Avery Cochrane, an up-and-coming singer-songwriter, has just released her new single "Shapeshifting on a Saturday Night" a track that hits you right in the feels while glowing with vibrant energy. Known for her heartfelt performances and easygoing presence while performing live in Seattle, Cochrane has successfully brought that same emotional honesty into her studio work. "Shapeshifting on a Saturday Night" captures the exhausting experience of trying to be everything for everyone while feeling like you've lost your sense of self along the way.
Cochrane's voice shines bright, cutting through the noise like a spotlight in a crowded room. The song captures the mixed emotions of a night out, while everything seems fun and exciting on the surface, a more profound feeling of grief and uncertainty lies underneath. The title reflects the struggle of someone trying to fit in while feeling lost and adrift. Cochrane portrays a character who has tried hard to adjust and maintain appearances, all while feeling fragile inside. "Shapeshifting on a Saturday Night" is honest, and it doesn't shout about its feelings, rather, it shares them openly. Cochrane embraces her openness, creating a gentle pop song that perfectly balances feelings of sadness and longing. The production behind her voice is rich and airy, supporting her story without overpowering it. It evokes the feeling of driving home late after a party, when you're left alone with your thoughts and realize that people only see the version of you that you've allowed them to see.
However, Cochrane is confronting her feelings head-on. It's like a moment of self-reflection that deserves applause. The depth of her songwriting lingers with you long after you finish listening.
