Diane Coll introduces new song “Tell Jupiter Hi” as 13th Floor’s Song of the Day

Diane Coll, an Atlanta-based singer-songwriter, is well-known for creating music that acts as therapy for the soul. Her upcoming album, “Strangely in Tune,” set to be released on January 6th, is no exception. One of the tracks from the album, “Tell Jupiter, Hi,” is being unveiled to listeners today.

With open and ethereal soundscapes, Diane Coll manages to invite her listeners into a realm where grief meets gratitude, and one lone voice raises a toast to pain, proclaiming, “Wouldn’t have it otherwise, when grace is the prize.”

Expressing her love for the contrast between acoustic guitar and ambient sounds, Coll mentions how this juxtaposition places her in two different spaces simultaneously – one on Earth gazing upwards and the other from space looking downwards.

“Strangely in Tune” marks Coll’s fifth solo album, consisting of songs that celebrate the indefinite and delicate moments between the beginning and end of life. Collaborating with Jonny Daly, a musician, engineer, and friend, Coll takes on the bulk of the musical instrumentation alongside some guest musicians to bring her vision to life.

Coll shares, “Nebulous times have the power to shatter us, but they also hold within them the ability to piece us back together. Similar to the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is mended with gold-infused glue, these times can transform us into something more beautiful and valuable than before, a testament to human resilience.”

One of the early releases from the album, “Carolina Wren,” combines guitars, vocals, and mellotron in a whimsical mix to convey the sweetness of nature and its unwavering comfort during times of sorrow.

Reflecting on the creative process, Coll explains, “As I embarked on my fifth album, I felt compelled to explore new sonic territories artistically. With ‘Strangely in Tune,’ I aimed to venture into uncharted musical realms, and partnering with Jonny Daly, a brilliant and intuitive musician, was the perfect fit for these songs.”

Prior to this album, Coll introduced “Up From the Mud” in early 2025. Featuring 14 deeply personal tracks that traverse folk, pop, and rock genres, this album has been praised for capturing Coll’s ability to connect profoundly with listeners, offering messages of reassurance, affirmation, and a sense of renewal.

Among Coll’s previous releases are “Happy Fish and Other Delights,” “Into the Fire,” and “Old Ghosts.” Critics have lauded the latter as a soulful, honest, and impactful album, showcasing Coll’s talent in creating a space for introspection and healing, where vulnerability blossoms into resilience. Her music has been recognized on folk charts, marking her as a significant artist in the genre.

Originally from Chicago, Coll’s move to Georgia in the ’90s was driven by her passion for soaking up the vibrant music scenes in Athens and Atlanta. Residing in the Atlanta area, she currently works as a mental health therapist, bringing her passion for healing and connection to both her music and her profession.
