Kat Marcella, an indie-alternative singer-songwriter from Queens, New York, has carved out a strong reputation for her poignant lyricism and voice that is both gentle and soulful. Her ethereal soundscapes weave dream-like sequences, immersing listeners into her world of emotion and introspection whilst seeking solace.
‘Love Makes Me Cry’ explores the emotional spectrum of love—capturing heartbreak for its unexpected beauty, and focusing on the transformative power. This is reflected in the track’s dynamic pacing, beginning with a slow, soothing vocaliser that seamlessly unfolds into shimmering instrumentals.
However, Kat Marcella introduces experimentation with a strong backbeat, using a static-like drum that cleverly disrupts the song’s dreamy essence by gradually becoming more intense, adding a grounded element, and a sense of reality and practicality.
From here, ‘Love Makes Me Cry’ builds up into a captivating blend of dreamy and intense instrumentals, perfectly complementing Kat’s soft, vulnerable vocals. As she navigates the possibility of love rekindling her belief in it, a shimmering sense of optimism emerges. This is reflected in lyrics like, “With you by my side/ I would try one more time / I'm not lovesick / I just fall quick / If they tell me that I’m perfect / Love makes me cry”.
With ‘Love Makes Me Cry’, Kat Marcella masterfully balances vulnerability and hope, crafting a track that is both ethereal and deeply grounded. Through heart-rendering lyricism, rich instrumentation, and a delicate yet powerful vocal delivery, she invites listeners into an emotional journey that lingers long after the final note.
