Steph Clifford’s new single Cocoon is a slow-burning, soul-baring introduction to her debut album of the same name—an intimate, emotionally charged track that captures the ache of letting go and the quiet resilience it takes to start again. With lyrics that feel like pages torn from a journal, Cocoon explores the liminal space between endings and rebirth—where grief, hope, and clarity all coexist.
Produced by Leon Power (City and Colour, Frazey Ford) and recorded at Vancouver’s Afterlife Studios with John Raham, Cocoon is sonically rich yet spacious, layering warm guitar tones, ambient textures, and Clifford’s luminous vocals into a song that lingers long after it ends. It’s the kind of track that doesn’t demand attention—it gently holds it, drawing the listener in with quiet intensity and emotional precision.
Both deeply personal and universally felt, Cocoon sets the stage for Clifford’s forthcoming album, out summer 2025—a collection shaped by solitude, transformation, and the power of staying soft in a hard world. With this single, she isn’t just introducing a record—she’s opening the door to an honest, vulnerable, and beautifully human listening experience.
