Allan Jamisen’s “The Coalition” does not arrive quietly. It steps into the room with deep, resonant vocals that feel more like a warning than a performance. The track blends dark cinematic textures with a vintage crooner gravitas, creating a mood that sits somewhere between Leonard Cohen’s late-era minimalism and the shadowy swagger of Bowie’s Berlin period. This is outsider art, but with discipline the kind that comes from decades of moving between choirs, cassette four-tracks, Copenhagen galleries, and late-night studio sessions with industry legends.

Jamisen is not here to entertain. He is here to interrogate. “The Coalition” takes direct aim at the intertwined interests of political leadership, military authority, and corporate profit. The song frames modern conflict as a manufactured narrative, sold to the public under the polished language of democracy and freedom. His delivery is calm, almost elegiac, which makes the indictment sharper. There is no rage-screaming, only truth, spoken slowly, like a closing argument.

This is not nostalgia. It is accumulation. Every influence, from Burt Bacharach to Motown to The Velvet Underground, is distilled into a song that feels timeless and unsettling in the best way. “The Coalition” is built for playlists and also reflection. In a market addicted to distraction, Allan Jamisen delivers a protest record disguised as a cinematic soul track. Stream it, sit with it, and let it bother you; that is exactly the point.
