News and articles about Windsor, Ontaro's pop/soul singer-songwriter Crissi Cochrane.
PAST MEDIA
“Crissi’s pitch-perfect, elegant voice, is both spellbinding and inspiring.”
“Cochrane’s most recent album showcases a confident bridge towards sultry soul and classic, smoky jazz, the influence of Motown being just a riverbank away from Windsor. For fans of Ella Fitzgerald, Coeur de Pirate or Sarah Harmer.”
“The hooks come big and strong, and Cochrane glows on top of it all. Punchy drums and cool-as-a-breeze horns take us back to three-minute pop glory. Motown is definitely in the air. At the core is delightful songwriting, with an appreciation of melodic love songs and sophisticated lyrics.”
“She could sing the phone book and I’d listen.”
“With a firmly established reputation and years of experience behind her, ‘Black Wasp’ stands as a clear reflection of Crissi Cochrane’s artistic growth, revealing a depth and versatility that extend well beyond expectations and fully justify the recognition she has earned.”
“The [Annapolis] Valley girl sounds like [Jill] Barber’s younger sister, with a nostalgic, folksy voice that’s wise beyond her years.”
“Don’t let her sweet folk-pop fool you; singer-songwriter Crissi Cochrane is a workhorse.”
“She switched the countless bars and unheard voices of the Maritimes for the countless bars and unheard voices of Windsor, easily fitting in with her honest story telling and hard work. Shortly after her arrival, she co-founded an open mic/arts & crafts bazaar at The FM Lounge, and immediately won over an often fickle music scene with some fantastic pop folk songs that showed a story telling beyond her years.”
“With a voice like sunshine, Crissi’s lyrics soar over a playful backdrop of brass, piano and (naturally) guitars. Sweet and welcoming, this track is just another example of how Crissi Cochrane is earning her place among Canada’s great pop singer/songwriters.”
