The music of Pennsylvania-born and Berklee College of Music-educated pop auteur corook ranges across the stylistic map, but a consistent vision comes through on every track. Their polymathic pop mastery makes their first full-length Committed to a Bit a primer on how to create catchy, humanistic music that’s both droll and filled with emotion. Their take on post-Prince funk, “Blankets,” comes across as clearly as the advanced songwriting techniques of “Death,” which might be corook’s most affecting track to date. Committed to a Bit is as addictive and chewy as the best pop, and corook stands as one of the most inventive songwriters and producers working now.
