Cat Burns is a singer-songwriter whose music is centered mostly around stripped down folk style ballads infused with varying degrees of contemporary pop, which has been coming more to the front in her recent releases. She broke out when she went viral on TikTok with her song go in 2022, then followed it with an EP and a string of singles that continued to wrap her introspective lyrics inside economic melodies. Her songs often touch on themes of emotional vulnerability and self-examination around issues of isolation and social angst that she delivers in a textured voice and a gentle, somewhat R&B inspired style.
