Kat Dahlia sat down with HHS1987’s E. Money while in Philly to discuss her musical hiatus, her album My Garden, and more. The songstress was forced to take a break from making music due to a pseudocyst on her vocal cord. Kat explains how hard it was for her to not be able to give her fans new music, especially as a new artist.
She discusses her forthcoming album, My Garden, which is being released in January. The Miami-native says that she decided on the album name because the project is a “plethora of different sounds.” She explains that although it does have “ratchet” turn up moments, there are songs with a lot of emotion moments. Because she has a love of different sounds, she promises the album will have not only a hip-hop feel but a R&B and pop sound as well. She also opened up about her reserves to her single, “Crazy,” since it’s the one song on the album that she didn’t pen.
Kat is currently on the road for her first headlining tour, The My Garden tour. She explains that touring is an exciting challenge that gives her a chance to really vibe with her fans, especially since she knows that everyone is there to see her. The soulful singer speaks on the difference between American fans vs European fans.
Before the end of our interview, Kat gives advise to the young ladies who are trying to express their artistic side without changing themselves. She says that the most important thing is for people to love themselves, especially when many people seem to have a lack of sense of self.
My Garden will be in stores January 13 and is available for preorder here.
