Katie Gavin - What a relief (2024)
Katie Gavin, known as the lead vocalist of MUNA, ventures into a more introspective and folk-inspired sound on her solo debut, What a Relief. The album departs from MUNA's dance-pop aesthetic, embracing acoustic arrangements and personal storytelling. Tracks like "I Want It All" and "Casual Drug Use" showcase Gavin's lyrical depth, exploring themes of love, family, and self-discovery. Critics note the album's '90s alt-pop influences, drawing comparisons to artists such as Alanis Morissette and Tracy Chapman. While some listeners may find the subdued production less dynamic than MUNA's work, What a Relief offers a nuanced and intimate portrait of Gavin's artistry, highlighting her versatility as a songwriter and performer.
