Who is Cosima? Saw her listed on a new R&B list somewhere, gave her new ep a spin -- it's really really good! Her voice is unique in this space, literally: lower register, a bit unpolished, very emotive and immediate yet subtle at the same time.

Eager to listen again.

First line of the first song: "the first time I kicked you out the whole block was watching" -- that's just solid songwriting.

PHILLY is a strange break-up-to-find-new-love song where expected lines veer shift unexpectedly: "crying while we're breaking up/ but only cause it's what i'm suppposed to/do when someone says it's done/even if it's what I wanted"

and a great hook: "and i wonder if he drove to Philly just to see me/i wonder if he'd drive to Philly just to see me"

The production is unique too: PHILLY has some standard trap elements but is also really smart by incorporating vocals directly into the beat and smartly incorporates strings as an almost percussive element.

Need to spend more time but I need to go back and listen to more from her. Recommend a listen for sure!
