Al Coffey, a rising voice in the pop scene, has returned with his highly anticipated new single, 'I Get Sad', which dropped on Friday 20th September. Known for his honey-smooth vocals and ability to craft songs infused with soulful authenticity, Al has captured attention with his deeply personal lyrics reflecting the emotional ups and downs of queer life in the big city. Featuring a singalong chorus inspired by his time with House Gospel Choir, his music cements him as a powerful voice for his generation.
Al says, “I Get Sad is about the last part of a relationship, when you realise the source of your sadness is the person you’re in bed with. Part earnest, part tongue in cheek, it swings between sorrow and relief the on/off is finally over. This would be the perfect fit for any listener's breakup playlist.”
After spending years writing poems and songs in secret, the 2020 lockdown made Al realise there was no better time to chase his musical dreams than right there and then. Drawing inspiration from icons like George Michael and Robyn, Al is currently working on new material with michelangelo.mp3 (Tia Kofi, Jason Kwan) and Patch Boshell (Liv Harland, aimei) - refining his signature sound with new music ready to go. Al’s ability to merge contemporary pop beats with raw emotional storytelling has garnered him widespread attention and created anticipation for what’s to come.
With his dynamic blend of influences, undeniable vocal talent and poignant lyrics, Al Coffey’s musical journey is gaining rapid momentum. He's already received significant support from platforms like BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio, Future Hits Radio and Out Loud, marking him as one of the most exciting new talents on the pop scene. ‘I Get Sad’ is OUT NOW on all streaming platforms.
