"Stranger in Every Town is a concept album depicting the highs and lows and existential terror of solo touring as an independent singer-songwriter. Much like a touring artist, the album itself travels through sonic and spiritual spaces, from a rollicking celebration of freedom to the desperation of fleeting but meaningful connections to the overwhelming dread of endless searching without a clear object. This album is less of a collection of songs and more of a journey, moving forwards and backwards simultaneously, looping over itself in the middle in a declaration of simultaneous self assurance and bewilderment, and ending exactly where it began, but breathless and shaking."
"Kosi's fifth album is a jazzy, soulful, and often metaphysical journey into the world of solo travel and independent touring."-CD Baby
