Catlea is an expert sonic collager. Blending frames from multiple genres and styles, each of her tracks is a mood board that orients the listener to a theme, an idea, or a contemplation. Her intuitive style and her candor is especially highlighted with this style of sonic craft; as she borrows from whatever works into the big picture and completes it. That’s the brand of Catlea. In her latest release, ‘Crumbling’, she explores the unraveling threads of the human spirit as it experiences heartache and grief. Her soft and delicate vocal quality is reminiscent of Billie Eilish and Ariana Grande. The reflective tone fuses well with the pausing alt folk acoustics.
As the track evolves, we see it phase into soft pop, gaining a light electro fringe and beats. The soundscape follows her stream of consciousness flow, rising out of her emotional pulse. Like that, we experience the protagonist’s hurt, disappointment, anger, fear, rebellion, and power. It is incredible how with effortless manipulations, she creates a castle of personality, so intricate, so beautifully dimensionalized. There are so many faces to heartbreak and grief and she explores it all with a well-conceived and written song. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
