The Coo - “Something’s Turned”
The Coo have just released the gorgeous retro-tinged indie-folk love song “Something’s Turned.” The lush vocal harmonies and warm, analogue hues of pop, folk, and Americana will leave you enchanted.
The lyrics of “Something’s Turned” revolve around a couple beginning to notice the little shifts in their relationship and realizing that change has subtly swept into their love story. The introspective lyrics are complemented by an intimate arrangement centred around gentle acoustic guitar. These mellow tones are dynamically utilized, allowing a sense of ebb and flow and intimacy to permeate the composition.
As the song progresses, more layers are thoughtfully applied. Dreamy electric guitar tones create a sense of movement and reflection with splashes of expressive texture. Warm bass is applied to provide a deep foundation, as subtle organ is allowed to pad the song, heightening the meditative atmosphere.
The intimate vocals on “Something’s Turned” are the true highlight of the track. The interplay of the harmonizing male and female voices permeate a sense of rich sweetness. When the track approaches the final third, the vocals lead a gorgeous transformation in the composition’s melody. The resulting performance is simply spellbinding.
“Something’s Turned” is a captivating slice of nostalgic indie folk by The Coo. The vocals blend magically over the warm, intimate musical textures. This is the first of several new songs slated for release in 2024, and “Something’s Turned” leads the way for The Coo’s new album, scheduled for release next October.
