Dancing with Desire: Catherine Elms Unleashes "Brutal Heart"

Burning deep within her veins and with a voice that shakes the very earth beneath her feet, Catherine Elms escapes the muted ashes of “Medusa’s” curse. An all new Catherine Elms unleashes her record "Brutal Heart", which is anything but soft. It’s a tribute to love’s violent tempest—a passion-hemorrhaging heart torn between curse and salvation, love and repulsion all at once. A chaotic blend of guitar and drum violence disguise Catherine's raw center-singing. Where passion cuts and beauty bleeds. The song pulses with the acknowledgment that desire is anything but uncomplicated.

Catherine isn’t whispering secrets, she’s screaming them into the void. "Brutal Heart" is the scarred confession of a heart that has seen trauma, a moments required warning for all those who chase fire un fathomably super heated. Her voice transforms into a rebellious siren's song destined to lead us through lost roads of lust such that every heartbeat is a question of survival with the next kiss feeling like a knife right at the edge which risks turning everything upside down.The scornful make the strongest brave. But in this case, Catherine welcomes those who mourn a scorching lover’s touch with wide arms inviting shameful desire. Their absence constitutes “weakness” of her existence.

The VHS cover of her music can be found pasted across the torn pages of gut-wrenching Jungian philosophy endlessly pu rposefully soul searching dark shadow work, and it becomes evident that this music doesn’t evoke an escape, instead it invites you to sway with your alter ego under a crescent moon. Catherine's gift is not only in sound but in ritual—in mirroring the haunted shards we keep concealed. Brutal Heart is a calling, a settling of accounts, a ceasefire with the parts of us which love intensely and cruelly, seethe truthfully, and mend through ruin.

With summer arriving and her debut full-length album on the way, Catherine Elms doesn't seem to be a pop star on the prowl for singles, but rather a poet of the deepest darkest places of the soul. Her music is cinematic, passionate, and bold—meant for the ones who don't just feel with their heart, but live in bo ne marrow of feelings. In "Brutal Heart" she gives no answers, but wisdom. And sometimes that's all a fire-breathing heart requires.
