Catlea - Why Them?

Catlea is a musician, singer, songwriter, and rising pop star from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. Inspired by music’s endless possibilities and the infinite ways to express one’s self beyond words alone, Catlea’s songs are filled with layers of meaning, layers of gorgeous vocals, and layers of complex soundscapes in an eclectic musical spectrum ranging from indie- pop to rock and EDM.

To the native Cincinnati singer-songwriter, music is the connective substance between body, mind and spirit, between isolation and connection. Catlea’s debut concept album, ‘Language Barrier’, is a multi-layered tour de force that takes listeners on an emotional journey through a crumbling romance. The singer-songwriter was inspired and motivated by a gaslighting partner who blindsided and trapped Catlea in an elaborate web of lies and deceit. ‘Language Barrier’ is Catlea’s ten-song masterwork response—sifting through the ruins of the betrayal to create something beautiful and timeless. But this indie pop gem is no buzzkill. ‘Language Barrier’ brims with catchy, evocative lyrics and infectious melodies on every track.

Now, Catlea presents the song ‘Why Them?’, an anthem of resilience and self-reliance. This contagious indie pop track is the fifth release from Catlea’s acclaimed concept album ‘Language Barrier’. Driving beats, infectious hooks, and sensual vocals propel listeners on a roller coaster of passion as Catlea fervently questions the wisdom of giving attention and affection to someone else when you desperately need to find yourself first
