A thunderous new alternative pop release was added to Cat Ridgeway‘s musical catalogue, ‘Sprinter’ is the perfectly balanced combination of pop and rock.
‘Sprinter’ takes us on a journey from soft vocal harmonies to powerful and frustrated vocals, and from sweet pop hooks to thumping drums and heavy bass lines. The single is about a friend she lost to depression and mental health, and translates that emotional journey into a musical one. Ridgeway shows a different colour palette on this latest release, highlighting her versatility and the power that lies within dealing with the love and grief of life through music.
Playing with influences taken from surf pop, rock, alt rock and indie pop, the single is a true surprise with hooks from the very beginning until the very end, ‘Sprinter’ offers a smorgasbord of sounds and song writing skills. Writing this single, Ridgeway overcame the challenges of understanding the fragility of human existence, duality of life and death, and her encounters with those close to her struggling with mental health. The single is drenched in emotion, translating grief, love, heartache, frustration, and helplessness into skilful compositions. ‘Sprinter’ is a piece of art, and offers a shoulder to lean or cry on while you or I might go through similar situations.
