CATLEA’s new single opens with simple acoustic guitar chords before adding lush cellos and violins, creating an atmosphere that feels massive yet deeply personal.
You can feel the meaning behind this release. CATLEA actually walked away from an earlier attempt at recording it at Room To Studio in Barcelona after hitting a low point with drinking. They chose to hold off until they got completely sober, returning to the studio months later with a clear mind to finish recording the vocals. That choice gives the final vocal performance an authentic grit. You hear someone who actively chose to heal, turning a heavy breakdown into a solid vow to treat themselves better.
Recorded across Barcelona, London, Cincinnati, and Israel alongside long-term collaborator Jason Boshoff and guitarist Oscar Garcia-Bragado, the production manages to sound wide and polished. The overall arrangement stays grounded and raw, making it a great pick for listeners who enjoy vulnerable songwriting from artists like Sara Bareilles or Rachel Platten. It acts as an impressive preview for their upcoming five-track project, Aftermath, which explores overcoming different stages of grief.
