Catlea Shares New Single ‘Like Me’
The musical tastes of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Catlea range widely, encompassing pop, rock, alt-indie, and electronic dance music. The alt-indie singer’s voice is a mix of raw, forceful, and beautiful. Catlea performs the piano, ukulele, acoustic guitar, and rhythm guitar to complement their unique vocals.
For their forthcoming full-length album titled, Language Barrier, the Cincinnati native worked closely with producer Jason Boshoff (Ed Sheeran, Josh Groban, David Grey, Rufus Wainwright) of Room to Studios in Barcelona, Spain, spending three years writing, producing, and refining ten new alt-indie songs. Every voice track by Catlea was recorded locally at PLAY Audio, formerly known as Gwynne Sound.
They return with their latest offering ‘Like Me’. With a powerful tune and amazing vocals, ‘Like Me’ is an emotional journey that speaks to our yearning for connection. It builds nicely to a loud, poignant finish of inspiration and optimism. Remain still. Remain persistent. Things will improve. You’re not by yourself. There are people out there just like you.
The delivery of Catlea’s vocals, which is characterised by its charisma and energy, is particularly noteworthy. The song’s lyrical content is wonderfully complemented by the singer’s confident and attitude-filled voice. The song’s lyrics exalt self-expression and acceptance while enticing listeners to value their individuality and genuineness.
The song’s recognisable hooks and memorable chorus contribute to its influence. The catchy melody of the song makes it simple for listeners to join in and absorb its positive message of acceptance of oneself. It’s a self-assured and uplifting piece of music that embraces originality and radiates confidence. The rhythmic instrumental opening of the song instantly draws in the listener and establishes a positive and joyful mood.
Catlea’s ‘Like Me’ is a skillfully written, upbeat song that communicates concepts of individuality and self-empowerment. The song is a call to embrace individuality and celebrate authenticity with its self-assured voice, strong lyrics, and lively instrumental arrangement. Highlighting enthusiastic pop tunes, catchy beats, and an energetic production is the instrumental arrangement, these components work in unison to produce an enticing and danceable soundscape making it a well-executed production. For individuals who enjoy songs that promote self-expression and acceptance of oneself, this is an engaging and inspirational listen.
Big Media Creative, who also produced Twenty One Pilots’ ‘Stressed Out’ music video, produced the ‘Like Me’ music video.
“I love writing songs, making music, and performing live,” said Catlea. Their songs feature catchy “earworms” with witty lyrics and melodies that get inside your head and make you want to click replay. “I try to create music that has personal meaning to me and anyone listening.”

Das Mörtal Announces Mini-Album DECVY I with Double Single “PARASITE” & “GHOST”
Dark synthwave producer Das Mörtal returns with a striking new double single, “PARASITE” & “GHOST”, marking the first glimpse into his upcoming mini-album DECVY I, due 29 October 2026.
Across two contrasting but connected tracks, the Montréal-based artist continues to expand his signature blend of darkwave, techno, and cinematic electronic music.
“PARASITE” drives forward with urgent rhythm and sharp synth work, channeling tension into motion. Built on a fast-moving beat structure and glowing melodic fragments, the track carries a darker conceptual weight beneath its kinetic surface. As Das Mörtal explains, “An illness has affected my body for some time now, and PARASITE was made under a pain that I can’t quite shake off.”
That sense of internal pressure translates directly into the music. Rather than abstracting emotion, the track seems to process it in real time, turning discomfort into propulsion and fragility into momentum.
Its counterpart, “GHOST” shifts into a more spectral space. Infused with witch-house textures and melodic vocal elements, the track leans into atmosphere and contrast, balancing hypnotic rhythm with a more immediate, club-ready energy. Where “PARASITE” feels like tension held in motion, “GHOST” feels like release through repetition.
Together, the two tracks form a deliberate pairing: one grounded in physical strain, the other in fading presence. It’s a duality that reflects Das Mörtal’s broader artistic identity, music that sits between body and machine, emotion and distortion, dancefloor and interior world.
With this release, Das Mörtal sets the tone for DECVY I: a project that appears to move deeper into themes of transformation, fragility, and musical intensity, without losing sight of the club-focused energy that defines his work.
