Young vocalist Cormac Thompson returns with his emotive new release 'Days Like These', showcasing an even deeper evolution of his artistic voice. At just 15, Cormac has already carved an impressive path on the independent scene, with two successful albums behind him and a well-earned “Artist of the Year” accolade in Nashville. This new single reflects his growth, both musically and personally, as he explores themes of loss and self-discovery through the hauntingly beautiful song originally penned by Grammy-winning Janis Ian.
'Days Like These' moves in a slightly folk-influenced direction, blending Cormac’s matured vocals with an ambient mix of piano and pedal steel, allowing his expressive timbre to shine. In this thoughtful piece, he reflects on his grandfather’s passing, channeling the complexities of grief and acceptance.
With over 2.2 million Spotify streams and 8 million YouTube views, Cormac has earned a strong following, and this release only builds on his appeal. His willingness to experiment across genres, from folk to pop ballads like 'True Colours' and 'Joker and The Queen', reflects an artist both open and adaptive. As Cormac’s voice continues to develop, he remains an inspiring example for young vocalists, embracing each stage of growth with an openness that’s refreshing in today’s industry.
