Today, lo-fi alt-pop band Weston Estate share their new single “COOL GIRL,” out now on Arista Records. “COOL GIRL,” created during a writing trip in Oak Land, North Carolina is the Raleigh natives first new single since their EP SUPERBLOOM released at the beginning of summer.

The self-written and produced single “COOL GIRL” is an epic sound journey that moves between hushed intimacy, sunny full-band moments, darkly disjointed passages and ethereal bliss. Discussing the new single, Weston Estate shares, “’Cool Girl’ is about moving how you want, even when nobody is watching. Being wild and untouchable. Someone with a magnetic energy that you can’t seem to stay away from, but you also know that you can’t pin them down. It’s about watching someone you love outgrow the world around them. It’s the realization that she’s meant for something bigger, and the hardest but most honest thing you can do is ask her to leave you behind and step into that larger life.”
Weston Estate kept busy this summer which kicked off with the release of their anticipated EP SUPERBLOOM. August saw the band make their way to Europe both for shows in London and to appear as the surprise guest at influencer/boxer Logan Paul’s wedding before hosting their own self-curated SUPERBLOOM Fest in Brooklyn, the band’s new hometown. The festival included a performance from the band as well as by their friends Biking with Francis, Wolfacejoeyy, Yung Fazo and more.
SUPERBLOOM cemented Weston Estate’s status as a “no-skip” band. The previously unheard “Thinking Out Loud”is an epic sonic journey in three minutes, moving from hushed intimacy to sunny full-band moments to darkly disjointed passages to ethereal bliss. The lyrics similarly wrestle with post-breakup complexity: “Wasted, on again off again, back on just to find out what it’s like / Thinking maybe time will tell me how to fail you / I can’t get away, you feel like mine.”
Fans were previously treated to the lushly R&B-infused “Camouflage” and EP opener “I Saw Something,” described by Melodic Magazine as “an exhilarating mix of lush indie, vibrant alt-pop, and experimental dance.” Weston Estate preceded their SUPERBLOOM era with the one-off single “Petra,” which inspired Ones To Watch to rave that “the group ushers listeners into a vibrant and vulnerable world full of lush soundscapes and heart-aching lyricism that resonates with a palpable emotional depth.” That sentiment rings truer now than ever.
