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.

Lyrics:

Look in the mirror,
what do you see?
I see the most pretty thing
my eye’s ever seen
You’re like a star above our heads,
shine so bright from millions of miles away

There’s nothing to hide,
there’s nothing to be ashamed of
people say what they need to say
but don’t you care
no no no no no

Oh my, Oh my,
You look so fine
I can not look away,
Oh my, Oh my,
Blowing me away
like a hurricane

Walk down the street
with your head held high
keeping those haters
out of your sight,
Judgmental looks
they don’t go so far
you know you know

There’s nothing to hide,
there’s nothing to be ashamed of
people say what they need to say
but don’t you care
no no no no no

Oh my, Oh my,
You look so fine
I can not look away,
Oh my, Oh my,
Blowing me away
like a hurricane

There’s no formula to be
pretty in quotations,
you can’t see it but 
you’re limited edition
don’t you dare let others tell 
you who to be

Oh my, Oh my,
you look so fine
i cant look away
Oh my, Oh my,
blowing me away
like a hurricane
Oh my, Oh my,
you look so fine
i cant look away
Oh my, Oh my,
blowing me away
like a hurricane

To Bloom

All I Feel is Love

Some Nerve

Patiently

Crissi Cochrane's sultry, soulful music is an original blend that honours her East Coast singer-songwriter roots and her abiding love of jazz, retro pop, and classic soul. Often compared to the likes of Billie Holiday, Norah Jones, and Sade, Crissi's musicality is delicate, profound, and timeless.

With her breakout 2014 album Little Sway going viral worldwide, recording and performing artist Crissi Cochrane has become a household name in Windsor, Ontario: beloved for her silky vocals, expert songwriting, and fierce musicianship. ​​In a career spanning more than a decade, beginning with her debut recording at Chicago's SOMA Studios featuring drums by Mike Kinsella (AKA Owen) in 2010, Crissi has earned her place in Canada’s independent music industry, charting nationally on Earshot!, opening for Buffy Sainte Marie and Walk Off The Earth, showcasing at CMW and the Junos, and receiving frequent airplay on CBC Radio nationwide. Her self-managed career has brought her a placement in the TV show Nashville, a collaboration with Bono's ONE Campaign, and also a TEDx talk. Between her day-to-day life as an artist, wife, and mother, Crissi is also the co-founder of the Windsor music label, Soul City Music Co-op.
