Al Cologne is a London based artist whose songs balance vulnerability with a subtle, reserved confidence. Their debut EP, arriving March 2026 via Joy of Life International, was produced by Benjamin Woods (<a href="spotify:artist:5HS4BCPnb2zYSwsmXunf8d" data-name="The Golden Dregs">The Golden Dregs</a>) and introduces a diaristic, kitchen-sink songwriting voice that is unflinching in its intimacy emotional heft. These are songs about identity, control, and transformation; about trying to inhabit your own body, and then trying again the day following.
“I think a lot of the songs come from emotional states I don’t fully understand until after I’ve written them. They’re closer to processing, trying to track where I’ve been, and what I’m carrying.” That tendency toward self-examination is a thread that runs through the EP, which evolved from years of half-formed voice notes and personal writing. “I started to see it as a way to connect - with myself and with other people.”
Cologne’s music is rooted in tone and feeling. Their work is conversational and deeply observant, weaving personal history into something spacious and universal. “I want it to feel real. If something’s messy, I let it be messy.”
The arrangements are fluid and unfussy, with space left open for the lyrics to land. In that sense, Cologne’s music finds common ground with artists like <a href="spotify:artist:6mKqFxGMS5TGDZI3XkT5Rt" data-name="Angel Olsen">Angel Olsen</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2wJ4vsxWd7df7dRU4KcoDe" data-name="Sharon Van Etten">Sharon Van Etten</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5QdyldG4Fl4TPiOIeMNpBZ" data-name="Big Thief">Big Thief</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3l0CmX0FuQjFxr8SK7Vqag" data-name="Clairo">Clairo</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5szilpXHcwOqnyKLqGco5j" data-name="Faye Webster">Faye Webster</a>, though they move in their own lane entirely.
Their debut single is released September 23, 2025.
