Get Better, Cate’s most recent single, and the new songs coming up this year depart somewhat from Cate’s roots, forged as she grew up playing country music in Abbotsford, Canada – and take a running jump squarely into the pop arena, glistening with synths, strings, and choruses readymade for big room singalongs. And while these sounds may be surprising for some listeners, they make perfect sense alongside Cate’s always whip-smart writing, the songs showcasing for the first time the huge scale of her ambition.
