Cordelia O’Driscoll, who performs as Cordelia, crafts inimitable songs that hinge on sharp observations, poetic asides, and an amalgamation of genres, including pop, jazz, and soul. The British songwriter found her first taste of success with the viral number “Little Life”—a track about simple everyday pleasures—from her 2023 Caramel EP. Her slow-burning voice imbues the acoustic composition with richness. It’s daringly intimate, and this unfettered vulnerability turned the song into an indie smash. She followed the success of “Little Life” with the blunt “I Just Killed a Spider,” another guitar-driven track buoyed by Cordelia’s imagistic and heartbreaking lyrics. She sings: “I just killed a spider, now I feel bad/It wasn’t doing anything, it was just sitting there/What would become of me if I could die so easily?” After this meditation, the track buzzes with reverb and feedback, creating a tension that builds until the song dissolves into a whispered, “Could you save me?”
