Kathy Katouzi – BOTP

It’s a big day for Canadian starlet Kathy Katouzi, who has just released her brilliant self-produced debut album, ‘I AM*’.

It’s an impressive record, to say the least. Among the seven songs, ‘BOTP’ stands out to us thanks to its jagged style of sound and its beautifully presented vocals. The production showcases a very distinctive and unique approach to alternative pop that feels playful and eccentric but also serious and heartfelt.

The album centres around ’embracing the intensity of emotion as a source of power’, and we can certainly feel that as we play the record. You can explore all of Katouzi’s work on Spotify here.

New Music: Kathy Katouzi

Hailing from Toronto is a hugely interesting new musician who goes by the name of Kathy Katouzi.

This artist cites her Iranian roots as a source of creative inspiration, and crafts her work in a way that defies the nation’s intolerance of creativity.

“In my country creativity was taken from women, not provided.”

The new single ‘AFTERPARTY!’ is a bold and refreshingly raw piece of music that fuses indie with alt-pop in a bright and energising way.

The sound is like nothing else we’ve heard in a long time, and it makes us believe that Katouzi could well be one of Canada’s most promising emerging stars.
