Catherine Elms introduces herself to UK music listeners as an indie singer and songwriter with a strong passion for heavy metal, baroque pop, and alternative rock. Her most recent effort, βFire song,β the second single from her career, showcases her musical ability.
The dramatic and fulfilling build up in instrumentation goes hand in hand with the mounting passion of the lyrics. Her vocals, layered atop jarring strings and haunting rhythms, create a gripping and compelling sound that is uniquely her own. βThe song represents my first steps on a journey out of the dark, a journey toward the place and the person Iβm meant to beβ, says Catherine of the meaning of the song, βfeeling of calling for something more, and finally setting yourself free from fear and comfortable safetyβ. A captivating music video for the song is available as well, featuring Catherineβs engaging performance with cinematic brillianceΒ of videographer Scott Chalmers. Imagine yourself in a film about a powerful witch in an old Celtic society who must cut herself free from the constraints of the mundane in order to realize her true power.
Itβs clear that her own experiences in the music industry served as inspiration for this song. This year also sees the release of the Welsh musicianβs powerful debut single, βFrustration,β which has a more rocky and grungy vibe than βFire Song.β In terms of her musical career, she has a great deal of promise. I believe Catherine Elms will be a name to watch in the future.
