The lead singer of the indie-pop trio dropped a new single ahead of her debut solo album 'What a Relief,' releasing Oct. 25. She spoke with WBUR about the inspiration behind her project.
.” “She said that I got her if I want/ She's so soft like silk chiffon,” lead singer Katie Gavin sings about the dreamy, airy feeling of falling in love.
I hopped on a Zoom call with Gavin and her cat Button from her apartment in Los Angeles. As she folded laundry, she discussed healing from past unhealthy relationship patterns, shared advice for people stuck in similar cycles and explained the importance of growth in romantic partnerships.Maddie Browning: As a part of MUNA, you recently released your first live album. I love the ‘80s-inspired, futuristic build on your first song “What I Want.
I feel like it's pretty common to have — maybe regardless of sexuality, but especially amongst queer people, especially in my generation, because I think a lot of us lived through our adolescence closeted — this bend toward unrequited love. I also was into unavailable people for a really long time, and … it took me a while to be willing to look at my own part in those patterns. So I wanted to change how I was acting, and I took some time off of dating in my mid-20s.
You are now embarking on a solo project. On your debut album “What a Relief,” you are exploring the nuances of relationships and love. Tell me more about that. It feels like the beginning of something, but it's actually a song about when you have an experience with somebody and then time passes, whether that's like you hooked up with someone once and then just didn't hear from them for a long time, or maybe you tried dating someone, but the timing wasn't right, but I definitely experienced that a lot of carrying a torch for somebody.
