Serving as her debut single, KATMORE's "Dancing In The Dark" has been a long-awaited release since it started gaining traction on Reddit and social media. The track can thank its feature in the Netflix series Baby Fever for becoming an internet sensation, leading to 5,000+ Shazams of the demo alone. Shedding light on the inspiration behind the song, KATMORE shares, "Dancing In The Dark is my anthem for getting through dark times. It was the first song that truly defined the KATMORE project for me. I wrote the lyrics during a deeply personal moment, when I felt lost and exhausted, desperately searching for something to hold on to. Now with everything that’s going on the world - where war and chaos feel ever-present, the song has taken on a new meaning for me - it’s a reminder not to give in to despair, but to hold on to what’s good and keep moving forward. One beat at a time."
Sounding like an artist reborn, KATMORE breaks free from her work with indie sensation Off Bloom and steps into the limelight as a solo artist with an epic vision in "Dancing In The Dark." Listeners can easily get lost in the track's immersive soundscape as rich instrumentals and powerful melodies wash over our ears. KATMORE proves herself again and again to be a powerhouse vocalist, giving a highly noteworthy and moving performance that can be compared to the likes of Mitski, Lorde, and Sia. Between the song's lush composition and KATMORE's sonorous vocals, "Dancing In The Dark" is certainly a track listeners can happily lose themselves in, escaping the horrors of the world for a little while.
Formerly the lead singer of Off Bloom, Mette Kathrine Mortensen is moving in new directions with her solo project, KATMORE. As a part of her former band and as a songwriter, KATMORE has amassed over 60 million streams, headlined sold-out shows across Europe, the US, and Scandinavia, and supported acts like Dua Lipa and The 1975. She has worked with some industry heavy hitters, like Max Martin and Hudson Mohawke, and is a European Border Breakers Award winner. KATMORE is now directing that high-achieving energy at her new solo endeavor, prepping for her upcoming 2025 album.
