We’re starting the year with an exclusive first listen to the new single from Diane Coll, it’s called ‘Glow, Candlelight‘ and is taken from Coll’s latest, and second, solo album ‘Old Ghosts‘ which is out on the 16th of this month. As a mental health therapist, Diane Coll considers music her therapy and on ‘Old Ghosts’ then focus is on a beginning, after Coll began a new phase of her life, as she explains “When relationships end, it is time to self-reflect and take inventory of what’s been waiting in the wings,” she says. “To live as authentically as we can, we often must acknowledge and look our own old ghosts in the mirror and heal thyself first and foremost. Old Ghosts is my own journey through some old haunts. In the end, there was great healing, away from the external world and back to the internal world.”
‘Glow, Candlelight‘ is clearly a song about renewal and reflection, as Diana Coll told Americana UK that “I do believe that in our quietest moments, great healing can occur if we desire it. I call this my dark night of the soul song, and yet, there is comfort found in the indigo eye of a lone candle flame. And, there is great power to cast into that flame what no longer serves.”
Diane Coll originally hails from Chicago, but is now resident in Atlanta. Her earliest musical recording foray was with the band Rosary who released an album entitled ‘Clairvoyance.‘ After a musical pause Coll began songwriting again in 2017, releasing the album ‘Happy Fish and Other Delights‘ in October 2022 with a follow up EP ‘Into the Fire’ in April 2023.
