After reigniting her creative flame with the explosive 'Medusa', Welsh alt-rocker Catherine Elms wastes no time in turning up the voltage. Her new single 'Brutal Heart' is a thunderous, emotionally-charged release that claws at the edges of vulnerability and catharsis.
From the opening bars, the track bristles with electricity. Guitars surge like a tide coming in too fast, and beneath it all, Elms’ voice cuts through with both grit and grace. Her delivery is commanding. There’s a weathered strength to the way she inhabits the track, as if every word has been hard-won.
While the instrumentation roars and pulses with arena-sized urgency, it never drowns out the emotional nuance of the songwriting. 'Brutal Heart' is as much about resilience as it is rage. The track walks a sharp line between personal and universal, its themes of emotional wreckage and self-reclamation hitting like a gut punch one minute and a rallying cry the next.
If 'Medusa' cracked open the door on this new era for her, 'Brutal Heart' kicks it off the hinges. It’s the sound of someone reclaiming their voice and wielding it like a weapon. With a growing arsenal of blistering releases and a sharpened creative vision, Catherine Elms is fast becoming a force to be reckoned with in the alt-rock landscape.
