Catterina Reminisces On Romance Before Heartbreak In New Single “Waiting”

Indie-pop singer-songwriter Catterina delivers heartbreaking poetry in her new single, “Waiting,” out December 3rd, with an acoustic version releasing December 17th.

The result is a gorgeously somber heartbreak anthem reminiscent of artists like Phoebe Bridgers, Adele, and Maggie Rogers.
Stream “Waiting” on all major streaming platforms December 3rd, and the acoustic version on December 17th.
Catterina is a powerhouse indie-pop singer-songwriter and Brooklyn, NY native, now residing in Houston, Texas. She delivers poetically mesmerizing lyricism with an angelic, full bodied vocal, perfect for lovers of Maggie Rogers and Phoebe Bridgers. The tender warmth flowing through the independent artist’s music emerged once she began to settle into her own artistic identity. For Catterina, a life changing crisis that confronted her family motivated her to explore the depths of her artistry with more vulnerability than ever before. She finds herself gravitating towards artists like Amy Winehouse, Phoebe Bridgers, and Adele, that fuse a variety of genres in their music, as well as fearlessly explore a broad range of subject matter. The independent artist grew up listening to an eclectic mix of music from artists like U2, The Cranberries, Pearl Jam, Alicia Keys, and Alanis Morissette; the early exposure to her parent’s music library had a lasting impact on Catterina’s artistic aesthetic that shaped her into the emotional, colorful musician she is today. After discovering her love and passion for music at the tender age of fourteen, she began cultivating her craft by performing locally with her band Roses In April in 2016. More recently in her solo-career, Catterina’s upcoming EP, Four Twenty One, is a record that covers the stages of heartbreak – from falling in love to falling apart, self-reflection, the intricacies of navigating self-love, and healing your inner child.

Bill Bonnell lets quiet emotion speak loud on latest release “Your Secret’s Safe with Me”
On “Your Secret’s Safe with Me,” a song that thrives on simplicity, Bill Bonnell delivers a thoughtful and emotionally grounded performance. Built around warm acoustic guitar and soft drumming, the arrangement makes an inviting space for the song’s reflective message to come naturally to the fore. The track favors restraint over elaborate production, with each musical element supporting its themes of trust, forgiveness, and emotional resilience. The result is an intimate, honest, and refreshingly sincere listening experience.
The story’s tone is dominated by references to broken trust and hurt feelings, while lines about trusting your instincts and not staying trapped offer an optimistic outlook. The title of the song is a repeated comfort, both a promise and a reminder that true understanding begins with compassion.
