CHIRP Radio Posdcast contributer Josset Yarbrough recently sat down with Kathy Patino, who creates music as Girl K, to discuss her latest release My Future. You can listen to their full conversation here.
Josset Yarbrough: I'm here with Kathy Patino, the mastermind behind Girl K. Her most recent release, My Future, is a pop album that tugs at your heartstrings with its vulnerable lyrics, and has music that makes you want to dance and scream in the best possible way. So without further ado, welcome Kathy. How are you?
Kathy Patino: I'm good. Thank you for having me.
JY: So you describe My Future as the black swan of your releases. This album has a stronger pop focus compared to your previous releases, which has more of an indie rock feel. So what led you to that sonic transition and what have you been able to express more now that you've expanded your musical horizons?
KP: Yeah, I definitely had been listening to a lot more pop music in my life. For the longest time I was very anti-pop. I don't know where that drift happened, because I was raised on Disney Channel people like Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato. Then indie rock took over my life and now it's back to being way more pop; I really only listen to Sabrina Carpenter and Ariana Grande right now. I really like playing around with synths and Logic to write my demos and, and I feel like this has allowed me to explore more of what I could create musically because there's only so much I felt I could do playing guitar and staying in that indie rock vein.
