Hey everyone! Back with another musical gem for your ears. Today, we’re diving into the world of Coos — indie folk / pop artist hailing from Utrecht, Netherlands. Her latest track, “Alter Ego,” has me hooked, and I can’t wait to share the vibes with you.
I won’t spill the beans on the meaning behind the lyrics just yet—read on for that personal touch straight from Coos. What I can tell you is that this song is a beautiful blend of silk, softness, and air. Coos’s vocals are like a delicate dance, weaving through a landscape of acoustic guitar, subtle drums, and lush synth pads.
The song takes you on a journey, starting with a calm and slightly melancholic embrace, slowly unfolding into an open and light space. And just when you think you’ve grasped the full spectrum, Coos wraps it up with a raw and intimate moment—just her voice and a guitar.
As you immerse yourself in the ethereal sounds of “Alter Ego,” Coos invites you to reflect on the mirrors in your own life and the dance between self-discovery and losing oneself in the process.
Here is a bit more info about the artist:

LYRICS
Mirrors all over my head Keep reflecting on myself Learning, observing, trying to be The best that I could be But I’m losing me instead Time is taking longer and my room keeps getting smaller The walls are coming for me With that I could be Growing without losing me I pull aself apart ‘Cause I don’t know where I want to be I’ve always been in between All my alter ego’s tell me what to do They won’t shut up until I improve All my to-do lists are undone Don’t know why I run From everything that could be fun Mirrors all over my head Keep reflecting on myself
