collaboration \u201cRomeo\u201d arriving today. Chinouriri also puts into the universe that she would love to join Olivia Dean on tour. \u201cShe\u2019s iconic,\u201d she says. \u201cThe tour is going to be fantastic.\u201d She\u2019d even be down to work with Gotye, whose classic \u201cSomebody That I Used to Know\u201d accidentally plays from her phone as she\u2019s raving about Dean.<\/p>\n
