The Austinite singer channels The Cardigans on this flirty, melancholy Walker Lukens-produced light rocker that dropped last Thursday.
Austin-based indie-alt artist Katherion has dropped another innovative single, “Mr. 9,” adding to the local music scene’s buzz. Released on December 12th, the track is available on all major streaming platforms. This marks Katherion’s second single from her highly anticipated debut album, EROS, following the debut single release of “Roses and Daisies” in September 2023.
“Mr. 9” offers a glimpse into the sonic world of EROS, which is slated for release in 2025. With its dreamy beat and lyrics that tackle the complexities of relationships, the song is both relatable and irresistibly catchy. It’s the kind of track that makes you want to dance, even if you try not to. While “Mr. 9” carries a different tone and message than its predecessor, “Roses and Daisies,” both singles complement each other, providing an intriguing preview of what’s to come on EROS. “Mr. 9” sets a solid foundation for the album, establishing a unique mood and setting high expectations for Katherion’s debut.
Produced by Walker Lukens with a clear influence from The Cardigans, “Mr. 9” explores relationship struggles in a fresh and engaging way. The combination of compelling storytelling, personal lyrics, and infectious production not only teases the sound of EROS but also leaves listeners eagerly anticipating what Katherion has in store next.
