Paying homage to some of the most outspoken women in previous music history – Avril Lavigne, Katie Melua, Billie Eilish – Georgia-born Ekaterine is the bright new face in pop-rock whose talents have to be heard to be believed.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

You might know her name already from her previous single \u2018DreamTaun\u2019 – picked up in more than ten countries, or heard her perform as part of BBC Introducing Live with her song \u2018Love Insane\u2019 way back in 2017.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s something otherworldly about this singer, whose songs always come with a certain edge, constantly moving away from the conventions we recognise in pop music already. The coolness that Ekaterine exudes comes from a place of complete authenticity and effortlessness; this is someone who knows not only what she wants, but also exactly how to go about getting it. In 2021, the stage is set for someone like Ekaterine – bold, not afraid to show her insecurities, endlessly creative and ready to share it all with the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ekaterine\u2019s new single is out 5th March 2021, meanwhile follow her at @ekaterine_go on Instagram!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
