The keen reader will gladly remember Nashville-based songstress Kate Kristine. Writing about ‘stranger i can’t tell’ earlier this year, we celebrated the single as a “compelling glimpse into her hazy, introspective and heartwarming songwriting universe”. It’s a statement we stand behind, and in fact, one that could very well resume all of Kristine’s artistic ethos. A gifted songwriter, the American artist pens material drenched in purpose and meaning, often dealing with introspection and love-filled emotions.
‘let u happen’ is the perfect evidence of that. Marking Kate’s next chapter, the track doubles down on romantic theming, this time uncovering the slow yet unwavering birth of a love connection, one that doesn’t really announce itself; it just takes over your world piece by piece. Kristine’s vocals are once again delivered at their best, still championing Kate’s crepuscular allure and gentle melodism. On production duties, we find returning collaborator Gianni Branciforte.
Delving deeper into the lyrical ethos that propels the single, we are told: “It’s a song about the kind of connection that changes you before you fully understand what is happening. It lives in that fragile emotional territory where reflection and regret begin to overlap, when something that once felt natural reveals, in hindsight, just how deeply it shaped you”. Safe to say, we can relate…
