Upcoming Album, “Midnight Call,” from Singer-songwriter Michael Cooke
For his upcoming release, Midnight Call, singer-songwriter Michael Cooke offers necessary storytelling about change and acceptance, especially prevalent on his lead single “Around Here.” With Michael Cooke’s earlier releases, including his 2020 album Doin Alright, his newest album stays true to his acoustic indie style that stylistically complements his singing.
“Around Here” utilizes simple acoustic instrumentation to convey a message of longing for the past with an optimistic tint. This relaxing lead single is a great song to help anyone trying to cope and come to terms with our ever-changing environment and society while maintaining a hope for the future.
“So many people let life pass them by and get caught up in group identity because they are scared of knowing themselves. I think once you start down the road of knowing yourself there’s no going back and let’s be honest it’s pretty terrifying you see a lot of things about yourself you don’t like and it’s very hard to ignore.” – Michael Cooke
Aside from solely writing and performing music, Michael Cooke has been featured in Netflix films and television shows, one of which is set to air on television in the very near future. Michael Cooke clearly works hard to achieve his dreams, regardless of the medium, and continues to push the boundaries of what it means for a man to do it all.
Don’t forget to check out Michael Cooke on social media and Spotify and be on the lookout for Midnight Call, which will be released on June 16th!
