Listen to Kat Capone's Swing-Inspired New Single "Pop"

NYC native and pop singer-songwriter Kat Capone has released her new single “Pop.” The jazzy, swing-inspired track is a sparkling pop gem encased in elements of 50’s doo wop. Inspired in equal parts by Fergie’s “London Bridge,” and the wholesome nursery rhyme elements of “Pop Goes the Weasel,” “Pop” employs clever lyrics that are both sensuous yet seemingly innocent. 

Kat Capone holds nothing back. The New York native pop singer/songwriter shows the same dynamic and candid personality whether on the stage or the screen. Drawing from her musical influences Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, Missy Elliot & Pink, her music is a combination of honest and direct songwriting mixed with fun, impactful pop music enjoyed by the masses. 

From age 5, Kat started playing the guitar and from there she learned the flute, drums and piano. She started dancing at age 2 with ballet, later adding tap and jazz to the mix. A film major and an art director at heart, Kat is heavily involved in the direction and vision of her music videos, bringing a film-like approach to each. She draws inspiration from some of her favorite movies and represents them in her visuals. In 2013, Kat released her debut EP Summer 22, which immediately caught the ears of media giant Viacom. Her song “Find Me In the Music” was chosen as the theme song for VH1’s reality show: “The Gossip Game” and soon after Kat struck a licensing deal with the company and placed most of her project on various shows and commercials for the network. 

Her latest EP Paper Cuts discusses heartbreak, insecurity and the struggles she faces as an independent artist. She is currently developing a workshop for teenagers to help build self-esteem as a part of her “Reflection Project” that she created after recording her song “Reversed.” Kat has also just self-published a book in 2016 called “The 21-Day Glamour Guide” where she shares some of her beauty and health secrets.

“Pop” is available now on Spotify and Apple Music
