Since debuting last year, Cat Turner has won praise for her dark-pop sound. She is crafting her own niche of driving synths and raw vocals, and new single ‘Easier’ is testament to her unique talent. Cat is a producer-singer from Galway, who has honed her sound since starting to produce just over a year ago. In this short time, support has come from tastemakers like Hot Press and Clash Music, and live performances have included Electric Picnic and support slots with fellow Irish ones-to-watch Pillow Queens. Her debut EP ‘Contrast’ also saw national airplay, and drew comparisons to artists such as Grimes and Tove Lo.
‘Easier’ exhibits a love-drunk atmosphere as it follows a couple through the ups and downs in their relationship. We are taken from moments of loving affection to full-blown fights, break-up arguments to make-up sex. The subject of falling in love is a confusing one to write about and there is a real sense of honesty with Cat’s lyrics.They are nuanced and exciting, bold but shy, autobiographical and universal; managing to transform the artist’s own story into everyone else’s. Musically, there is an uneasy mood of menace throughout that perfectly matches the subject matter. Staying true to her brand of ‘Goth Pop’, Easier’ marks an ever-growing confidence for this exciting young artist.
Cat Turner: Easier
Cat Turner: Easier Lyrics:
Go ahead and pick it up the wrong way not lie I think about you everyday. Not like I think about you.
Go ahead and pick it up the wrong way don’t care what I’m trying to say. Not like I care about you.
You’re so much easier to love when you’ve got hope to back it up.
I think you’re easier to fuck when we don’t actually touch.
You’re so much easier to hold when I do exactly as I’m told and I think it’d be easier on us if you could simply suck it up.
I wanna get in on you, get in you, wanna get in on you, get in on you.
Go ahead and talk me in that way. Talk to me like we’re not meant to be.
Go ahead and talk like you don’t love me. Talk like you’re above me, although you need me.
You’re so much easier to love when you’ve got hope to back it up.
I think you’re easier to fuck when we don’t actually touch.
You’re so much easier to hold when I do exactly as I’m told and I think it’d be easier on us if you could simply suck it up.
I wanna get in on you, get in you, wanna get in on you, get in on you.
Give it up if you’re not gonna live it up. Then you gotta give me up cause I’m not for you.
Give it up if you’re not gonna live it up. Then you gotta give me up cause I’m not for you.
You’re so much easier to love when you’ve got hope to back it up.
I think you’re easier to fuck when we don’t actually touch.
You’re so much easier to hold when I do exactly as I’m told and I think it’d be easier on us if you could simply suck it up.
I wanna get in on you, get in you, wanna get in on you, get in on you.
