[ARTISTRACK PREMIERE] Kate Magdalena is back with another great single, ‘This Is My Rebel Song’
January 2021 – Kate Magdalena is a truly one-of-a-kind songwriter. She is a rare talent in the way that she doesn’t really follow trends. Rather, she loves to make music that means so much to her on a personal level. She often sings songs that come directly from her personal experiences and heartfelt feelings, and as a result, the authenticity of the material is undeniably endearing. Such is the case of Kate’s most recent single, “This Is My Rebel Song.”
This track is an intimate acoustic affair, with other instruments coming in to add some melodic flourishes. In particular, the strings section offers a nice sonic backdrop in the chorus, while the sparse harp notes add more of a dreamy atmosphere to this stunning release. This song is folk at its very best, but it also sports a nice modern sound, reminiscent of artists such as Gillian Welsh, Ani DiFranco, or even heavy hitters such as UK pop singer Adele, among others.
