Video Premiere: katya. – anna

 

Vienna-based newcomer, katya., has just released her latest single titled “Anna,” following the success of her previous tracks “Fake Part” and “Youarethemoon2me.” This new single gives us another glimpse of what to expect from her highly anticipated debut tape, “25yrs on Earth,” set to drop on August 25th – which also happens to be her 25th birthday.

The official music video for “Anna” premieres today, and the song itself holds a special meaning. It is a heartfelt tribute to katya.’s grandmother, also named Anna, who imparted these words of wisdom on her deathbed: “Never take a man who won’t treat you right.”

“Anna” is a hauntingly emotional ballad that exemplifies katya.’s artistic DNA. Drawing influences from cinematic American pop and at times evoking the spirit of a Disney soundtrack, her music captures a low-key indie pop sensibility similar to that of Olivia Rodrigo.

katya.s preference for singing in a quiet manner allows the fragility of her voice to coexist with her passionate storytelling. As a 24-year-old Austrian artist, she explores a range of pop-talent themes that reflect the complex emotions of a young woman navigating society. Previously known for her work as a songwriter, Katya now takes centre stage, embracing a newfound sense of calm and claiming her space as a performer.

On August 25, 2023, a significant date marking katya.’s 25th birthday, her debut tape, “25 years on Earth,” will be released. Each song in the collection provides a glimpse into her journey of self-discovery and maturation. The captivating soundscape of her music envelops the intimacy of her personal stories, eventually breaking open into cinematic dimensions. It’s the perfect soundtrack for getting lost in moments of introspective melancholy.
