Folk singer-songwriter Diane Coll’s second album, Old Ghosts, will be released on January 16, 2024. The album’s final single, “Glow, Candlelight” is out now, which Coll calls her “dark night of the soul song.” It’s a track that believes in healing if we really desire it.

Old Ghosts, overall, is a “moodier, darker, and more introspective collection” than her first album, Happy Fish and Other Delights, which was releasedin October 2022.

Old Ghosts was created after Coll began a new phase of her life. 

She explains:

When relationships end, it is time to self-reflect and take inventory of what’s been waiting in the wings. To live as authentically as we can, we often must acknowledge and look our own old ghosts in the mirror and heal thyself first and foremost. Old Ghosts is my own journey through some old haunts. In the end, there was great healing, away from the external world and back to the internal world.

As a mental health therapist, Coll considers music her therapy and “honors the sacred space between performer and listener.”
