THE ANSWERS

Cooper Phillip ft. Durand Bernarr

A pop gem about finding answers within ourselves.

Los Angeles-based, Russian-born musical creative, Cooper Phillip, is a multi-talented artist. Born into a family of classical musicians, the singer spent her early years finding comfort in listening to music. When she was 12 years old, her mother enrolled her at the Moscow State Classical Academy. Here, Phillip studied classical piano, music theory, harp, jazz, blues, ballet, and voice. Later, when she was 17, the artist moved to New York to pursue a music career before relocating to Los Angeles. There, she has performed at places like the Viper Room, Soho House, Spaghettini, Hotel Café, and Sayers Club. Her work is available on Spotify, YouTube, and her own website. Recently, Phillip collaborated with singer and songwriter Durand Bernarr for “THE ANSWERS,” which has an accompanying official music video.

This is an explosive sound that can only be described as “otherworldly.” “THE ANSWERS” is vibrant and uplifting, but it’s equally as unforgiving in its words. This song is here to remind us of where the truth often lies. Lyrics like “We’ve been up late feeding our demons / Like our hearts locked up in the cage” and “No need to hide / Open your mind / Look deep inside / I’m going to find / The answers” reflect on looking inward for guidance. With its sun-drenched sounds and soul-stirring vocals, Phillip and Bernarr have made something so empowering, it can’t be stopped. So, press play on Cooper Phillip’s new single to get lost in the hypnotic experience as you look for “THE ANSWERS.”
