Kate Morgan is a Canadian-born, LA-based songwriter and artist who has penned hits for The Chainsmokers, Upsahl and many more. Kateโs new single โFoolโ is a perfectly crafted love lament thatโs heartfelt and believable from the get-go.
The video for the song is one of this yearโs finest because the imagery of a lonely sailboat adrift on a huge lake is the perfect metaphor for what Morgan is communicating.
โI wrote this about a very real situation,โ says Morgan. โI had a long-term relationship in my early 20s that was really loving and supportive but ultimately I still had this burning desire to explore the world and myself and didnโt feel ready to take the next steps in our relationship. I broke up with him, thinking that maybe one day we would find each other again. A year later he was engaged to my hairdresser. I saw a picture of them together on her Instagram and wrote this song. Now, Iโm so happy for them, but at the time it felt awful.โ
Morganโs previous single โPretty Delusionsโ is an achingly beautiful, neo-psychedelic song that has one of the most fabulous melodies Iโve heard in ages. Initially it reminds you of Chris Isaakโs moody โWicked Gameโ, but the after-chorus has a haunting, almost Beatle-y quality.
โFoolโ is the work of a master songwriter whoโs now confidently emerging as an artist with a very bright future.
