Singled Out: Kateri's Skin


. Today Kateri tells us about the song "Skin" from her forthcoming coming album "Room 448," which she worked on with Rob Fusari (Lady Gaga, Beyonce). Here is the story:

Skin was probably one of the easiest, most organic songs for me to write! I had just gotten home from the cigar lounge my friend and I chill at ( shout out Big Buddha woot woot) and I poured myself a glass of cherry wine. Drinking naturally leads to cooking random things- I thought trying to make a BBQ pasta sauce was a good idea ( not so much haha) and began singing a melody. Blame it on the BBQ sauce, the cigars or the classic cherry wine- but it was magic!

Long story short, I wanted to sum up who I was as a nerdy, quiet child to the tatted up, artsy fartsy, outspoken woman I became. The lyrics are sort of a metaphor to that change with things that became a piece of me as I discovered who I truly was.

When I went to the studio the next day to write some tunes with Rob (Thorne) I was all excited for him to jam to these haunting & simple chords on the baby grand, and when I sang "Get f***ed on champagne," we both burst out laughing. It was a total like "wow we are just TOO cool" moment. He had just gotten this rad new mic for the studio and this was the first song recorded on it- total honor and something I will always remember with this song! I hope you all enjoy- stay tuned for the rest of the record! Thank you for listening!

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself here and learn more about the Kateri right here!
