Kent singer Katie Kittermaster built quite a fanbase opening for acts like Soul II Soul, Kaiser Chiefs, Rick Astley, Olly Murs and Lucy Spraggan. COVID-19 may have temporarily stopped the touring, but it didn’t stop the singer from touching new hearts. The songs she put out in 2020 were supported by over 80 radio stations in Great-Britain alone.

Kittermaster has a knack for wrapping up honest, melancholy lyrics in uplifting instrumentation. Her new single Lukewarm Lover takes this concept to a new level. It’s a cleverly crafted pop song, that’s more modern, electronic and danceable than her songs so far.

Talking about the track, she says: “Lukewarm Lover is a track about a relationship where the spark has fizzled out. Both parties are just going through the motions, but don’t know really how to bring it to its natural conclusion. (…) It’s less apologetic and doesn’t dance around the evidently tricky situation, I love this about it, as I feel it shows real personal growth as well as (hopefully) my development as a writer too!”
