Catlea
Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA and now based in London, CATLEA (they/them) is a musician, singer-songwriter, and indie-pop artist, whose works are centered on honesty, personal growth, and self-empowerment. With over 15 million streams across platforms, a full-length album, multiple singles, and more than 115 live shows, they’ve built a steady following for their open, thoughtful songwriting. Like a modern-day alchemist, CATLEA transforms private pain into luminous resolve on “Someone’s Got To.” CATLEA’s latest song is an indie pop anthem of self-discovery built on intimate acoustic guitar and sweeping strings, carried by emotive vocals. The song’s refrain of heartache and hope (“If you won’t love me then I will”) lands instantly in equal parts urgent plea and resolute vow. “Someone’s Got To” ignites the power of self-love and brings forth the resolve to turn insecurity into inner strength. For listeners seeking consolation and courage, “Someone’s Got To” offers both a mirror and a map for empowerment and recovery, all in the vein of intimate pop. Standing at the crossroads between past harmful patterns and the desire to change, CATLEA’s personal metaphysical formula is not to rely on others for validation, but to love one’s self first.
