Released on April 26, 2025, “Glory” stands as Cozy’s second single from their inaugural EP, Last Star. This song perfectly shows Cozy’s desire to go beyond musical boundaries by mixing Afrobeat beats with world pop components to produce a soundscape that feels both grounded and ethereal.
“Glory” starts with a chilly piano melody that establishes a meditative tone, welcoming listeners into Cozy’s self-reflective realm. While the Afrobeat inspirations give the song a rhythmic energy, the lo-fi old-school drums offer a nostalgic backdrop. Cozy’s flow is smooth and interesting, and his refined use of auto-tune improves the emotive quality of his voice without detracting from the natural aspect of the song.
Though the production is refined, it has real warmth that lets every aspect—from the melodic hooks to the percussive accents—shine. This careful consideration of every aspect produces a track that is emotionally resonant as well as sonically rich.
Lyrically, “Glory” explores ideas of self-discovery, existential inquiry, and the search of truth amid the modern living diversions. Cozy sets himself as a spaceman or explorer, venturing into territory—both literally and symbolically unknown—to return tales with real depth and resonance. This story fits with his concept of moving music beyond the stars to inspire a new renaissance in the musical scene.
The song also addresses the difficulties of remaining here in a society ruled by cell phones, media, and never-ending distractions. Cozy’s songs inspire listeners to find purpose outside of societal norms and establish closer relationships.
“Glory” is evidence of Cozy’s creative vision and capacity to produce music that transcends boundaries and relates to common human experiences. The track combines Afrobeat beats, world pop melodies, and reflective lyrics to produce a somewhat calming and provocative listening experience.
