SOMETHING NEW by CHICK After 2 years of songwriting collaboration, performing together, locking down together, (and getting married together!), Singer/Songwriters Chelsy Atkins and Ricky Bloomfield have started a new Alternate/Pop/Rock outfit - CHICK. Joined in the studio by ZOE HAUPTMANN (Ian Moss, Missy Higgins) EVAN MANNELL (Tim Minchin), LACHY DOLEY (Powderfinger) MATT SMITH (Thirsty Merc) and recording engineer RICHIE BELKNER @ Free Energy Device; Chelsy and Ricky have created their first album - "1X". CHICK will be releasing the album one song at a time, once a week, every Sunday at 11:11am, starting Valentines Day, 2021. Chelsy started writing the first track of 1X "Something New" when she was only 13. Ricky heard her playing the song in 2020 and jumped in to help finish it off. The themes of optimism and the opening lyric "We can do what we want to. Isn't it amazing?" made it the perfect opening track for "1X".
