"Cobb-Vialet’s theatrical training shows...While the song sports the bold melodies of a Broadway number, Cobb-Vialet twists the form into a clever, complex pop composition."
About Caitlin's debut album 𝘌𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘝𝘰𝘪𝘥, out now:
"Expertly crafted pop-leaning narratives that echo the tuneful and complex arrangements of artists such as Sia and Regina Spektor, while leaning hard into a deep personal lyrical style."

Thanks to MAGNET Magazine for this wonderful piece on Caitlin Cobb-Vialet this morning, accompanied by the long-awaited premiere of the video for her epic tune "Disco Ball" which, despite any grains of salt one may take from my constant effusive praise, is actually better than I say!
And now you SEE the song. It's a VIDEO. Go over there NOW.
Hobart Rowland says, "With a voice that’s as malleable and conversational as it is riveting and unconventional, the 25-year-old singer/songwriter has invited comparisons to Regina Spektor and Fiona Apple with 𝘌𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘝𝘰𝘪𝘥 (War Chant), a surprisingly poised, brutally honest debut that blows by in just 26 minutes."
In the San Francisco Chronicle, venerable scribe Adrian Spinelli says that if Caitlin Cobb-Vialet "reminds you of Regina Spektor, then your ears are working," and that there is "an Andrew Bird-like dramedy built into her songwriting that makes you smile and reverberate with emotion."
Huge, if true. And it is!

CLOUT says: "There is an air of authenticity and candid honesty that bleeds through the work of Caitlin Cobb-Vialet thanks to the sincerity of her powerful vocals, even when writing about women from the 4th and 15th centuries."
I admit, I had to educate myself a bit on the history of fourth century martyred saint Catherine of Alexandria, to talk about this song. I'm glad I did, because, as Clout observes, Caitlin’s new single “Joan To Catherine” is “the latest example of a songwriting powerhouse flexing the depth and variety of her prowess and managing to make a wide range of scenarios feel deathly important and vital." Her debut LP, 𝘌𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘝𝘰𝘪𝘥, is out May 6 via War Chant Records. Click for your life!
I went upstate yesterday and was taking a selfie with friends when a random woman walked into the frame. She fit perfectly, so I said, "Be in it with us!" She got weirded out and the final photo looks like she is trying to crawl inside herself.
When Caitlin Cobb-Vialet walks into frame in the video for her new single "Joan To Catherine," she confidently invites Joan of Arc and Saint Catherine to be in it with us. Caitlin sings of "faith and religion standing in for love and purpose."
In its premiere coverage, Americana Highways says the video "Conjures a medieval setting right out of a natural locale... Cobb-Vialet’s songs create the powerful feel of desperation that confronts us all too often." Click for your life!
This is Americana UK writing about "Ask Me" by Caitlin Cobb-Vialet today: "Feels immediately familiar. A gorgeously tuneful but conversational style that feels like she is baring her soul to you."
And here is the site writing about the song's music video, noting that the footage of "Cobb-Vialet at her piano appearing to play and sing so naturally, so effortlessly, [is] like an intimate conversation with the viewer."
Do yourself a favor and give this gorgeous gem your time. You will say, "Hey, I'm glad I did that thing Josh said to do!" Debut LP 𝘌𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘝𝘰𝘪𝘥 is due May 6 via War Chant Records.
"The song finds Caitlin Cobb-Vialet at her beloved piano, reminiscent of early Regina Spektor, as she plucks out rich chords to accompany her soaring, heartfelt vocals... that feeling of closeness, described beautifully throughout the track... is punctuated by the feeling that this love is ultimately fleeting."
