Who puts the soul in Soulish?
Soulish is the Toronto-based project of songwriter and guitarist Cole Solish, blending indie rock, folk, and experimental textures into a sound that feels both intimate and expansive. Once a five-piece collective, Soulish has evolved into Solish’s personal exploration of identity, growth, and emotional renewal, a continuation of the band’s spirit through a more vulnerable, introspective lens.
Rooted in Toronto’s diverse cultural landscape, Soulish pairs warm, organic instrumentation with reflective lyricism and immersive production. The result is music that balances groove and atmosphere, weaving together soulful rhythm, textural guitar work, and storytelling that resonates with quiet honesty.
Following early acclaim for their genre-blending live shows, Soulish reemerges with the EP I Suppose, a cohesive, four-track reflection on loss, transformation, and self-understanding. Its lead single, “For Me,” showcases Solish’s ability to translate personal moments into cinematic soundscapes, marrying delicate acoustic textures with subtle electronic warmth. The project draws influence from artists such as Bon Iver, Mac Miller, and Vampire Weekend, yet maintains a distinctly individual tone.
On stage, Soulish creates a deeply immersive atmosphere. Performances often feature layered harmonies, dynamic guitar arrangements, and spontaneous reinterpretations of recorded material, making each show a unique experience. Whether performing solo or with a live ensemble, Solish’s delivery is marked by authenticity and emotional precision, an open dialogue between artist and audience.
As featured in Moosic Entertainment, “Soulish’s new chapter feels like a quiet rebirth, intimate, grounded, and full of heart.” With I Suppose, Solish captures that evolution: a moment of reflection turned into a resonant soundscape of healing and rediscovery.
