Katy Pinke unveils her musical prowess with the debut single ‘Bloom’ from her upcoming album, Tomato. Recorded in a single day in the heart of Brooklyn, the track emanates the raw authenticity that is set to define Pinke’s unique presence in the indie music scene. Drawing inspiration from her background as an actor, Pinke skillfully constructs immersive worlds within each song, intertwining herself with the music like an actor with her characters.

‘Bloom’ takes listeners on an intimate journey, guided by finger-picked acoustic guitar and subtle brush drums. This minimalistic approach serves as the ideal backdrop for Katy’s delicate and unfiltered vocals, reminiscent of the disarming delivery of legends like Blossom Dearie. The song’s compositional brilliance echoes influences from the likes of Bill Callahan and Syd Barrett, yet Katy Pinke infuses it with her own distinctive style.

What sets ‘Bloom’ apart is its single-day recording process without overdubs, a rarity in today’s music landscape. This choice adds an additional layer of authenticity to the already genuine sound, showcasing Pinke’s commitment to preserving the purity of her musical expression. As the debut single from Tomato, ‘Bloom’ not only acts as a musical gem but also as a poignant reminder to open up, expand, and dare to bloom like a flower, encapsulating Pinke’s creative spirit. With this release, Katy cements her rising star status in the indie music realm, promising a debut album that is bound to make waves in the Brooklyn music scene and beyond.

“‘Bloom’, the first single off the album, acts as a kind of reminder to open, to expand, to dare to bloom like a flower. I wrote the song in one sitting, melody and lyrics together.”
