Following the seductive embrace of her latest single “Medusa,” Catherine Elms announces a fierce new track that further illuminates the sultry, haunting landscape of her forthcoming album, set to captivate audiences this summer.
“Brutal Heart” is a raw, pulsing confession, a love letter to our most destructive desires. Heavy guitars and thunderous drums create a dramatic backdrop for Elms’ soaring vocals as she navigates the treacherous terrain of a heart unbound by caution. The track serves both as an intimate confessional and a universal anthem for anyone who has felt the surreal pain of wanting what might destroy them.
“This song is about the painful realisation that our heart’s desires can be both beautiful and destructive,” Catherine reveals with characteristic vulnerability. “It’s a reflection on making peace with those contradictions and the mistakes they lead to, embracing them as part of who we are.”
Drawing from a rich well of Jungian psychology and shadow work, “Brutal Heart” invites listeners to dance with their demons rather than flee from them. The single spotlights Elms’ forthcoming album’s provocative concept: confronting and embracing our darkness is the only path to becoming whole. Like a lover who sees all of you, light and shadow, and chooses to stay, Elms’ music offers acceptance without judgment.
Brutal Heart is available now on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify and iTunes, and for download from Bandcamp.
