Rising Star COOKIE. Makes A Huge Impression On Latest Single “Bite The Bullet”
German-born, New York-raised singer, songwriter, producer and dancer COOKIE. brings a versatile sweetness that packs a powerful punch. Since arriving on the scene in 2019, she has dazzled with a series of stunning releases and has struck up a great creative partnership with Grammy Award-winning producer Brasstracks with tracks such as “After A While” and “Green Season”. And they’ve teamed up once again for COOKIE.’s new single, “Bite The Bullet”.
Infused with catchy melodies, a memorable hook and a classic-sounding groovy R&B production, the track is another impressive offering by the emerging artist and will surely propel her rise in the music scene even further. COOKIE. has no plans of slowing down anytime soon either, with more singles and an EP on the horizon, so she’ll be one to watch for the rest of the year.
Speaking further on the new release, COOKIE. says, “I wrote the track and then co-produced it with Brasstracks. The song is about my indecisiveness and things I deal with a lot of the time that tend to lead me to much anxiety. So, to make me feel stronger in recognising those feelings and issues of self-sabotage, I personified the feeling of never making my mind up into a really bad relationship. After all, it is a bad relationship with myself anyways.” “Bite The Bullet” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://ffm.to/btbcookie.

Plain Mister Smith returns with Bric-À-Brac Attack, a beautifully offbeat collection of indie-folk, pop and atmospheric songwriting. Released via Amelia Records, the album finds the Vancouver and London-based multi-hyphenate turning fragments of memory, relationships and everyday absurdity into something quietly cinematic.
At its centre is “Grindavik”, a shimmering, reflective track inspired by the Icelandic town shaped by recent volcanic activity. Bright acoustic guitars and steady drums carry a constantly shifting chord progression, mirroring the song’s central metaphor of a relationship under pressure and the hope that its fissures can eventually heal. Featuring Jordan Klassen and Kitt, the track captures the emotional tension that runs throughout the album.
Elsewhere, Bric-À-Brac Attack moves effortlessly between playful guitar-driven moments, lush arrangements and more introspective passages. “Miss Sunshine” brings infectious energy, while collaborations with Findlay Brown, Leeroy Stagger, Krystle Dos Santos and Tyson Mostenbocher add colour to an already eclectic record.
Former guitarist of Canadian darkwave band Moev and a cellist with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, Plain Mister Smith brings an unusually broad musical perspective to his songwriting. Yet Bric-a-Brac attack never feels overly calculated. Instead, it has the charm of something discovered rather than constructed.
Warm, strange, melodic and emotionally searching, Bric-À-Brac Attack is a record that rewards getting lost in its details. Plain Mister Smith may remain deliberately mysterious, but the music itself speaks with remarkable clarity.
