Last year, Kate Bollinger marked her arrival with I Don’t Wanna Lose – a deftly-produced EP that struck a sweet spot between pop, folk, jazz and beat-driven experimentation. Having said, “My songs, and the sadness in them, comes from reflecting on an easier time,” Bollinger’s debut offered up masterfully breezy escapism.
Following on from “A Couple Things”, released earlier this year, new single “Grey Skies” is another carefully-crafted jazz-pop gem. Taken from A word becomes a sound, her forthcoming five-track EP that was finished in lockdown, the single is “about looking for warning signs, like ominous clouds or grey skies, and not letting them bother you and convincing myself that they don’t mean anything.”
