A Metaphorical Pillow to Cry On: Coor Brow-Obles’ Greedo (I Still Believe in Love) Offers Comfort and Catharsis

"This is a saudade song written after a breakup". These are the words of Connor Nobles, a Kent-based artist who performs under the moniker Coor Brow-Obles. The tune he's speaking of is Greedo (I Still Believe in Love), his sonically upbeat and jangly new offering. Raw, emotive, and deeply personal, it's a track that finds a bittersweet beauty in refusing to give up on love.

Described by the artist as "a metaphorical pillow to cry on," Greedo is driven by a buoyant rhythm that brings to mind the likes of The Smiths or The Ocean Blue. It also contains some stunning violin work and punchy drums that provide the perfect balance between sadness and a strangely comforting energy.

Sure, Coor Brow-Obles is not the first to juxtapose a heartbreaking story with an uplifting and hopeful soundtrack, but there's just something about the way he's done it that truly speaks to me. There's an honesty scattered throughout the tune that simply can't be ignored.

Serving as the latest single from his upcoming crowdfunded album Missi_g, Greedo is a glimpse into a musician unafraid of baring his soul. And, at the end of the day, isn't that what it's all about?
