KAT KOAN has joined forces with Freddie Dickson for a titillating new single titled “Time Alone”. This sensual number is seductive, and sexy, and perhaps needs to be listened to intently to find its true underlying secrets. Who’s this seducer, whose contact rivals the narrator’s groom— But I’ll leave the dalliance inquiry to you— perhaps, in your intimate moments, alone…
Regarding the origins of working with Dickson on “Time Alomne”, Koan told me the backstory, “Freddie and I had never met before but I’ve been a fan of his voice and songwriting for a while. One day during the lockdown I contacted him on Instagram for some hardcore fan-girling — We got chatting and decided to write together. I’m so glad we did coz we have now become really good friends, he is one of my favorite people on this planet. It happens very very rarely that you meet someone who is on the same wavelength and whom you have some kind of cosmic connection with. But when you do, it’s easy to write.. it just comes naturally. Loved the process of creating this song and I love performing it live.”
Undoubtedly, these two are a match made in a sultry songwriting heaven. Not just the tabu, if you will, storyline, but the song structure is a journey intrinsically. From the smokey spoken word opening scene-setting sexiness, the electricity of Thomas MacMillan’s guitar riffs, to the final silky pop perfection of Koan’s vocals—This is alluring pop personified. “Time Alone” beckons for more from this pairing.
You can stream the escapism of “Time Alone” (feat. Freddie Dickson) in all its lusciousness; 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
