Katie has released her final single, ‘Set It Alight’, a track taken from debut album False Starts, Open Endings. ‘Set It Alight’ is a punk song in the truest tradition, with Katie, once again, wearing her heart on her sleeve, showcasing her self depreciative lyricism. Building throughout, the song acts as a rousing call to arms, while displaying Katie’s DIY ethics and punk-rock spirit.

The song, following on from previous single ‘Japanese Whiskey,’ is delivered with the gusto of legendary protest songs of years gone by. Katie tackles themes surrounding the patriarchy, power dynamics and societal expectations related to female conformity. With a driving beat, rousing harmonies and scuzzy guitar, the track runs breathlessly for just over two and a half minutes.

The song, written in anticipation of the ending of the pandemic lockdown, twirls with a sense of pent-up raucous energy and carpe diem spirit amongst a nostalgic longing for getting back to a fun-filled normal life.

Talking about the track, Katie explained: “The chorus references wanting open endings and false starts as a counterpoint to the predictability of endless days alone in my flat, where I wrote the song, and the rest is just a bit of a fuck it, let’s move fast now because I am SO DONE with being patient and living a slow life.”
