New York City songwriter Coco Smith releases her latest album, You Won’t Get My Message but You’ll Hear It, via VHS Records.
Throughout the album, Coco explores the desire to overcome life’s obstacles, describing it as “triumph, despite”. At its heart, You Won’t Get My Message but You’ll Hear It is about finding hope and strength through life’s struggles.
‘Multiform’ is the title track without being the title of the album. Built on simmering tension and restrained anger, the song captures the feeling of wanting to be heard.
“‘You Won’t Get My Message but You’ll Hear It’ is a line in ‘Multiform’ that I think sums up the whole album pretty well. It’s the idea of feeling like you’re screaming into the ether and getting nothing back, only to realize that someone really is listening. No matter what, someone is listening and woe is not you anymore. The music has been treated with all the care in the world, which is all I ever wished for but had trouble receiving for a while.”
