Song Review/ Alternative : Kat Kikta’s ‘Cherry Trees’

Kat Kikta’s music is so uniquely cinematic. Her soundscape is crafted with expansive stylistic pallets. From alt folk to neoclassicals to electronica to ambient music, the range is free and fluid, intermingling to form new colors, textures, and patterns. Her latest release is ‘Cherry Trees’, a track that is fitting for this Spring season. Marked by themes of growth, revival, and creativity, the track further reinforces and ties into the song’s title and its spirit. 

The track has a shifting vocal trajectory. From spoken word verses to spatial harmonies to angelic singing, it has a mesmerizing way of blending with the mood and frames of the soundscape. The artist hits a lot of cerebral notes, dispersing the music into ethereal planes, and then drawing it out into newer frames of contemplation and feeling. We see so many arcs that overarchingly explore the sanctity of the earth, our raw and visceral connections to it, and the importance of preserving its beauty, its fragility, and its intricacies. She links this wisdom very subtly to human experiences and human life in general. Within the alternative soundscape of her, it all takes on beautiful perspectives that have the power to change minds.

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
