“Krystof´s music has a great rhythm, catchy melodies and is filled with emotion. It is a great musical experience with a lot of soul. The perfect soundtrack for rainy days, whether you're cuddled up on the couch or driving around with your windows down.”

Artist said about this song:

"Radio is a song about a breakup, where one of the broken-hearted still believes in ,,us``even though they got hurt. I wrote the song after I put out my previous song called ,,One of the Few Things" (I´m so sure of), because it ended up in a breakup. The song is a message to all the hopeless romantic ones out there." - KRYSTOF

Gebrasy – Resolution
(Spotify)

“When you feel really tired from routine, want to give up and leave it all behind, but your old self resists. Your favourite Indie Pop sound is likely to give you the energy for a new start. The artist here faces the same problem and sings to communicate his message. Don't skip it!”

-Nagamag.com

This song is about becoming fed up with your life of being stuck in a routine and wanting to change that. It's about leaving everything behind and starting a new life somewhere else, where nobody knows you and can't have any prior misconceptions about you. Although the journey is not easy, the lyrical hero is haunted by his past and it's difficult to runaway from the old you completely, but this is also a song of hope and determination, because even if you're unsuccessful at the very start, you're still moving forward in hopes that you'll find solace and freedom from your thoughts and daily life.

Kat Penkin – Love Sex Fame
(Video)

“”Kat Penkin” new single burns like fire and invites you in a crazy dance. Commercial sound, packed with strongly uplifting mood and super sensual vocals. We’re pretty sure that this banger is going to make your day in a blink of an eye. Boom!”

-Nagamag.com

Today pop upstart Kat Penkin shares the glam-packed ‘50s-inspired video for brand new single “Love Sex Fame”.

https://www.instagram.com/katpenkin/

Sonically evoking the spirit of Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia and building on the disco resurgence of the last few years, Penkin’s latest offering is an upbeat earworm ready to soundtrack your next carefree night out.

““Love Sex Fame” is about stepping out, feeling yourself and living for yourself and your own wants and needs,” Kat explains and she certainly gets what she wants in the track’s music video. Starring as a Marilyn-esque figure, she fools the players of a back room poker game with her charm, wit and girl gang by her side.

For Kat, the song is about taking things at face value, something which comes naturally to the rising star. “I feel so empowered when I’m listening to “Love Sex Fame”,” she says, “I’ve never really been too precious about transactional interactions with people, I don’t tend to feel too attached or think too far ahead, I just want to enjoy the funny little dance you do with a potential love interest and take it for what it is.”

Born in Devon, raised in Perth, Australia, and now based in Brighton, Kat has been hard at work writing and developing her nostalgic, but fresh sound. Blending relatable lyrics with pop, R&B and soulful influences, her music is a unique melting pot of sensibility and sass.

Fostering a community of loyal fans and tastemaker support through her independent single releases last year, “Love Sex Fame” is the second preview of her forthcoming debut EP Checkmate, set for release early next year with Ultra Records.

The new single follows her lockdown-inspired debut “A Better Time” supported by Wonderland and New Music Friday UK. Already a shapeshifting artist, the first single leans into Kat’s love of soul, whereas “Love Sex Fame” takes on disco and there are more exciting twists and turns across the six-track collection, which is set to establish Kat as one to watch as we move into 2022.
