In The Spotlight

Cat Clyde – “Man’s World”

Hailing from rural Ontario, this Canadian singer and songwriter got the musical bug from watching her grandfather playing the fiddle and her uncles playing folk guitar. She started playing guitar herself aged 14 and began busking about town. She’s played festivals like Latitude and the End Of The Road Festival, as well as venues like Paradiso in Amsterdam and The Troubadour in London. Inspired by Etta James, Billie Holiday and Lee Hazlewood, she debuted with “Like A Wave” in 2016.

Capturing the frustration of having to navigate a patriarchal society, her new single expresses the negative effects this can have on women. Taken from her upcoming album “Mud Blood Bone”, expected on March 13th, the song blends roots, blues and soul into one sonic brew. Starting with an acoustic guitar, the chased melody is further driven by swampy blues guitars and a hot beat. And with the fiery passion of her vocals, this raucous groove is high-spirited folky blues done just right.
