On her latest single ‘Angel‘, Glasgow singer-songwriter Cortnë deftly captures the pangs of unrequited love.
Her gentle vocals breathe a raw vulnerability over hushed acoustic guitar lines. Yet the melancholic lyrics avoid maudlin tropes, showing wisdom as she reflects on romantic idealisation.
There’s a notable sincerity to Cortnë’s songwriting as she mourns a partner who left her behind for another. But ‘Angel‘ finds comfort in the beauty of fleeting connection, transforming pain into gracious acceptance.
Beneath the delicate folk-pop sheen lies an emotional maturity and resonant message of letting go. With its bittersweet blend of melodic hooks and intimate storytelling, ‘Angel‘ heralds the arrival of a promising new talent. Cortnë probes the poetry of everyday heartbreak, marking this wonderfully relatable.
