Born in Dublin and raised in London, Kitty is a 25 year old singer-songwriter who stitches her raw and honest lyricism via moving vocals carrying hook-focused melodies. Taking influence from artists like Lianne La Havas and Lily Allen, life as a young, queer woman has also provided the experiences that direct her artistic expression.
Making her artistic entrance in 2017 with her debut single “Girlfriend,” aged just 19, she followed it up with her first EP titled Nights. Striking a chord with fans and earning recognition from tastemakers, she received radio support from BBC Introducing London and her music landed in Spotify Viral Playlsits.
Following a string of releases between 2018 and 2021, she’s since taken a hiatus from sharing her original studio music while focusing on songwriting and collaborating with other artists such as Rowan Flack on the track “Tipsy on the Tongue.” Now, with her sophomore EP, titled Swimming for Dummies, set to drop in May next year, Kitty marks her return as a solo artist with her new single “Sympathy Pains.”
Linking up withJules Konieczny, to produce the single as well as the whole upcoming EP, with “Sympathy Pains,” Kitty serves up a delicate alternative pop sound. Opened by soft piano chords, Kitty’s hushed vocals enter to carve poignant lyrics via gentle delivery and elegant melodies.
Injecting the subtle rhythm with the patter of kick drum and fluttering sonic textures, their energy mirrored in the piano performance, “Sympathy Pains” spins a catchy sound of heartwarming songwriting and alluring vocals. Offering a window into the latest stage of Kitty’s evolving sonic vision, “Sympathy Pains” is a stunning new song from a talented artist who’s sure to continue going from strength to strength with her upcoming EP.
Commenting on the new single, she shares, “This song marks a new beginning for me and my music, with a sound I created with my producer, Jules Konieczny, that feels like my personality in a song, so I’m really proud of it! I wrote it about a friend who was leaning on me like a therapist so much that it started to impact my own mental health, which is when the words ‘sympathy pains’ came to me. When I brought the idea to my good friend and co-writer, Francesca Morris, the song just started flowing.”
