Electronic musician and vocalist Mari Kattman is known for her work as part of the electronic duo Helix as well as a solo artist in her own right. ‘Sharp Shooter’ is the second single to be teased from a new album entitled ‘Year Of The Katt’, her debut full-length solo release for Metropolis Records (and third overall), which is scheduled for release on 20th June.
“‘Sharp Shooter’ explores the theme of an intelligent soul that navigates to painful circumstances for the chance to grow. No shots missed”, states Kattman. The song follows the recent ‘Anemia’, which drew a parallel between vampiric exploitation and the weakness often suffered by those living with the condition.
Of the new album as a whole, she explains that “finishing it was a truly herculean effort. It was an album completely recorded, composed and produced by myself, so there were a lot of learning curves and things I needed to sort out before I was truly happy with the end product. I feel relief and enormously proud that I got it done.”
One of the most captivating artists on today’s electronic music scene, Kattman has been writing, recording, producing and performing since 2012. She has collaborated with the likes of Assemblage 23, Mesh, Ivardensphere, Jean-Marc Lederman, Psy’Aviah, Aesthetiche, Neuroticfish, BlackCarBurning, Cassetter, This Morn Omina, Solitary Experiments, Mephisto Walz, Aiboforcen, Interface, Comaduster and more.
Kattman’s impressive resumé of vocal contributions for these acts bely her own talents as a songwriter and producer. Singles such as ‘Fever Shakes’, ‘URGOD.AI’ and ‘Swallow’ have already demonstrated her prowess in crafting hook-laden, irresistibly catchy electronic songs tailor-made for the dance floor, where elements of Trap, Hip Hop, Electro, Ambient, EBM and Industrial music interplay with her powerfully distinctive voice.
