After a string of original singles and an EP earlier in the year, australian singer and songwriter Caitty makes a comeback with new single “Ruined”. On her most emotionally charged release yet the artist creates an atmosphere of vastness, guided by subtle pianos and haunting dark pop percussion that expands her sound with unique dynamics.
Inspired by both a real-life break-up as well as fictional characters, this new single is a cry of heart-crushing intensity and dramatic yet gentle melodies. The artist’s vocal performance manages to sell that tension with layers upon layers of vulnerability that is breathtaking in its delivery and beauty. On “Ruined”, the Margaret River-based singer finds herself perfectly capturing the feelings of betrayal and frustration that come along with placing your trust in what turned out to be the wrong person.
It’s an intimate and delicate track that unravels with the kind of cinematics found in the best Halsey songs, one of the artist’s main influences. The lyricism on “Ruined” is a fascinating blend of reality and fiction that culminates into an entire world of her own doing, merging a haunting vocal performance with soft melodies and universe-building Swiftian touches. Drenched in susceptibility and heartache, the song offers an intriguing new path for the singer who has never sounded so wounded and raw before.
“I’ve always been drawn to those complicated characters who blur the lines between love and destruction. ‘Ruined’ is a reflection of that— themes of manipulation, obsession, and power disguised as affection”, she explains about the inspirations behind the track. Her immersive storytelling is at its peak on “Ruined”, expanding the artist’s soundscape even further into the personal realm with self-awareness and depth, diving deep down and allowing herself to feel its grief completely.
On her latest single Caitty deals with heartbreak through introspective self-reflection and without any distractions – crafting a unique and comforting track that is as cathartic as it is necessary. You can’t find the light unless you let yourself know the shadows, and “Ruined” is the moment in which Caitty is the most familiar with it – and by its ending, she’s ready to seek the brightness again.
