The artist uses her savvy, soulful sound to explore grief and coping on her latest single.
On her latest single ‘Teeth’, emerging artist Kitty Montague does a great job of contrasting an upbeat and even fun soundscape with a narrative that is entrenched in impending grief and sorrow, as the artist anticipates the expected loss of a loved one. This dichotomy makes for a listening experience that feels as affecting and poignant as it does infectious, with the indie pop artist’s soulful sound amplifying both facets of the style.
The essence of the track captures the mixed emotions and nuances of the situation beautifully, with the sense of shock and way that your world can suddenly be turned on its head captured effortlessly through the skilled and heartfelt nature of Kitty Montague’s storytelling and her ability to find solace and normality in the mundane and every day. ‘Teeth’ is a truly powerful single that continues to showcase just how special and talented the artist is, equal parts catchy, heartbreaking, soulful and immersive, the track picks up on the nuances and complexities of losing somebody close and weaves them into a narrative that feels moving, devastating, and wholly human.
Kitty shares, “Although incredibly painful and life changing events are happening around us, we still find ourselves going through the motions with small monotonous actions like brushing our teeth. “Teeth” explores the complexities of these contradictions, as well as noting how mundane day to day actions keep us grounded at a time in our life that everything else is changing.”
