“Lying” by CATLEA unleashes a triumphant anthemic brilliance
CATLEA flips the script on betrayal and the traditional break up with her latest enchanting pop single, “Lying.” With this song, she offers a spirited retort to unfaithfulness, turning heartbreak into an empowering anthem. Teaming up with acclaimed producer Jason Boshoff, whose magic touch has graced tracks by Ed Sheeran and Josh Groban, CATLEA has crafted a song that’s as musically catchy as it is cathartic. Recorded at PLAY Audio in Cincinnati, Ohio, CATLEA’s vocals are the heart and soul of this composition.
Boshoff’s masterful production emanating from Barcelona’s Room to Studios exudes a polished and dynamic quality. It seamlessly blends uplifting instrumentals with weighty subject matter, engendering a dance-worthy and thought-provoking listening experience that resonates with audiences on multiple levels. “Lying” immediately grabs listeners with its upbeat rhythm, showcasing CATLEA’s talent for creating memorable indie-pop tunes.
CATLEA’s vocal performance demonstrates both sultriness and assertiveness. She imbues the song with an authentic rhythm that amplifies its emotional depth and conveys a message of resilience in the face of deceit. Her voice adeptly navigates between sensual softness and powerful defiance, delivering honest and unwavering lyrics that deeply resonate with those who value emotional authenticity.
Rather than succumbing to feelings of betrayal, CATLEA confronts her unfaithful partner with remarkable confidence. The astute twist in the chorus resonates with anyone who has experienced deception, suggesting the pursuit of happiness with genuine friends rather than enduring manipulation. This bold message, wrapped in an irresistibly danceable melody, addresses the painful reality of infidelity while transforming the experience into a declaration of independence.
As the second single from her forthcoming album, “Language Barrier,” “Lying” builds on the momentum of her debut, “Like Me,” offering a promising glimpse of what to expect from her upcoming full-length album, which will be both deeply personal and widely relatable. This remarkable track showcases her evolution as a songwriter and solidifies her position in the indie-pop scene. It presents a must-listen anthem that effortlessly combines relatable storytelling with an empowering groove, celebrating self-worth triumph over deceit, manipulation, and unwavering conviction. It makes it a fitting addition to your playlist and reminds us that sometimes, the best revenge is living one’s most authentic life.

Mr. Husband unveils a foot-tapping truths and heartland fire on latest release “Is It Real?”
Mr. Husband returns with an engaging, refreshingly authentic release in “Is It Real?”, an uptempo heartland-rocker that walks a fine line between familiarity and originality with remarkable ease. The track is built on a unique lap-steel-through-womb tone element, creating a sound that is both open and entirely its own, pulling the listener into an emotional musical journey from the very first note.
The song starts with a carefully crafted drumline that instantly sets the momentum. The guitar and bass come in. They blend easily to create a warm, energetic base. A subtle tambourine quietly weaves its way through the arrangement, never asserting itself but adding just enough texture to keep the rhythm alive and kicking.
The opening lyrics of “Is It Real?” are contemplative, with the arresting first lines “I’ve been bottoming out tonight, I’ve been wondering if I’m going anywhere, a little hope is hard to find.” Many listeners will immediately recognise the sense of uncertainty and searching in these words. But rather than wallow in uncertainty, the song channels those feelings into something more positive, driven by its propulsive instrumentation and infectious groove.
“Is It Real?” is the kind of track that gets your head nodding and your feet tapping without trying too hard. There’s a real feel to the energy, grounded in solid songwriting and a genuine desire to connect with the listener rather than impress. The tune has a classic heartland-rock feel to it, but there are some sonic touches that make it stand out and give it its own identity.
