Alma Cook

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I'm convinced there's a genetic aspect of music taste. I was never exposed to R&B growing up, but the little hints of funky bass or backbeats I did hear—like in "Free" by Ginny Owens from a Christian record my parents had—always made me hit repeat. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Anderson .Paak, Malibu Emily King, The Switch (Deluxe Edition) Lucky Daye, Painted (Deluxe Edition) I can't get enough of these! Emily has influenced my sound so much, while .Paak & Lucky have gotten me through so many transitional seasons of life. Gorgeous production & sophisticated, memorable songwriting. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “So Close” It's hard for artists to feel totally satisfied with their own work, whether it's the songwriting, production, or vocal delivery. "So Close" was the first song I ever released that made me go, "Yes. There it is. That's exactly what I was aiming for."
