Avery Cochrane is “Shapeshifting on a Saturday Night” in New Single

“Shapeshifting on a Saturday Night” just might be the song of the summer. Released today, August 8th, Avery Cochrane has perfectly nailed how it feels to change and mold yourself to fit other people’s perception of you.

A song made for blasting through your car speakers (trust me, I’ve tested it), “Shapeshifting on a Saturday Night” has all of the elements of an instant pop hit: irresistibly catchy, yet relatable, lyrics and a backing track that you can’t help but dance to. The track stands out among Cochrane’s previous releases, gearing more towards pure pop than indie, but still maintains the same vulnerability and honesty within the lyrics that fans have come to love and appreciate. Lyrics like “Will she waste into the kind of woman everyone likes?” and “Needs your confirmation, she’s changed a lot since then” put the listener into the mindset of someone who seeks the approval of others, often at the expense of their own happiness.

A beautiful track accompanied by an equally stunning music video (directed by Marlena Lerner), “Shapeshifting on a Saturday Night” has cemented Cochrane’s place as the next pop girlie, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.
