On July 12th, Chris Cohen will release Paint a Room, his fourth full-length and debut effort for Hardly Art. Sublime and sunlit, this collection of 10 songs considers dreamy new ways out of old predicaments, clearly stating the problem and dancing and singing their way somewhere new.

Following the subversively melodious opener and lead single, “Damage,” comes the illuminating new song, “Sunever.” Cohen wrote “Sunever” for a transgender child in his life while considering the difficulties that hard-and-fast categories can create. This song reminds us that we are “always in between” and that transitions are just a part of life. With the hook, he sweetly sings his vow: “You’re gonna find a way.” Cohen is tender and vulnerable in the lead, his voice cracking with feeling as the tune presses forward toward a better future.

Additionally, Chris Cohen has announced live shows in support of his forthcoming album.
