corook

corook is the leader of a frog hat wearing queer cult.
Corinne is a middle child raised in Pittsburgh PA.
corook is a pop star viral sensation built off songs like “if i were a fish” and “it’s ok.”
Corinne is awkward.
But do you really know the difference between Corinne and corook?
After all, you can only experience Corinne through a screen… and through corook.

It’s time we explore the parts that make up the whole of Corinne Savage. Particularly, the parts that have been exploited and commercialized in their life. Not just since they have become “corook,” but since they were a kid. Think of it almost as an origin story – exploring gender identity, family tension, and queer love wrapped in a new elevated pop sound. The songs keep their heart wrenching storytelling and catchy melodies accompanied by a vocal delivery reminiscent of Marcel the Shell with Shoes On.

So will Corinne break out of family patterns and the desire to please everyone but themself? Will corook conquer all and headline coachella? FIND OUT NEXT WEEK ON “COROOK”!!!!!
