Singer/songwriter Zooey Celeste has shared the new single “Cosmic Being” from his upcoming album Restless Thoughts. The Southern Californian musician created his artist persona from a novel he wrote self-described as “somewhere between Quentin Tarantino and the Bhagavad Gita.” “Cosmic Being” is a lo-fi track filled with aching serenity. In the chorus, Celeste sings, “Love, harmony, it’s all we need,” which has become my mantra for the rest of the week. Celeste’s long-time friend Nick Hakim (Lil Yachty, Nilüfer Yanya) produced “Cosmic Being,” and it’s a first glimpse of the many collaborators on his album, such as Unknown Mortal Orchestra bassist Jake Portrait and Columbian-Canadian singer/songwriter Tei Shi.
