Don’t always fall for the fairytale resume.
Your next favorite pop star could very well be Kat Velasco. Originally from South Carolina and now making waves in Nashville, Tennessee, Kat is a multi-talented artist with a strong background in musical theatre and an ever-growing presence on streaming platforms.
What makes Kat stand out is her powerful voice, her ability to craft catchy, well-written tracks, and her unique blend of commercial and traditional country music. If you’re looking to fall in love with her music, start with popular singles like “Got Away,” “Check,” and “Burning Man.” Her latest single, “Paper Boy,” lives up to those high standards.
What immediately grabs your attention in “Paper Boy” is the sharp, insightful writing. Kat thoughtfully reflects on her past relationships, exploring how the desire for fairytale love can sometimes blind us to our worth and overlook red flags. Beyond the relatable, introspective lyrics, the song features passionate, twangy vocals, a mix of Southern charm and pop, and what I believe to be irresistibly catchy melodies and an unforgettable chorus. The track is the result of a great collaboration between Kat, producer Andy Sheridan, and co-writers Melissa Sheridan and Anna Vaus.
