Multiple WAM Award winning artist Siobhan Cotchin has returned, serving fans a brand new track in the emotionally charged ‘Ghost Of Us’. Continuing to show elevation in songwriting and performance, the latest from Cotchin further proves her status as one of Australia’s most exciting young names.
Built on a foundation of honest lyricism and striking melodies and instrumentation, ‘Ghost Of Us’ focuses on the feelings of being strung along in a relationship; the attachment to someone who you know should be let go. Through Cotchin’s raw delivery, the listener gets the emotional impact of the song instantly.
Co-written with Timothy Nelson and recorded at Debaser Studios, ‘Ghost Of Us’ is a strong follow up to Cotchin’s previous release for 2024, ‘Too Good To Be True’.
“I brought the idea to him (I just had the first verse and chorus) and we started out playing it as a ballad, but then it quickly escalated into an angry pop-rock anthem. I feel like this track has a nostalgic 90s rock quality to it but I also wanted to make sure it felt modern and of course, authentic.
However, when I was writing it, I really didn’t know where it came from. But now, having the experiences I do, the meaning has become a lot clearer and more relevant to me. I feel like we write songs just for them to come true, like a self-fulfilling prophecy. No wonder I’m so unlucky in love.” SIOBHAN COTCHIN
Cotchin’s music has been able to connect with national audiences in recent years largely due to her powerful presence as a live performer – touring the country as a headliner and also supporting some incredible Australian and international names. Along with lucrative performances at events including BIGSOUND and Laneway Festival, Cotchin has toured arenas with Matchbox Twenty and Goo Goo Dolls; as well as sharing stages with Leon Bridges, Thelma Plum, The Teskey Brothers, The Whitlams and more.
‘Ghost Of Us’ is out Tuesday November 19th
