Out Of Love

Good Liars

Good Liars (Katie Kittermaster)

Released on Revanche Records Friday 11th February 2022. Katie says of the song:

I wrote SSBH during lockdown by myself – it was a song I'd been wanting to write for a while but hadn’t found the time whilst away on tour. The song follows the story of a group of girls on a night out – getting ready to go, at the bar, in the bathroom, at the kebab shop and waiting at the taxi rank for a ride home. For me this song is super personal and it was definitely a cathartic experience – it perfectly captures how I've felt about a particular friend who I had fallen out with and missed very very much.

Sunday Afternoon

Sunday Afternoon [Scutt Remix)

This song was written last summer in Berlin, I guess it’s about being scared to cut ties with someone that you really care about, someone you never want to hurt or loose and the knowing that putting yourself first might inevitably lead to hurting them and losing them. It’s about being a little selfish but being scared that you might lose someone who is ‘one of a kind’.

Every Breath You Take - (Acoustic)

"Lukewarm Lover is a track about a relationship where the spark has fizzled out and both parties are just going through the motions, but don't know really how to bring it to its natural conclusion. I guess it's maybe the harsher, more confident, 'big sister' song to One Of A Kind. It's less apologetic and doesn't dance around the evidently tricky situation, I love this about it, as I feel it shows real personal growth as well as (hopefully) my development as a writer too!"

Lukewarm Lover (Original Mix)

I wrote The Problem late one evening before flying to LA for a writing trip the next day - I guess I was kind of checking I could still write aha!! I think over the last few years I've become a bit of an anxious person and having dealt with ideas of depression from quite a young age I knew this was always something I would write about as I think knowing that other people felt the same made me feel less alone, but it’s clear in the song that this was a moment of weakness where I did feel like a lot of things that had ‘gone wrong’ for me, were my fault. But I also think it is about how sometimes we should take responsibility for things that happen and that you can grow from accepting your faults and flaws rather than just coming up with excuses for why things turn out the way they do.

Katie Kittermaster articulates the melancholy of young adulthood with a unique warmth, wit and clarity. On her 2019 EP Coming Home At Dawn, she parcels up her song writing craft in the humblest of sonic spaces, leaning predominantly on guitar and voice.

Opening for the likes of Jools Holland, Olly Murs and Ronan Keating and touring with Lucy Spraggan, and Boyzlife (Brian McFadden and Keith Duffy) over the course of the past two years has made it abundantly clear for Katie that crowds really homed in on her honest, conversational songs. As her words were sung back to her manifold, she was compelled to explore the potential of her music a little deeper.

New single ‘One Of A Kind’ introduces a more condensed, pop-focused direction for Katie, without sacrificing the down-to-earth magnetism that marked her previous material. The song holds the looking glass under a long-term relationship in your teens and the quandary of knowing you need to let go.

“It’s something a lot of people can hopefully relate to”, Katie comments. “Because there are so many songs about being heartbroken, but the other side of the break-up is rarely spoken about. For me, song-writing is almost like writing a journal and sometimes it takes writing a song to work out how I am feeling.  Writing 'One of a Kind' made me realise that the shoe being on the other foot can be equally as upsetting, as you never want to hurt somebody that you care about."

Katie reveals that the coming material she’ll release will not only explore different types of relationships but expand sonically into the realms of floor-filling, widescreen pop. ‘She Should Be Here’ is essentially written as a spiritual successor to ‘You Needed Me’ off her previous EP, written from an individual with slightly more miles on her soul. “It’s about being on a night out with my friends, trying to have a good time but being unable to escape the constant memories of a friend who should be there with me; someone who wasn't part of my life for a while.”

Homing in on specific situations like waiting for the taxi and going to the kebab shop creates a vivid image and one that many will be able to relate to. Sonically, the song is heavily inspired by Robyn, combining a supple dance floor sensibility with wistful lyrics. Katie even makes a cheeky reference to Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s iconic hit ‘Murder On The Dancefloor’.

All in all, in her new songs, Katie Kittermaster dares herself to ask the harder questions, albeit juxtaposing them with the immediacy of contemporary pop. This alliance helped expand her vocabulary to bright new levels. ‘The Problem’ marks this stylistic shift most cogently. “It was the night before I was flying to LA for a writing session and I was feeling the pressure of working with seasoned writers and hit makers.”  Katie channelled all that nervous energy to pen ‘The Problem’. “I think I’ve become a worrier this year. With more pressure put on you or you put on yourself, you feel a responsibility to deliver. There are obviously things in everyone’s life that go wrong: friendships that fall apart, relationships that don’t turn out the way you wanted them to. "The Problem' is a reflection on these sorts of things that happen when you grow up; ‘What if I was the problem? What if this is all my fault?'" 

Instead of spiralling down in resignation, the song bursts at the seams with vigour. "Sonically, ‘The Problem’ is very upbeat. I think the song personifies who I am; I am perceived as lively, chatty and bubbly but there is a lot more beneath the surface. On the first listen, that’s probably what ‘The Problem’ sounds like, but if you listen a bit deeper, you’ll realise there is more to this song
