With only a handful of releases to her name, (‘Pretty Delusions’ representing the second), Kate Morgan’s possibly amongst electronic music’s most prolific collaborators, having written, co-written and provided vocal aspects for some of its biggest names. Amongst them are The Chainsmokers, blackbear, Cher Lloyd, ILLENIUM, ZHU, DVBBS, Lena, and Gryffin, while she’s also scored a Dance Radio #1, with her co-write of Anabel Englund’s ‘Midnight Rapture’.
RIDE boss Myon sees her as an artist in her own right and having fallen for ‘Pretty Delusions’ within days of its spring release, he offered to lend it a remix-hand.
Never losing sight of the track’s folk-flecked, guitar-tinged hometown reflections, Myon’s remix is charged by a skipping breakbeat flow, undulant bass and melodies, and sonically patches a degree of the original’s days-gone-by lament with some future feels.
Kate Morgan: “As an artist my journey started playing local open mics and busking, and for a long time I wanted to run from that place. I suppose that represents some of my own “pretty delusions”. I always thought ‘happy’ would be another place, or level of success. As I’ve gotten older though, no matter where I go or what I do, part of me still feels like that teenager, desperate to know more of myself and the world. Stepping back into releasing my own music I wanted to touch base with that girl, and I sure am proud of this pretty place I call home.”
