Kira Cottle

Our LISTEN LIVE playlist showcases songs from some of our favourite artists that you can watch performing live in the upcoming weeks.

Today’s addition to LISTEN LIVE is 9 Days by Kira Cottle.

Hailing from the North of England, Kira Cottle weaves delicate, melancholic melodies with candid, sometimes sarcastic lyrics, capturing both the vulnerability of heartbreak and the absurdity of it all. Whether she’s baring her soul or winking at her audience with tongue-in-cheek satire, each track feels deeply personal and refreshingly clever. Heavily inspired by the emotive intimacy of Elliot Smith, and raw honesty Olivia Rodrigo, Kira delves into themes like sex, love, and heartbreak, while also poking fun at her own emotions with cheeky spoof songs that offer a lighthearted counterpoint to her more earnest fare.
