Taylor Rae has shared the bluesy new single Cologne which features on upcoming album The Void.
The Austin based singer/songwriter has released the track alongside an official video featuring behind the-scenes-footage of work on the new album. The new single addresses lust and longing with a gritty, bluesy feel.
Taylor Rae will release her new album The Void on 18 April. The album marks the follow-up to her 2021 debut Mad Twenties. It promises the most personal songs she has penned to date, celebrating the contradictory and complementary parts of the human experience and dark corners. Sonically it is expected to deliver a mix of roots-rock, modern folk, alternative, blues and Americana.

Speaking about the track and how it fits in to the album Taylor Rae said, “This is one of the lighter songs on the album, a little breath of fresh air. The image I get is putting on a partner’s t-shirt, taking in the distinctive aroma, and dancing around your apartment to a new song that you love, only because they showed it to you. It eases the discomfort of missing them. The song is simply about being turned on by the unique smell of your partner. Smell is a sense not often written about, but it resonates deeply, especially for people in long-distance relationships or those who spend a lot of time away from home.”
Cologne follows the release of fellow album track Maybe I’m The Villain, a self-reflective look through an opposite lens.
