CATLEA “I don’t make good choices; I avoid them like the plague. Telling myself
everything’s okay but I can’t feel my legs.”
So begins the contagious power groove ‘Why Them?’. The fifth song released from Catlea’s acclaimed concept album ‘Language Barrier’ is about struggling with self-understanding while simultaneously dealing with the insecurities and jealousies of several admirers.
‘Why Them?’ deftly explores conflicting relationship dynamics when no one, including Catlea, is mature enough to know what they want. Driving beats, infectious hooks, and sensual vocals propel listeners on a roller coaster of passion as Catlea fervently questions the wisdom of giving attention and affection to someone else when you desperately need to find yourself first.
“And I think it’s kinda funny you’d think I’d have learned by now, but
I’m barely starting out and I still can’t find myself.”
The pulsing indie-pop song rocks its way to the bridge where a haunting, toned down guitar subtly echoes Catlea’s questioning lyrics before bursting forth in an eruption of power chords, drums, and vocals that symbolize Catlea’s reclamation of personal power in strong defiance of the demands of others.
The cycle of self-reflection comes full circle from questioning and vulnerability to empowerment as Catlea confidently declares … “Why them, indeed.”
