Korean American Singer-Songwriter KATIE Finds A Silver Lining in New Single “Unbreak”

Asian-American artist, KATIE, releases her new all-English single “Unbreak” via Sony Music Entertainment Korea. Don’t call her just a K-Pop star because the pop sensation is primed for global takeover with new music that makes her true to herself. Poised for global stardom at a young age after winning first place on K-Pop Star, the hit TV program in South Korea, the singer-songwriter is ready for her comeback. KATIE's unique sound and emotional vocals features an intimate performance and a luxurious soundscape in the future R&B genre.

The song conveys the message of healing someone's previous heartbreak with your own love. As the dictionary meaning of the word “unbreak” suggests, the overall musical message of “Unbreak” is “strength.” Lyrics like “Can I just unbreak your heart. I’ll pick up the pieces,” gives listeners a feeling of longing for a broken-up lover in a realistic and mature way. Despite being filled with inner anxiety and wounds, she already knows how to overcome them. The song itself showcases a fast tempo to express the concept using KATIE’s unique sense of rhythm. Her message, urging us to look at our true selves with confidence and courage, allows listeners to emphasize their personal stories through the power of music.

KATIE’s debut single “Remember” was a bonafide hit upon release. The song was so popular that KATIE re-released it featuring American hip-hop artist Ty Dolla $ign. Her follow-up hit single, “Our Time” was recognized by Apple Music as “100 Best Song of 2020.” The South Korean-American songstress grew up in New Jersey, attended Berklee College of Music, and has been interviewed by mainstream media such as The Hollywood Reporter, GENIUS, Forbes, NYLON, Billboard, Hypebae, and more.
