In Robert’s own words, “KITTY CAT is about the wild side. At this point in my life, I don’t need a person to be sensible and pay for things and tame me; I want someone who isn’t afraid to feel big things and make my body PURR.” This powerful declaration sets the tone for a song that celebrates unabashed freedom and sensuality, perfectly encapsulating the artist’s spirit.
With an impressive roster of collaborators, Robert has curated ‘KITTY CAT’ into a sonic delight. “I wrote and produced this track, which is a huge nod to ballroom beats and culture. Having Rocky Stallone from House of Silky record additional vocals was essential; he’s one of the best MCs, and I’m thrilled to have him on this track. Plus, my longtime mate Keelan Mak added that final sparkle, with mixing by Wave Racer and mastering by Suture Mastering. This song is an absolute blast to perform live, especially with the dancers. I love tapping into my inner animal, and I love being a popstar!!!!”
