Japan's CHAI are back with their playful and anthemic new single "Ready Cheeky Pretty".
"Ready Cheeky Pretty" is the group's second single of 2020, landing after March's "No More Cake".
CHAI say of their latest offering, "KEEP IT REAL Go back to the real you! It’s all about moving forward and living by instinct! To go forward with the voice of your heart! Nothing symbolizes this more for us than the carefree nature, strength, and purity of a monkey. We pay homage to this in "Ready Cheeky Pretty" because we feel that animals have the ability to be REAL more than humans. It’s this type of song! Take a listen!"
The band are yet to follow up their 2019 LP PUNK.
CHAI's "Ready Cheeky Pretty" single is out now.
