Chandra’s “Lifted”: A Feel-Good Anthem
Bristol-based pop-rock sensation, Chandra, released their latest single, “Lifted,” on July 19. Following the success of their March hit “I’ll Be There,” this new track promises to be another infectious addition to their growing repertoire. With its feel-good vibes and catchy hooks, “Lifted” is all about celebrating those perfect moments when everything seems to go your way.
“Lifted” captures the essence of those days when life feels just right—when the train arrives on time, you snag your favorite seat, or when the sun shines down on a well-deserved day off. It’s about the pure joy of being at a gig or festival with friends, watching your favorite artists, and feeling on top of the world. Frontman Chandra sums it up perfectly: “We wrote this song so that wherever you are, whatever kind of day you’ve had, you can sing along and feel awesome.”
Chandra’s music consistently explores the ups and downs of life, and “Lifted” is no exception. It’s a song that recognizes how rare those perfect days can be but emphasizes the infectious nature of positivity. “Sometimes it’s hard to wake up with a positive outlook,” Chandra explains. “But if you approach the day with a smile and a positive attitude, it influences everyone around you. It’s like setting yourself and everyone else up to have a great day.”
Chandra’s distinctive sound—a blend of pop-rock with introspective lyrics—continues to resonate with listeners. The band, featuring Keith Jones (drums), Chris Wong (bass), Rock Cheung (guitar), and Chandra Nair (frontman), has already made waves with singles like “Pretty,” “Smile (No Fox Gibbon),” and “I’ll Be There.” Now, with “Lifted,” they’re offering a preview of their upcoming EP of the same name, set to drop later this summer.
The music video for “Lifted,” also releasing on July 19, is a simple yet powerful visual accompaniment to the track. It showcases real people enjoying life’s best moments, encapsulating the song’s message of joy and positivity. Chandra describes the video as an “honest reflection” of the song’s spirit, a “4-minute bundle” of genuine happiness.
Co-produced by Chandra and Elliot Vaughan, “Lifted” is poised to be the soundtrack of your summer. So, mark your calendars, get ready to sing along, and let yourself be “Lifted.”
