Inside the making of ‘Prized Possession’, CATTY fuses drums, guitars and synths with a fearless vow for equal love.
CATTY’s creative world roars to life on ‘Prized Possession’, a single that sounds like theatre under lightning. The Welsh glam pop artist leans into her singular voice with a song that treats romance as a promise and a challenge, a feverish, all in plea delivered beneath a gorgeous gothic shimmer. It is a performance that feels both cinematic and intimate, like a confession sung from a cathedral.
The arrangement is meticulously stacked. Drums pound with intention, guitars crackle with crunch and heat, synths warp into thrilling shapes, and layered vocals turn the chorus into a chorus of shadows and light. Over that panorama, CATTY sharpens the story into a vow, “Give me your jealousy, Kiss, kill and come for me, Do it for the thrill…, But I don’t want a temporary love or a lie, I want someone by my side until I die.” The sentiment is full throttle and beautifully clear, a demand for reciprocity that still feels tender.
Her own words place the feeling in context with warmth and wit. “I think it’s fair to say I have a flair for the dramatic because ‘Prized Possession’ is basically me saying if you’re in love with me, kill the rest (metaphorically, of course.) I love with every fibre of my being, oftentimes to my detriment but ‘Prized Possession’ is definitely me saying please love me with everything you have in return.”
The song took shape in a concentrated burst, a week of white wine fueled sessions with collaborators Nathan and Juliette. That sprint captured heartbreak and obsession through a baroque lens, as if a gothic fairytale had been rewritten in neon. There is a lineage in the music, the feel of Welsh mythology in its bones, and the echo of crushes that make you braver. In the end, ‘Prized Possession’ reads as a queer torch song with claws, a declaration made with kindness and fire. It is a beautiful place to meet CATTY, at full voice, fully herself, and fully ready to be met with the same energy.
