Kokoonn’s “All Over Again” feels like it has been sitting in the back of my brain all along — quietly brewing like coffee on a slow Sunday. It doesn’t knock on the door; it’s already inside, making itself at home.
Unfurling with the unhurried grace of linen drying in the breeze, “All Over Again” leans into folk-rooted pop-rock with both arms open and eyes half-closed. It carries the warm hush of waking up somewhere quiet — somewhere with wooden shutters and the faint smell of espresso — while digging into something much deeper. There’s a heaviness in the lyrics that speaks to emotional burnout, but it’s worn lightly, delivered with a softness that doesn’t ask for attention, just understanding. Kokoonn’s voice is rich but never showy, like someone telling you a secret they’ve been sitting on for years.
Beneath the gentleness, there’s a subtle pulse: a quiet resolve taking shape. It’s in the careful layering of guitar, bass, and drums, and in the quiet confidence of the melody. “All Over Again” was born from a low place — that spiral of pessimism Kokoonn speaks of — but instead of wallowing, it begins building something new. That’s the trick of it: the track gives you comfort without sugarcoating. It’s hopeful, not because it promises everything will be fine, but because it sounds like someone figuring out that it might be.
About Kokoonn:
This is the final single before the release of her debut EP, “Unfolding“, and the title couldn’t feel more fitting. Kokoonn — the project of Salento-born, Bologna-based Giulia Tedesco — has been growing quietly but steadily. From stripped-back guitar-and-voice beginnings, she’s expanded into richer sonic territory without losing that confessional closeness. “Unfolding” arrives today via Factory Flaws, and if this single is any hint, it’s less of a coming-out and more of a quiet blooming. No fanfare, just truth — and the courage to start from there.
