Katija Honors the Singer’s Emotional Boundaries on New Indie-Pop Single

Auckland City, Auckland, New Zealand — Underground Pop music has had a strong pulse in New Zealand for decades. Trails marked by the infamous Lorde, Kimbra, and bands such as The Naked and Famous, have all shown an illuminated path for power vocalist, Katija to blaze. As she carries herself on her own unique artist journey, her new release, Won’t Waste My Time, is here to help unite and uplift those who have been heartbroken.

The funked-out, bass-driven track is complementary to Katija’s powerfully layered vocals, storyline, and unifying chorus/post-chorus. It’s a song you can’t help but catch yourself singing along to after the first listening.

Mid-pandemic, Katija found herself like many, isolated, but with an abundance of new ideas. Rather than stew in silence and stay miserable, she wrote her own songs with the intent to lock in her signature sound, and develop her forthcoming EP from a place of authenticity. Won’t Waste My Time came out of this personal renaissance.

“I wrote this during a time in my life when I started to really respect myself and get to know my own worth. Through writing this song, I really started to regain my own strength and power, and wanted to share this experience with others to help them through similar situations,” she says.

For listeners of Pop, Indie-Pop, Top 40, and all subgenres. And artists like Katy Perry, Lorde, Kimbra, Charlie XCX, and more.
