Dream Pop from Kat Marcella

Kat Marcella is an indie alternative singer-songwriter from Queens, New York, now based in Brooklyn, whose music wraps emotive songwriting within ethereal soundscapes. Known for her poetic lyricism and soulful voice, she’s earned a reputation for crafting profoundly personal songs that have struck a chord with listeners across the USA and beyond.

Her musical output is a compelling fusion of haunting melodies and rhythmic grooves, exploring themes of love, loss and identity with an honesty that’s seen her go from strength to strength as a solo artist over the last five years. First stepping out as a solo artist in 2020 with the debut single “meet me halfway,” she’s shared several singles that have won over fans around the world.

Now, with the upcoming release of her debut EP, Love Makes Me Cry, she’s set to deliver an emotional dive into the many shades of love; its highs, its heartbreaks and its impact on those involved. The project captures the intimate and often painful truths of relationships, delivered with her original blend of vulnerability and strength.

Offering the first taste of the forthcoming release last month with the single and title track “Love Makes Me Cry,” she now brings us her latest release with her brand new single titled “F*ck Closure,” a cathartic anthem that flips the narrative of heartbreak into one of empowerment. The track reflects Kat’s personal journey through loss and unfulfilled expectations, embracing the messy reality that closure isn’t always possible, or even necessary. Rather than dwelling in sorrow, “F*ck Closure” channels that frustration into a liberated, self-assured declaration.

Casting a misty dream pop sound full of the twang of delicate guitar tones, gently lilting rhythmic sway and alluring vocal performance carrying blissful melodic leads, the track crafts a hazy aesthetic that’s at once catchy, soothing and subtly grooving. Gliding into an arrangement of warm bass pulses, the steady patter of laid back percussion and elegant vocal performance, the silky melodies wrap around the listener to warm a truly charming listening experience that’s original and memorable in equal measure.

Linking up with producer LOUD HOUND, Kat shares on the creation process, “We spent countless late nights together, experimenting with guitar rhythms and sounds until we found the right balance. It was a process of trial and error, but eventually, we landed on the perfect combination of sensuality and melancholy. I’m incredibly proud of the result.” With tinges of upbeat vibes, threaded with poignant lyricism and brought to life with a combination of sharp guitar plucks and woozy synth textures, “F*ck Closure” sees Kat Marcella serve up a stunning new jam that continues to build the hype for her upcoming Love Makes Me Cry EP release, set to drop this Spring.

Commenting on the single, she shares, “I wrote this song after realising I might never get the explanations I felt I deserved from certain people in my life. It’s the kind of heartbreak where you know you’re not going to get closure, and you have to find a way to let go and move on without it. It’s a reminder that sometimes it’s okay to say, ‘F*ck it.'”
