Greetings dearest gentle reader and music lovers everywhere. Today, we highlight the work of English artist KAT KIKTA. Kat Kikta is a versatile artist, singer, and songwriter. Her artistry encompasses music, film, and sound art. She uses sound healing instruments, ‘found’ and electronic beats, her own field recordings, and multi-layered vocals to produce Avant-pop compositions with dramatic and ambient intentions. On 11th July, she released a cover single titled “he drives me crazy”, let’s talk about it
The song opens with these exotic sounds and a beautiful harmony that will catch your attention instantly
In the song, we meet a character who is completely mesmerized by her partner. It is important to note that, this character knows that this partner is a liar and is probably not treating her right but she just can’t let him go, she even admits that people around her say that she’s obsessed with him.
The song took away the pop funk origins and focused on a highly emotional and spiritual essence. The tune begins with simple percussion and then layers colors and heat, culminating in a throbbing downtempo beat that transports listeners into a sound fantasy realm. Each layer of production is deliberately built to create an immersive piece of music that is both familiar and entirely unique.
What a beautiful homage and what a beautiful performance. I loved the vibe, the vocals, and the instrumentation of the song. The single provides a tantalizing insight into Kats’ developing style, suggesting a new chapter for the artist and her burgeoning fan base. She is extremely talented and as a new fan, I can’t wait to hear more music from her
