The track is just the third single from one of our favourite new artists.
Vulnerable, intimate and poignant indie pop has become something of a staple for Cora Rebel, with her soft vocals and heartfelt storytelling making her first free singles all into immersive stories of their own that unfold in captivating fashion.
The latest of these is the artist’s nostalgic and thoughtful ‘When We Were 18’, a track that compellingly pulls on your heart strings while building to a cathartic, punchy chorus that packs a really resounding emotional sense of power. The narrative encompasses the night that that Cora’s best friend saved her life, and what that moment means to the artist, and this is perfectly echoed by the euphoric nature of the sound as it builds, and the effortlessly transfixing nature of its moving, anthemic, hopeful nature.
