pedro suárez-vertiz, 1993
recommended for all of cortis
it’s a catchy peruvian pop-rock song, but beneath its upbeat sound lies a deeply melancholic story. it’s about loving someone unconditionally, even when they’ve almost lost everything and trying to remind them of the person they once were. i have a feeling you’d really enjoy this song<3

serpentskirt
cocteau twins, 1996
recommended for martin
martin would definitely love this. as a producer, he’d geek out over the spacey guitar layers, the heavy bassline, and how the vocals act more like a cool atmospheric synth than just a plain melody. it’s right up his alley for weird, immersive sounds.

for cortis, who have been fighting since all of you were still teenagers. know that it’s okay to make mistakes, because you will continue to learn and love one another. for coer, who have also been fighting for yourselves. know that you will always find a home to return to. so it’s okay if you happen to lose your way sometimes, because you will grow through it. love and learn always. i hope this song embraces all of you the way it has embraced me. i hope your wounds heal soon and become beautiful, just like mine. ♡
nobody but you
sonder & jorja smith, 2021
recommended for seonghyeon
since hyeon mentioned that he liked rnb, specifically brent faiyaz, this kinda made me think of him? it has the same type of groovy mellowed out beat, so yknow he might dig it lol

gracias a la vida
mercedes sosa, 1971
recommended for all of cortis
“gracias a la vida” means “thanks to life,” and it’s a song about hope, resilience and unbounded gratitude for everything life gives us, both the happiness and the pain. my family has never stopped playing it, and i feel like it fits cortis so well because they’ve worked so hard to travel this far while creating music that expresses their freedom, youth and passion. they never choose what feels safe or expected.

paprika
satoshi kon, 2006
recommended for all of cortis
it’s a very out of the box anime that was the inspiration for the more popular movie inception (it’s better than that imo), and has a lot of abstract concepts that make you think a lot about the barriers between dreams and reality.
content note: sexual assault, violence, nudity
butterflies
butterflies, 2009
recommended for martin
i really think martin would enjoy kolohe kai’s sound, and this song fits his voice so well. i’d love for him to discover them and maybe even cover it someday.
mr. moral & the big steppers
kendrick lamar, 2022
recommended for coer
i would like to recommend this life-changing album for every coer out there. he is a genius when it comes to writing lyrics i swear you will be blown away by how his lyrics rhyme. also, since cortis is heavily hiphop based, I’m sure they also learned a lot from kendrick.

the sun’s tirade
isaiah rashad, 2016
recommended for coer
artist talks about his vulnerabilities, mental health struggles and addiction. it’s very raw and mellow especially the first few tracks of the album. this album will feel like listening to jazz and hip-hop combined.
content note: substance abuse, depression, suicidal ideation, strong language
le petit prince
antoine de saint-exupéry, 1943
recommended for all of cortis
the little prince isn't just a story, it’s a manifesto of creative freedom. the book challenges the rigid rules of the adult world to remind us that true magic happens when we dare to look beyond the obvious and create without a mold. that pursuit of pure authenticity, rebellious curiosity, and deep connections aligns directly with their artistic soul, making it a read they wouldn't just enjoy, but truly resonate with.
content note: grief, depression

molly santana, 2025
recommended for seonghyeon
i’ve seen him post molly on weverse which made me really happy, because I love molly santana and her work, so I think he would like this song if he listened to it!

deep diving
after, 2025
recommended for coer
i always play this song when i’m in the mood for something soft and mellow. like “joyride” and “blue lips,” it’s something you can get lost in and relax to. whether it’s a late-night drive or a rainy night indoors, i hope it brings you a little comfort, like so many cortis songs do.
