Cobrah – Torn
Experimental pop provocateur Cobrah shares her newalbumTorn via Atlantic Records.Torn was written and creative directed entirely by Cobrah herself, the record fuses stark emotional exposure with provocative, cinematic grandeur and explosive production. Torn stands as a striking self-portrait; visceral, theatrical, and unapologetically bold.
Speaking about the album Cobrah shares, “With Torn, I am way more ‘me’ as a person, the songs pull from my real life. It’s a little bit scary. I love doing characters. I love making things up and being extreme – and I’m still doing that on this album – but I’m also peeling it all off and presenting my real self as a character.”
Alongside the album release Cobrah shares a new music video for her single “Dog.” The video features Cobrah stepping into a mud bath alongside two large Doberman dogs.
Torn features the previously released singles “Dog”, “Hush” and “Torn.”
Torn was written and creative directed entirely by Cobrah herself, matching her most vulnerable songwriting yet with cutting vignettes of provocative grandeur and high-impact production.
Torn sees Cobrah stretching herself vocally, an even sultrier evolution from the sexy sing-speak she showcased on earlier bangers that goes hand-in-hand with her newfound emotional vulnerability. “I have a melodic language that I haven’t used before until now,” Cobrah says. “Before it was too personal for me to show it, I didn’t feel strong enough.” With her exacting sense of curation, Cobrah invited back her trusted collaborators Isac Hördegård and Hannes Roovers, whom she’s been working with since her debut 2019 single “IDFKA”- while also branching out by working with the likes of Illangelo (the Canadian producer best known for his work with the Weeknd), Machinedrum (the longtime California experimentalist), and Tove Burman (who co-wrote Rosalía and Lisa’s hit “New Woman”).
To celebrate the upcoming album release Cobrah is heading on a North American and European tour. The tour begins at the end of the month with Treefort Fest in Boise Idaho and continues on to Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Austin, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, New York and more before heading across the pond to London, Berlin and Paris in May. Cobrah will also be making her debut Coachella performance this April.
