“Crumbling“ by Catlea

Cinncinati’s singer-songwriter Catlea’s new single, “Crumbling,” is a mesmerizing blend of alt-indie rock, pop, and electronic music. It showcases their beautifully angelic vocals and heartfelt lyrics over a relaxing, piano-driven instrumental, which becomes more powerful as the song continues. Catlea’s genre-fusing music is a unique and exciting journey, and “Crumbling” is a perfect example of their distinctive musical style, as the song twists and turns throughout.

“Crumbling” begins with a tranquil piano and Catlea’s vocals. As the song unfolds, the instrumental and vocals strengthen and intensify, mirroring the protagonist’s journey. The song beautifully captures the duality of human experience—the struggle to meet unrealistic expectations and the eventual triumph of resilience and self-reconstruction. This transformation is vividly depicted musically and lyrically, inviting the audience to empathize with Catlea’s journey as well as our own.

Catlea offers words to those listening: “To those who are lost: we can always find ourselves again, no matter how many times we may crumble.” This sentiment is beautifully intertwined within Catlea’s music and will only continue giving listeners a unique listening experience.

“Crumbling” is available on all major music streaming platforms!
