"Today's Song: Chiiild's 'Count Me Out' Is, To Put It Simply, Fiiire".
"Hands Off Me" was shortlisted for Triple J's Hottest 100 on December 8, 2020. In addition to Synthetic Soul's positive reception, Chiiild has been listed as an "Artist to Watch" by media outlets such as Pigeons & Planes, The Line of Best Fit, Paste Magazine, Exclaim!, and Spotify's global emerging-artist program, RADAR. While commenting on the saturation of experimental R&B in indie music, Dominiq Robinson of HotNewHipHop positively distinguished Synthetic Soul's textural production-calling it a sonic "blueprint" in the use of "ambient synth pads, funky basslines, lo-fi drum sequencing, and reverb-heavy vocals". In speaking about the band's artistry, Krista Apardian of Ones to Watch proclaimed that the EP's "delicate balance of smooth retro soul, psychedelia, and modern R&B" produced "an entrancing mix of old and new." Writing for Lyrical Lemonade, Lucas Garrison commended the EP's introspective lyrics, claiming that " really succeed in blending experimentation with emotion." Upon its release, Synthetic Soul's sound was widely acclaimed by music critics. It was synced on ABC's Grey's Anatomy, airing on the seventeenth season's fifth episode, " Fight the Power," on December 10, 2020. On July 22, 2020, a stripped version of "Pirouette" was released as a promotional single. The fourth single, "Hands Off Me", was released on January 22, 2020. "Darling" was released as the third single on November 13, 2019. The EP's second single, "Back to Life", featured Shungudzo and premiered on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show on September 13, 2019. It received world premiere support from Rory Farrell on The Joe Budden Podcast. "Count Me Out" was released on July 31, 2019, as the EP's lead single. The film exhibits the remote haven in which the EP was created and introduces the band's empirical approach to songwriting.
A short documentary film of the same name-shot by Peter Hou at Wild Studio, in Saint-ZĂ©non, Quebec-was released on May 14, 2020.
