Nashville-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, corook has released their new single, “emergency contact“. The track is taken from their upcoming EP, serious person (part 2), the eagerly anticipated second installment of their serious person project, arriving on Friday, September 22. Listen to the track now below.
“‘emergency contact’ is the introduction to a new funky character-driven corner of corook,” says corook. “The song itself plays like a conversation between me and my whimsical friends cheering me on to go for the girl of my dreams. it’s about the time in my adulthood that i started prioritizing myself and my happiness. i finally trusted myself to pick a partner that was good to me and for me and thus began my journey to find my emergency contact. it is the first single off of my EP, ‘serious person (part 2),’ which will lean more into the bouncy and energetic side of corook while still covering serious topics.”
corook will celebrate the serious person project and much more with the serious person tour, their first-ever North American headline run getting underway September 5 with a sold-out show at Atlanta, GA’s Vinyl and then traveling through mid-October. Highlights include shows at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom (September 14), Nashville, TN’s The Blue Room at Third Man Records (September 23), and Los Angeles, CA’s The Roxy in LA (October 7), as well as festival performances at Raleigh, NC’s Hopscotch Music Festival (September 8), Kerrville, TX’s Welcome Home Festival (October 14), and Austin, TX’s Austin City Limits Music Festival (October 15). Tickets are available now.
From there, corook will cross the Atlantic for a major EU/UK tour, kicking off with a special guest run supporting Bombay Bicycle Club making stops in Spain, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, France, Poland, Belgium, and the Netherlands. corook will then head to the UK and Ireland for their own eagerly anticipated headline tour, including sold-out shows at Birmingham, England’s O2 Institute3 Birmingham (December 2) and Bristol, England’s Exchange (December 5).
