From becoming an influencing actress and known as the powerful witch on The Vampire Diaries series as Bonnie Bennett, to being a singer with a beautiful voice, Kat Graham now returns with a new single, ‘Swim‘.
Since releasing her recent album in 2017 called ‘Love Music Funk Magic‘, Kat Graham is returning to music with a unique switch in music genres. Her new single ‘Swim‘ is a mixture of genres based on hip hop and electronic pop, this differentiates from her previous music, filled with mainstream funky pop.
However, like all Kat’s singles, she continues to provide a powerful message, ‘Swim‘ conveys the story that there is hope to get through a break-up; you are stronger than you think. Opening up on the song, Kat explains the lyrics mean “Instead of saying ‘I am heartbroken how can I survive without you’, it’s turning to the one that broke you and saying ‘well I hope you can swim without me.’
While dropping a new single, Kat also announces the revelation of her upcoming EP, ‘TORO GATO: PART I‘, releasing on September 10th on YellowHeart, the NFT marketplace. This EP will contain six tracks alongside short films with them too.
This release will be the start of Kat reinventing herself as ‘Toro Gato’, which in Spanish means the ‘Bull Cat’, representing the light and dark parts of your conscious and subconscious mind while celebrating the inner self.
On her Instagram story, Kat explains the album is more personal to her than any album she has previously released, “Being somebody who has dealt with a lot of heartbreak and loss in my life, it can own you and haunt you. Toro Gato is the part of us that embraces that inner fight.”
Accompanied with the single ‘Swim‘ is a meaningful, creative music video choreographed by Meghan Sanett. The concept behind the music video is the inner battle of the subconscious mind where we are always constantly fighting with. Altogether, director Darren Genet, Kat Graham, Meghan Sanett and Michael Robinson created an extraordinary piece.
Toro Gato is going to be a remarkable creation of Kat Graham, showing us we are not alone, and we can continue to stay confident despite having the battles inside of us.
