When you lose someone close to you, it can often feel that you have lost a part of yourself. Ekaterine is here to help you work through the challenge of finding yourself again with ‘Changes’.

Since then, her 2016 single ‘Love Insane’ was picked up by BBC Introducing and she has collaborated with Sony Music Japan.



‘Changes’ gets your attention with some deep beats that swing into an engaging shuffle and guitar line. The guitar is all swaying tones while the beats roll you ever forward. The swinging of the guitar turns into a soaring flow when the chorus hits. This enhances the vocals while driving the messaging of the song home. There are a lot of dynamic movements to the melody that captures the challenges of finding yourself. As you move through the melodic arrangement, you work through the different emotions and moments that lead to you taking control of your own destiny.

This balloon is a mixture of empowerment, understanding of the situation you are in and the light at the end of the tunnel. There are a lot of complex emotions woven into her engaging performance that delicately weave around you.
