Katy Hurt – Seasons

Katy Hurt is becoming adept at soundscaping. Carving out a liminal space into which she deposits her emotive lyrics. In her new single ‘Seasons’, they set sail on a sea of frank honesty. Inviting the listener to explore feelings of change, uncertainty and inevitability, against a vivid backdrop of abstract Folk/Pop. As with ‘Oh Girl’, there is a complexity to the human condition which is captured not only in the words but the accompanying music. Katy lays out her experience with all the vulnerability of the acoustic guitar. Her self-expression open to identification whether in part or in full. Either way, life is no longer to be considered as a linear journey but, for better or worse, a cyclical process, in which “I go round and around and around… just like the seasons”. The song’s mystical ending capturing a dual sense of freedom and insecurity, acceptance and pondering. A more familiar state of being than we perhaps care to admit. But Katy does, and with genuine heart.
