A bittersweet ode to unrequited love, Crissi Cochrane's 2021 single "Why" tells the story of a mysterious and star-crossed love,  blending Crissi's soulful delivery with her emotional storytelling. Producers Mike Hargreaves and Dane Roberts embellish the song's landscape with horn swells, twinkling pianos, and a searing guitar solo: the perfect arena for Crissi's soaring vocals to take flight. Album artwork by Delaney Beaudoin.

Celebrating the second anniversary of her 2020 album Heirloom, pop/soul singer-songwriter Crissi Cochrane returns with an intimate new version of her song  "Just Friends", stripped down to its jazzy essentials.
