Canadian-born, London-based pop singer-songwriter Cate has just released her eagerly awaited new single, “Rocket Science”, alongside surprise bonus track “You Don’t Love Me” via Believe – (available here).

Inspired by the likes of Dolly Parton and childhood hero Hannah Montana while drawing a resemblance to noughties-era Taylor Swift, “Rocket Science” follows the summer releases of “U Want Me” and “One Hit Wonder”. The single sees her tell a story of a toxic lover and the emotions of the affected party. The track is fuelled with playful yet painful lyricism recalling; ignorance, gaslighting behaviour, and casual infidelity, exposing Cate in her rawest form yet.

Check out the single here:

Talking about the track, Cate says:

“I had the line “loving me isn’t rocket science” on my phone for a while. I’ve been in relationships in the past where sometimes things that would normally be common sense on what not to do in a relationship are done, and there’s this angry resentment that comes with it. I’m calling it my soft launch back into doing more country-pop music.”

Speaking about the bonus track, Cate explains:

“I wrote this song about knowing someone has fallen out of love with you before they even know it themselves. It was one of the first songs I wrote in Nashville! I wrote it with Todd Clark and Donovan Woods. I’ve loved Donovan’s music for years so the session was a dream come true for me. We wrote about the small things that happen before a breakup and how devastating it is that the person you’re with isn’t doing the things / showing you they love you like they used to.”

After taking to the stage as Maisie Peters’ support act on her recent tour and performing to a packed out crowd at last year’s The Great Escape Festival in Brighton, as well as her own hugely successful UK & Ireland headline tour last year, this year looks like picking up where 2023 left off starting with this new single.

I have an unhealthy obsession with bad horror movies, the song Wanted Dead Or Alive and crap British game shows. I do this not because of the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll lifestyle it affords me but more because it gives me an excuse to listen to bands that sound like hippos mating.
