Catterina Reminisces on Romance Before Heartbreak in New Single “Waiting”

Indie-pop singer-songwriter Catterina delivers heartbreaking poetry in her new single, “Waiting,” out now, 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 colourful 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 sombre heartbreak anthem reminiscent of artists like Phoebe Bridgers, Adele, and Maggie Rogers.

Inspiration for “Waiting” was taken from Catterina’s personal experiences. The track planted its roots in a moment of longing, for the artist, in which she found herself returning to an old voicemail from a past love. She recounts reminiscing on the withered romance, wishing she could take a step back in time with the hope that she may experience that familiar warmth again. The artist walks listeners through the sour feelings of uncertainty and regret for decisions that are already set in stone, offering a harrowing rawness and vulnerability in her lyrics.

Catterina perfectly captures how regardless of where we are in the post-break-up healing process, it can be so easy to romanticize the good times from a past relationship, making it harder to move on. For her, this song represents the moment where, “as much as [she hates] to admit, you’re just waiting on the call you know you’ll never receive.”

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 Bridgcaaers. 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.
