Seattle-based alt pop riser Avery Cochrane is quickly making a name for herself with her witty lyrics, infectious songwriting and arena-worthy choruses. After last year's smash hit "Shapeshifting on a Saturday Night", Avery returns with her latest banger "Griever".
With "Griever", Avery Cochrane pens a song that explores the delayed aftermath of an unexpected encounter with someone from the past, the kind that resurfaces old wounds long after the moment has passed. Lyrics including, "You used to be my leader / And I was your believer / 3 years gone, but I’m 10 years weaker / How dare you think to bring her?", captures that retroactive rage and sorrow with striking clarity. She delivers lines that feel both sharply specific and universally relatable.
Musically, "Griever" Cochrane leans further into her gift for pairing emotional candor with glossy, infectious alt-pop production. The track pulses with upbeat momentum while carrying the weight of unresolved pain, transforming personal reckoning into a cathartic pop release. Her vocals float confidently over shimmering synths and driving rhythms, striking a balance between melancholy and empowerment that feels tailor-made for late-nights and repeat listens alike.
The accompanying music video mirrors the song’s emotional undercurrent with cinematic flair, placing Avery Cochrane at the center of a visual narrative that reflects inner confrontation and release. She is in a photo booth online as she traverses the city with her friends. It’s a fitting companion to a track that underscores her evolution as both a songwriter and visual storyteller.
With an upcoming EP on the horizon and festival stages like SXSW ahead, “Griever” solidifies Avery Cochrane once again as one to watch!
