January 27th, 2024 | Sierra Brown-Rodrigues
Striding out of Nashville with a guitar in one hand and her soul in the other, alternative pop/rock maven Kitty Coen unveils two spellbinding new singles: "Cadillac" and "El Paso." These tracks are not just songs; they're stories, set against the backdrop of the wild West and wrapped in the mystique of Western films.
Out now, "Cadillac" sweeps you into the climax of a Western drama—think smoky saloons and desert dust kicking up behind old Cadillacs—with Coen's sultry voice guiding you through a dance with danger and desire. "It's a metaphorical dance with the devil on a fate-filled night," Coen says of the track, inspired by the gritty charm of old spaghetti Westerns and the cinematic flair of Quentin Tarantino.
On the flip side, "El Paso" is a Southern Gothic confession wrapped in acoustic strings, revealing the raw sting of loving someone lost to addiction. Coen opens her heart, telling us, "It's a true tale of love and loss in my life, a path I've navigated with both pain and passion." These tunes carry the emotional weight of influences like Noah Cyrus and Kacey Musgraves, leading Coen to embrace her Bluegrass roots, which she's playfully battled against but now proudly claims.
Kitty Coen isn't just another name in the indie music scene—she's a force of nature, a whirlwind of alternative rock and 'witch rock' that casts a spell on listeners with each note. Her music is a potion of enchantment, a charm that lures you into a world you never knew you longed for.

The release of "everything's a mess" last October marked a turning point for Coen, a song that was both a mirror to her turmoil and a balm to her soul. "This song was my therapy," Coen confesses, as she turned her wounds into wisdom, her pain into poetry.
And let's not forget "unfollow me," a rebel yell of a music video that's all about flipping the bird to the haters. Channeling the rebellious spirit of '90s pop-punk icons, Coen declares, "It's about being true to you and ignoring the noise. In the end, self-love trumps all."
Hailing from the crossroads of Missouri and Texas, Coen's sound is a love letter to her roots, blending Southern charm with indie innovation. From her early days touring the U.S. to gracing stages at SXSW, Coen's journey is a testament to her tireless spirit and raw talent.
With her most transparent songwriting and confident sound yet, Kitty Coen isn't just walking into 2024—she's strutting, ready to expand her artistic horizons and champion the cause of female empowerment with every strum and lyric. So buckle up and join Kitty Coen on this ride—because with singles like "Cadillac" and "El Paso" now out, this is one journey you won't want to miss.
