Miami/NYC-based musician, Producer and multimedia artist Stranger Cat has shared the synth-laden single “Hollow Heartbreak,” a song that finds hope in heartbreak.

The artist’s self-produced sophomore album Slow Jam Love Letters To My Body In Pieces is due out November 15, 2024 on North Street Records. Later this month, Stranger Cat will perform live in NYC and Brooklyn on October 26 and 27 with Laura Burhenn of The Mynabirds.

“Hollow Heartbreak” emerged in the aftermath of a breakup as Stranger Cat learned to move through the heartache.

She says:

I wrote this song to deal with the breakup with someone who was deeply close to me. I processed my pain through recording and producing the track: I wanted the opening to sound like the angels weeping. By the end of building the track I’d reached a total 180, through creating an 808s and synths dance party, letting it all go.

The resonant forthcoming album was Produced from bed while recovering from a serious accident.

Stranger Cat shares:

These songs were written during a three year period when I was forced to sort of drop out of life and recover, first dealing with difficult dance injury which required 1.5 years of rehab, followed by a serious accident which left me healing in a wheelchair for five months with both legs casted.

Stranger Cat is Brooklyn-born, Miami-based vocalist, Producer, composer, light artist, video maker, DJ, dancer, and sound healer Cat Martino. She has collaborated with the likes of Sufjan Stevens, Sharon Van Etten, Son Lux, Lucius, and The Shins and as well as supporting Empress Of, Marissa Nadler, and performing at iii Points Festival and Art Basel in Miami.
