Live Review: cookii returns with upbeat new single, 'Our Love'

Mysterious pop project cookii broke onto the scene with a strong catalogue of epic singles, melting dystopic pop beats with pop-punk and industrial experimentation. As the project evolved, audiences were enthralled by cookii's mystery, focussing on broad influences and multidisciplinary artistic vision. These factors have combined to see the project thrive over the last year. Today, they've released their first single since the release of their 2020 debut mixtape, 'Blossom'. It's titled, 'Our Love' and comes shortly after the announcement of cookii's singing to new label, Coalesce, alongside Lonelyspeck and Hearteyes.

The single is drenched in upbeat and drenched in sweetness. The cheeky vocal combines perfectly with the breakbeat drum pattern. Euphoric melodies cover the track from head to toe, creating a bounce in your chair worthy product. The single arrives alongside a playful official video, providing a sneak peak into cookii's world as the project embarks on shedding the skin of anonymity.

Of the track, cookii says, "‘our love’ is in essence a song about an unrequited love. the idea of the song came from imagining a scenario where a person is so obsessed with someone over social media that they start creating a relationship in their head as a result. it’s cool that on first listen you don’t immediately understand that it’s about something a little bit sinister. trying to make it easily listenable so people can interpret it as a straight up love song but also incorporating kind of stalker vibes was a weird & fun process! this instrumental is a really exciting one too because it changes the pace from blossom and starts off this new chapter with a big smack!! let’s gooooo"
