Riven Cole

Some songwriters need a studio. Riven Cole's songs sound like they were written in the passenger seat at 1 a.m., phone on four percent, with a draft that never gets sent.

Paper Plates is the late-teen chapter: hoodie weather, neon on the dashboard and a heart left on read ("Hoodie Season," "Neon on the Dashboard," "Left on Read (Still Waiting)," "Drafts I Never Sent"). Metaphors grows up a little, learning to stay and learning to let go ("Learning to Stay," "The Art of Letting Go," "Ghost in the Group Chat," "Running Late to Myself"). Wandering finally walks it off ("Just Walking," "Late Night Drives," "Learning to Breathe"), toward whoever is waiting on the other side of all of it ("The Man I'm Becoming," "Not the Boy You Knew").

Soft-spoken pop for anyone still figuring it out, from Wavelight Records, Squaredrum's pop label, made under human creative direction with AI-assisted music.
