I interview Inner West Queen Cherry Rype ଘ(˵˘ε˘˵)✲ﾟ｡and unearth the experiences that she shares with us through her music. She has this unique ability to take gut wrenching emotions - pain, grief and the tumultuous journey of finding ones identity - alchemise them, turning it all into an ephemeral almost visceral experience. She creates sonic packages that aren’t for the weak - 𝒷𝓇ℯ𝒶𝓀𝒾𝓃ℊ ℴ𝓅ℯ𝓃 𝓌ℴ𝓊𝓃𝒹𝓈 𝓎ℴ𝓊 𝒹𝒾𝒹𝓃’𝓉 𝓇ℯ𝒶𝓁𝒾𝓈ℯ 𝓎ℴ𝓊 𝒽𝒶𝒹, 𝒻ℴ𝓇𝒸𝒾𝓃ℊ 𝓎ℴ𝓊 𝓉ℴ 𝓇ℯ𝓂ℯ𝓂𝒷ℯ𝓇.
In the interview Cherry Rype talks us through her expression and the community she takes inspiration from. Inspiration from 90s music, surrounding herself with Tongan and Polynesian sounds now that she’s more culturally aware of her own culture and other peoples pain as if she’s a conduit and creating music that resonates and lets people move.
We talk culture, heritage and how your background sneaks through everything you do and realising everything that.
Special shoutouts from Cherry to collaborators such as marcella sunshine allen, fisheyeFM, blair romance, Lucidx0 and the visual artists that transform the sound to the screen such as barkifyouwantfilm, coveredflaws and 1lastflick
