Album Review: Cosette’s Soliloquy Is One of the Year’s Most Exciting Indie Electronic Releases
Earlier this year, Cosette gave us “Magic,” a song that immediately became one of our favorite releases of the year.
There was something about it that felt impossible to flatten into one genre. Electronic production, pop instincts, glitchier textures, vulnerability, and a sense that the song could change direction at any second. When we first spoke with Cosette, it was already clear that instinct sits at the center of how she creates.
Soliloquy takes that instinct and pushes it further.
Released September 10, the new EP feels darker, bolder, and even less interested in fitting neatly into one space. It is the kind of project that makes Cosette’s growth over the last several months feel immediately understandable.
After “Magic”
A lot has happened since we first featured Cosette.
Her monthly listenership has climbed from roughly 20,000 to 30,000 listeners to more than 80,000, a jump that speaks to how quickly people have started finding their way into her music.
But Soliloquy does not feel like an artist reacting to newfound attention.
If anything, it feels like the opposite.
Cosette is doubling down on the things that made “Magic” feel so singular in the first place: unusual electronic details, production that moves without warning, melodies that feel instinctive rather than overly calculated, and an emotional center that keeps even the strangest moments grounded.
The audience may be getting bigger, but the music is becoming more distinctly hers.
Instinct Over Formula
When we spoke with Cosette around “Magic,” she told Everyday Jams that hearing the verse instrumental immediately made her emotional.
“The first thing I knew about this song was that the verse instrumental immediately made me feel emotional,” she said at the time. “I knew I had something special.”
Before the song was even finished, she had already started freestyling melodies and harmonies over it.
That way of working, reacting first and figuring out what the song needs from there, still feels like one of the clearest throughlines in her music.
On Soliloquy, it comes across as confidence.
The EP rarely feels like Cosette is forcing a song toward a traditional structure or trying to make the production easier to categorize. She lets the idea move until it finds the form it needs.
There is a looseness to that process, but never a lack of intention.
The World Around the Music
Cosette’s visual identity has always felt inseparable from what she makes.
With Soliloquy, that world has become noticeably darker.
The imagery surrounding the EP places her in silhouette against stark circular light, with distorted lettering cutting across the frame. It feels industrial, nocturnal, and slightly disorienting, a natural extension of the music rather than separate packaging around it.
That cohesion matters.
Cosette is not simply releasing songs. She is building a creative language around them.
Earlier this year, she told us that visual ideas often arrive while she is still working on the music itself, sometimes during the mixing process or even late at night after the workday has ended.
The vision comes first.
Then she builds around it.
That philosophy feels even more complete on Soliloquy.
The exclusive photos shared with Everyday Jams by Cosette’s team add another layer to that world. They feel raw, intimate, and completely in step with the energy of the project, giving us a closer look at an era that already feels visually as intentional as it does sonically.
An Artist Getting Harder to Categorize
Trying to reduce Cosette’s influences to a clean list has always felt slightly beside the point.
Her foundation stretches across electronic music, pop, R&B, rap, hyperpop, alternative music, and artists from Kesha and Daft Punk to The 1975, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and the more boundary-pushing edges of PC Music.
What matters more is what she does with all of it.
Cosette once told us, “I aspire to conquer every genre or blend them all into one.”
Soliloquy gets remarkably close to making that idea feel less like ambition and more like a genuine artistic direction.
There are recognizable influences throughout the project, but the end result increasingly sounds like Cosette.
And that may be the biggest difference between where she was when we first heard “Magic” and where she is now.
Something Bigger Is Happening
It would be easy to frame this era around the numbers.
Twenty or thirty thousand monthly listeners became more than eighty thousand. More people are finding the songs. More people are paying attention.
But numbers only explain the scale of the growth.
Soliloquy explains why it is happening.
Cosette is releasing some of the most exciting indie electronic music we have heard this year because nothing feels phoned in. Every choice feels considered. Every left turn feels earned. Every song adds something new without pulling the project out of focus.
Earlier this year, “Magic” quickly became one of our favorite releases of 2026.
Now, Soliloquy has done the same.
There is not a weak moment here. Nothing disappoints. The production is adventurous without losing its emotional center, the songwriting feels deeply personal, and the whole world around the project feels more complete than ever.
If you are looking for a new artist to get excited about, Cosette is the one.
Not because she fits neatly into what indie electronic music is supposed to sound like, but because she keeps finding ways to make it feel new again.
“Magic” felt like a turning point.
Soliloquy feels like an arrival.
