Katie Gavin, lead singer of the indie pop band Muna, debuted a new song at a recent Japanese House concert in Los Angeles. The song, titled “What a Relief,” is the first single off of Gavin’s upcoming solo album of the same name, set to be released on October 25.
Gavin’s performance at the Japanese House show was met with excitement and praise from fans, who were eager to hear her new material. The song, which features dreamy synths and Gavin’s signature ethereal vocals, showcases her growth as a solo artist.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Gavin shared her inspiration behind “What a Relief.” She explained that the song is about finding peace and comfort in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. “It’s about finding a sense of relief and release in the midst of all the noise and chaos of the world,” she said.
Gavin also expressed her gratitude for being able to debut her new song at the Japanese House concert. “It was such an incredible experience to share this song with such a supportive and enthusiastic audience,” she said. “I am so grateful to Japanese House for inviting me to be a part of their show.”
Fans can expect more new music from Gavin in the coming weeks leading up to the release of her solo album. She will also be embarking on a solo tour in support of the album, with dates to be announced soon.
In addition to her solo endeavors, Gavin will continue to work with Muna, who recently released their sophomore album, Saves the World. The band, which also includes members Josette Maskin and Naomi McPherson, has gained a dedicated following with their blend of synth-pop and socially conscious lyrics.
With her solo project, Gavin is excited to explore new sounds and themes, while still staying true to her artistic vision. “I am constantly evolving as an artist and I am excited to share this new chapter with my fans,” she said.
“What a Relief” is now available on all streaming platforms. Fans can also pre-order Gavin’s debut solo album, which promises to be a captivating and introspective journey through her personal experiences and emotions.
