In The Spotlight

Christian Cohle – “Living With Lucy”

Born in Dublin, this Irish singer and songwriter grew up in a household where music was always playing. Immersed by the sounds of David Bowie, Pink Floyd and Peter Gabriel, a sonic seed was planted early. After school he began performing at open mic nights, before studying music at the BIMM in Dublin. Since then he’s played festivals such as 2000Trees and venues like The Workman’s Club. Inspired by James Blake, Talk Talk and The War On Drugs, he released his debut “Breathe” in 2020.

Exploring a love that still lingers even after a relationship concludes, his new single is a multi-layered auditory trip. Rooted in an 80s post-wave nostalgia, the song is enriched with a sunlit vigor. With punchy drums, soaring analogue synths and swelling strings, the wistful tune forges a cinematic atmosphere. And with his multifaceted vocals ranging from warm and intimate to Bryan Ferry-touched passion, this bittersweet groove is filled with raw intensity and sun-soaked energy.

Maddie Zahm – “Everything All The Time”

Hailing from Boise, this singer and songwriter grew up in a devout Christian environment, which led to her becoming a youth worship leader aged 13. In this role she also learned to sing and play the guitar. At 19 she was a contestant on Season 16 of American Idol and made it to the showcase round. Since she’s played venues like Bowery Ballroom and Bush Hall and opened for P!nk. Inspired by Janis Joplin, Noah Kahan and Lady Gaga, she released her debut “Beautifully Human” in 2018.

Singing about hyper-empathy in an overwhelming world, her new single captures the sometimes crushing weight of feeling emotions too deeply and navigating that in a world of political and social despair. Taken from her upcoming, same-titled album, expected on September 25th, the song sonically mirrors the stages of a panic attack. From the delicate piano representing loneliness to a climax of sweeping guitars, booming drums and dynamic vocals, this tune is a cathartic journey.
