Following her remarkable sold-out headline performance at KOKO earlier this week, platinum-selling South London artist Cat Burns unveils two brand new singles, ‘people pleaser’ and ‘sleep at night’, out today via Since ‘93 / RCA.
Fan favourite ‘people pleaser’ overflows with warm vocal harmonies and uplifting guitar chords. When speaking about her new release, Cat says, “‘people pleaser’ is what it says on the tin, my struggles with being a people pleaser and why I am one.”.
Meanwhile, ‘sleep at night’ is a soaring ballad depicting Cat overcoming hardships, choosing to do so with dignity and grace. One of her most profound songs to date, Cat explains, “sleep at night is a really personal song for me; it’s about being deeply hurt and wronged by someone but deciding to take the high road and not say anything bad about them because you’re a good person.”
A phenomenal year for Streatham’s star-in-waiting, 2022 saw the release of Cat’s six-track emotionally unavailable EP, which includes platinum-selling single ‘go’. The viral heartbreak anthem peaked at #2 and became a permanent fixture in the Top 10 of the Official Singles Chart for 17 weeks. Following the success of ‘go’, Cat joined forces with multi-award-winning artist Sam Smith for a special version, injecting new life into the acclaimed track. Elsewhere, Cat has been announced as Spotify’s Global RADAR artist, joining the likes of Ayra Starr, Griff, Pink Pantheress and Beabadoobee.
The South London artist also made her mark on the live stage this Summer, having recently supported Ed Sheeran on the European leg of his Mathematics Tour. Handpicked by the global superstar, Cat performed to sold-out crowds, gaining a new legion of fans across the continent. She will reunite with Ed next summer, supporting him on the North American leg of his Mathematics Tour alongside American singer/songwriter Khalid.
Cat’s new singles are stellar additions to her flourishing catalogue of releases. Both ‘people pleaser’ and ‘sleep at night’ display the growth of Cat’s artistry and songwriting as she highlights a remarkable year of success.
