Catterina Reminisces On Romance Before Heartbreak In New Single “Waiting”
“Waiting” is a brilliantly melancholic indie-pop track backed by a pristine, acoustic driven soundscape that wistfully looks back on the good times of a past relationship.
Indie-pop singer-songwriter Catterina delivers heartbreaking poetry in her new single, “Waiting,” out December 3rd, with an acoustic version releasing December 17th. Catterina’s decadent vocal performance absolutely entrances listeners on this folk-kissed, indie-pop track; her warm, silky tone offers a colorful depth that shines with a mesmerizing brilliance as she painstakingly explores the complex emotions inherent to heartbreak. Behind chilled lyricism steeped in melancholy, the warmth at the core of Catterina’s voice offers a soothing charm while the artist opens up about her deepest sorrows. She meets listeners with elegance and poise on “Waiting,” all the while never once sacrificing the rawness of her lyricism. 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.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi
Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.
Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.
The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.
“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
