Taking inspiration from avant-garde, if you will, Baxter Dury‘s playbook— Berliner GTC-fave Kat Koan delivers a “humorous, autobiographical documentation of a semi-dramatic nervous breakdown” of a single, “Loose Woman”.
The above quote was provided to me by Koan and her record label collective Must Be Mad Records and in full delves into the cheeky and vulnerable origin story of the track, “Loose Woman”— is a light-hearted, humorous, autobiographical documentation of a semi-dramatic nervous breakdown that happened when “one morning all plans went pear-shaped and patience went down the drain”. No longer feeling the need to pretend that everything is shiny and running smoothly, Kat Koan lets rip on this catchy tongue-in-cheek art-pop tune.” Agreed.
Track after addictive track, I’m convinced Koan’s mission is to seduce listeners into her interestingly meandering world. For this fan, mission accomplished. “Loose Woman” while intensely personal, Koan’s sexiness and waggish tendencies shine through, and her task to sway us all continues in compelling full force. With its spoken word style vocals, the temptatious bassline groove, and lyrics that’ll give you contemplation if not tingles galore will entice even the strongest of constitutions. Swoon.
Take your sweater off and listen to Kat Koan’s latest elixir “Loose Woman” here at the GTC.

”I write lyrics, melodies and create visuals, mainly because it’s a great excuse to escape real life. I only found out a couple of years ago that making music is a really brilliant way to get things out of my system and it makes me super happy.” – Kat Koan
