Strangely In Tune
Happy Go Fish, 2026
9/10
The prolific Atlanta singer-songwriter Diane Coll continues her therapeutic songwriting, where these 13 new songs revolve around life and death and welcome Jonny Daly, Robin Vincent, John Speaks, Greg Wright and Erica Holloway.
“Better Fly Me Right” starts with Coll’s warm acoustic guitar and expressive voice alongside Daly’s cozy percussion, and “In And Out Of Time” follows with Vincent’s well timed harmonica that suits the cozy storytelling via the reflective mood.
Moving towards the middle, “Disappear” enlists Speaks’ drums and Wright’s bass to the more dense moment that’s strong on atmosphere, while “Porcupine” recruits Holloway’s graceful cello for the lush and thoughtful climate.
The title track arrives late and allows for Coll’s poetic singing to align with dream-pop nods, and “Dream Away” exits with mature piano and layered vocals that finish in a haze of beauty.
An often ethereal effort, the songs are quite personal, where Coll blends folk, pop, and rock into an introspective and healing energy that draws us in.
Travels well with: Diane Coll- Up From The Mud; Diane Coll- Old Ghosts
