Dance Trio CHIC CHOC Come Alive with Bold New Single ‘Freedom’
CHIC CHOC’s newest release “Freedom” is a pulsating techno dance single reminiscent of Massive Attack and Calvin Harris with a hint of softer pop elements.
The song is about women’s rights around the world, which also brings attention to the recent Iran protests that have sparked in the aftermath of the killing-in-custody of the 22 year old Mahsa Amini. “This event sparked one of the largest women lead movements in history and our song is in support of this,” shares the trio. “We believe that even if one woman does not have freedom, our freedom is incomplete. We hope to be able to inspire social change using our music as a medium.”
“Freedom“ is an anthem for bringing on change, written with the intention to bring light to the constant battle for women's rights. Each of the cities they sing about have particular instances associated with them where women were treated unjustly.
CHIC CHOC is an electronic music collaboration between long time music veterans Connie Yin, Neda Zahraie, and Christina Crossin, actualized in 2019. The trio composes using drum machines, synthesizers, guitars, voice and a variety of sound filters and pedals. Listeners should expect a danceable groove, informed lyrics and an unexpected yet supremely elegant shift in feel and attitude from song to song.
CHIC CHOC is an electronic music project from Connie Yin, Neda Zahraie and Christina Crossin. The idea of a collaborative ensemble between these longtime music veterans was conceived in late 2018 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and actualized in February of 2019 at a very first band meeting/rehearsal in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
The trio composes all the songs using drum machines, synthesizers, bass guitar, voice and a variety of sound filters and pedals. Listeners should expect a danceable groove, informed lyrics and an unexpected yet supremely elegant shift in feel and attitude from song to song.
The core of CHIC CHOC’s musical mission is to practice freedom of artistic expression and experimentation at every moment of life and in every song. These three New York City Women have begun the kind of rare and mutual collaboration absent for far too long from our world.
