Artificial

Hotly tipped 17-year-old Yala! Records signee Cathy Jain releases her debut E.P Artificial. Echoing the modernist pop of Billie Eilish, the production flair of Frank Ocean’s more soothing moments, and Lana Del Rey’s nostalgia for the recent past; Artificial is a hazy, sun-kissed, R&B-tinged alt-pop track that stands Cathy out as a unique new voice. Cool Kid immediately made an impact at Radio 1 with the track added to their coveted Introducing playlist; garnering big on-air talk ups from Annie Mac, Clara Amfo and Greg James, while Jack Saunders subsequently named it as his Next Wave pick. Artificial showcases her singular voice, remarkable song craft and bedroom production skills that suggests an artist on the cusp of a major breakthrough
