Perhaps just with the title of this article you felt addressed, in fact, we probably unintentionally opened an old wound in you that seemed already closed. And it's that betrayal and infidelity seem to be more than latent in the turbulent current social and relational landscape, but there's no need to worry. Catlea perfectly understands what your emotions are going through right now, and that's exactly how she bravely and truthfully confronts it in her new and brilliant single titled 'Lying'.

After a resounding success with the release of “Like Me” in September 2023, Catlea, the talented American singer-songwriter from Cincinnati, OH, returns to the music scene today with an incredible new offering. Under the captivating title ‘Lying,’ this spectacular composition not only marks her first release of the year but also stands as her second promotional single from her upcoming album ‘Language Barrier,’ leaving her music fans with the highest expectations.


For some time now, Catlea has been shaking up the current music scene, as her unique approach to the alternative pop genre is the definition of pure authenticity. Thanks to her impeccable vocal performance, an innate storytelling ability and relatable themes, addressed with immense sincerity, all in addition to a truly impactful instrumental background featuring prominent musicians from various corners of the world, her music has undoubtedly left an indelible mark not only on her most devoted fans but also on the history of independent pop music.


About the Artist:

Catlea is a versatile singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for her diverse musical style that spans from alt-indie to rock, pop, and EDM. Her vocal range is equally impressive, effortlessly alternating between angelic and ethereal tones and raw, powerful expressions.


In addition to her distinctive vocals, Catlea showcases her musical ability on several instruments, including piano, acoustic guitar, rhythm guitar, and ukulele. Her music is characterized by a blend of emotive lyrics, catchy melodies, and a varied sound that resonates with followers of different musical preferences.


About the Release:

Catlea spent three years writing, producing, and perfecting ten new alt-indie songs for a full album titled 'Language Barrier', working closely with producer Jason Boshoff (known for his work with Ed Sheeran, Josh Groban, David Gray, Rufus Wainwright) at Room to Studios in Barcelona, Spain. All of Catlea's vocals were recorded locally at PLAY Audio (formerly Gwynne Sound).


 

‘Lying’ is the second track from what will be her new album, exuding a catchy and uplifting essence through energetic and contagious rhythms, where her sensual yet powerful vocal performance takes center stage. Officially released on April 26th, this song has already managed to capture the attention of numerous media outlets worldwide and listeners around the globe, amassing over 35,000 streams on Spotify to date.


Track Analysis: 

With a rich musical background that combines the organic feel of real instruments like exquisite guitar strumming and the deep sound of the bass guitar with electronic elements and modern production techniques, 'Lying' offers a balanced auditory experience right from the start, leading the listener to an instant feeling of well-being. Despite its intricate theme, its revitalizing energy manages to approach the complexities of human relationships with a distinct vision, exuding a refreshing and innovative aura.


Through intensely reflective verses, Catlea, with her smooth and velvety vocal tone, manages to establish an intimate connection with the listener from the outset. However, she has no trouble transcending into powerful and beautifully strident choruses, freely navigating across her wide vocal range with perfectly polished technique.



‘Lying’ is a song that stands out for addressing themes like infidelity and dishonesty from a truly groundbreaking perspective. In it, Catlea showcases her spectacular lyrical composition skills by creating a fictional scenario where she confronts her counterpart who has been causing her harm. She demonstrates that vulnerability is something given in exchange for the trust placed in the other person. As the narrator of this story, she shows her partner that if she wanted to hurt him, she could, and it would save a few difficult conversations.


Does this feeling sound familiar to you? Of course it does! actually, we would dare to say that perhaps on more than one occasion you thought about it, but didn't dare to say it.


From this perspective, her narrative offers a transgressive and innovative look at romantic relationships, challenging pre-established paradigms and emphasizing that people often abuse the vulnerability of others without considering that the other person could act in the same way if they wanted to. This viewpoint reminds us that sometimes we simply need to remind those who harm us that trust, fidelity, and loyalty are aspects that arise from predisposition, willingness, and consent.


Rather, anyone who breaks any of those facets is simply taking advantage of the level of commitment and dedication the other has put in, since both had the same power from the beginning. This narrative exposes a new dimension of understanding about love as a concept, where Catlea warns us that romantic relationships can often be a dangerous double-edged sword.
