corook is back with “BDSM“, her most unrestrained single to date. Inspired by her long-term relationship with her girlfriend, Olivia, the honest love song can be heard now below.
“I didn’t think I wanted to write love songs,” says corook of the track. “I feel like love songs are usually cheesy and hard to listen to because they’re always just rainbows and butterflies. I realized the best part about my relationship is that I can tell my partner anything. I can tell her when I’m not really feeling it, or when I need something different, or when I’m not excited, and neither of us take it as a threat to our relationship. It’s just the truth. I’m really grateful for someone I can be that honest with. Relationships naturally get more predictable, and things can get boring, but when you stick it out, that love gets deeper and safer and way juicier. This is a realistic love song for all the people in long term relationships.”
Creating an undeniably genre-busting sound all her own, corook tackles deeply personal themes in her music and visuals through a unique, quirky and humorous lens. This past spring, the queer, Nashville-based musician blessed the world with her debut achoo! EP. Comprised of surprising, humorous, and insightful tracks including “idk god,” “degree,” “bad friend,” and “sims,” achoo! also includes the fan favorite, “snakes,” which she added to the EP following a series of well-received teases across social media and live performances on tour.
Next up, corook will team up with NYC-based piano pop/rock trio Jukebox the Ghost for a US tour, beginning September 28 at Philadelphia, PA’s Union Transfer and traveling through mid-October. Tickets can be found HERE and dates are listed below.
