Velerable, Catchy and All Too Relatable, Velaso’s latest single is proof that she is not afraid to tell it as it is.
Kat Velasco has never been afraid to become personal in her music and her new single “Breaking My Own Heart” is no exception. The Nashville-based artist’s latest track emerges in the universal feeling of expecting the worst only when things start to feel right.
Single written with Claire Douglas, Hannah Ellis and Jason Massey, mix Velasco’s power plant with a soft but steady track. The texts cut sharply, with her admitted: “If it feels too good, it will probably change.” For anyone who has ever been caught between hope and heart damage, it is a line that feels like it was written directly from their own note app.
Velaso’s story began in Columbia, South Carolina, where she grew up and performed in Pageants and Musical Theater before chasing her dream to Nashville. That mixture of confidence in early stage and Småstad’s roots comes through in her music today, and nowhere clearer than in “Breaking My Own Heart.”
What makes Velasco reason with a younger audience is her ability to become unfiltered. She has described her music as “Just Me”, which points to the influence of Stevie Nicks, Kacey Musgraves and Miley Cyrus, all artists known to pair honesty with boldness. The same spirit lives in “Breaking My Own Heart”, which gives vulnerability without losing its immediate replay value.
With its first EP on the horizon and the live show that is stacked up, Velasco quickly transforms listeners into loyal fans. “Breaking My Own Heart” is more than just her latest edition. It is a signal of where she is going: forward, honest and entirely herself.
