Get lost in the glitchy sounds and deep emotions in katie MAC’s brand new track ‘you’re here but you’re not’, released today, April 16, 2025!
‘you’re here but you’re not’ is a distorted synthy soundscape with some hyperpop elements that’s loaded with emotion. This track captures the energy of a pop idol dance track, but it tones back the tempo and focuses on the emotion in the vocals and lyrics. The vocals have electronic filtering, however, the emotion shines through a mesh of soft and belted vocals. There’s a synth riff looped that keeps the pacing cohesive, and the buzz and vibe of the bass is infectious. Lyrically, this track captures what it’s like to be in a relationship with a person who is distant. It captures a relationship with a partner who doesn’t see hurt and seems to ignore when spoken to. It’s exhausting to deal with, and this track hits this note like a relatable nail on the head.
