Nashville-based Western pop artist Kat Velasco shares her brand new single Breaking My Own Heart, a hauntingly relatable anthem that explores the quiet dread of waiting for happiness to slip away.
Co-written by Claire Douglas, Hannah Ellis, and Jason Massey, Breaking My Own Heart delves into the all-too-familiar experience of self-sabotage, of carrying past baggage into new beginnings, and anticipating the fall before it happens. A relatable song layered with emotional weight and vulnerability, effortlessly capturing the inner turmoil of bracing for disappointment, even when things seem perfect. This message is flawlessly conveyed through Velasco’s stunning, powerhouse vocals which radiate raw emotion and passion from start to finish, soaring effortlessly over the captivating production. Accompanying her rich, emotive vocals, we have wistful, melancholic guitars nicely intertwined with steady drum patterns and rhythms that create the perfect atmosphere for an introspective day home alone with one’s thoughts. Breaking My Own Heart is a bold step into darker territory for Kat Velasco, offering a raw yet comforting reminder that nobody is truly alone in their struggle.
Speaking about the song, Kat Velasco said,
Many of us can be our own worst enemy, existing somewhere in between hope and heartbreak.
