Setting the tone with textured drums and a dimensional synthscape, Piper Cole opens Oh Honey with luscious, atmospheric vocals and introspective lyricism. The opus expands with intricate percussion including immersive guitars to create a cohesive tapestry of sound. We deeply appreciate the sonic universe that Piper Cole with her poetic prowess and depth.
We learn that Oh Honey is designed “to be a song of comfort to us all.” The rising artist from North Vancouver confesses, “It’s been a heartbreaking and confusing time in the world as of late. It can feel like the weight is pulling you down and swallowing you up. If we search for helpers, rest in kindness and look to the stillness of nature, then maybe we don’t need to keep running. Adjusting to the strain, the strong river bends itself into new forms.”
The wisdom that Piper Cole shares with her message and lyricism is tangible. As an emerging Canadian female electronic music producer, Piper Cole offers a unique electro-folk sound, combing her experience as a classically trained soprano and her real life experience.
It is no surprise that Piper has been compared to Agnes Obel, Active Child, and Kate Bush, but it is clear that she is creating a cathartic and transcendental universe of her own.
Oh Honey marks the start of a series of singles to be released now and into 2023 that are unified by the artist’s desire to “put out a message of forging ahead, building resilience and resting in your inner knowing as we heal the wounds of the world by beginning within.”
We have added the cathartic opus to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Piper Cole‘s wider discography including Bones, Soul Eyes and Paragon.
