Sister Cookie unveils the lead single and video for CRUCIFY, a spicy stew of dark, intoxicating sounds and the next single from her eagerly anticipated debut album ‘In The Blue Corner’

A holy-rolling rhythm on the drums & bass is pumped up by baritone sax, offset against the wailing tenor. The whole thing is spiked with coruscating guitar sounds and heated up by organ lines which intensify as the song builds whilst the brooding, cryptic lyrics are sermonised in a low, hypnotic drawl, climaxing in an unsettling and powerful cry.

"Wow, I mean what's not to like about that? That is sensational! How groovy is that?!" Mark Radcliffe, BBC 6Music

“What a voice!” - Robert Elms, BBC London

Following her crowning as the winner of Record Store Day Unsigned 2020, Cookie signed to The Liquid Label and recorded her debut album with Alex McGowan (Jim Jones, Urban Voodoo Machine, Future Shape of Sound) at Eko East studio, mixed by Tom Campbell (Michael Kiwanuka, Little Simz, Sault).

The Record Store Day panel described her music: “The most original sound. Like Little Richard, Mark Ronson, Nina Simone and Nick Cave all got locked in a New Orleans speakeasy.” Record Store Day
