Kate Klein Is Anything But STUCK

by | Jul 26, 2024

Kate Klein’s previous singles such as the electrifying $erontinin pls have catapulted her to a wave of tastemaker discovery, including airplay from Jack Saunders at Radio 1 plus support from BBC Introducing and MTV. Now the London-based Italian artist powers forward with her latest single STUCK.

STUCK finds Klein’s larger-than-life voice brimming with attitude, charisma and self-deprecating humour as she confesses to the chaos that surrounds her life. It’s an experience that many of us have been through: waking up on the bathroom floor with a banging headache, a list of regrets, and being too scared to see what messages were sent last night. But Klein isn’t one for self-pity and STUCK is ultimately an empowering statement – you know you need to make a change and you can make it happen. Its sound is the perfect complement for its theme, a whirlwind of spiky alt-pop edge laying the foundations for an explosive grunge-aesthetic hook that will instantly force its way into your memory.

Of the new single, Klein says: “STUCK is about deciding to run away from your problems, but your anxieties insist on following you.” It was solely written by Klein, who produced the track with Giovanni Bottoglia and Alessandro Fapanni. It was completed with mixing and mastering courtesy of Austin Seltzer (Royal & the Serpent, Maggie Lindemann, Demi Lovato).

Check out the video for STUCK below:

Kate Klein writes songs informed by messy misadventures and anxious insecurities, but also of unexpected triumphs and surprise joys – the kind of authentic but contrasting experiences that encourages us all to accept our inner misfit. Life’s rollercoaster experiences don’t come from the same box, and her music is influenced by similarly diverse sounds from Avril Lavigne and Debbie Harry to Post Malone and blink-182. It’s an attention-grabbing, everything-all-at-once rush that will make her upcoming EP, Love, War and Other Human Inventions an inspiringly existential experience.

Kate headed to Los Angeles after her early single releases to work with renowned collaborators such as Teddy Marquee (Dua Lipa, X Ambassadors), Stefano Moro (Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign) and Robert Cuttarella (Slash, Sting). It was an era that she found particularly inspiring, with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work with top tier producers but also the ordinary struggle that comes with being an aspiring artist. She then returned to Europe in the wake of the pandemic, dropping thumping bangers such as in my mind we’re all insane and Milano sei Tossica.

Garbage Celebrate Three Decades Of Defiance At London’s Roundhouse

Thirty years into a career built on challenging convention, Garbage arrive at London’s Roundhouse looking anything but content to trade on nostalgia. Despite three decades of touring the capital, tonight marks the band’s first appearance at the iconic Camden venue, and from the moment Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, Butch Vig and touring bassist Nicole Fiorentino step onto the stage, they perform with the urgency of a band still determined to push forwards rather than look back.

Full Circle At O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire: Lifehouse Return To London In Intimate Acoustic Triumph

There are gigs that simply entertain, and then there are gigs that transport you. Lifehouse’s long-overdue return to London at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire is very much the latter. Eleven years since their last visit to the capital, Jason Wade and longtime guitarist Steve Stout strip everything back for the second of two London acoustic shows—following the previous evening’s performance at nearby Bush Hall—and in doing so remind a packed Shepherd’s Bush Empire exactly why these songs have endured for a quarter of a century.

Now into it’s fourth year, the final weekend of this tour will see the metal giants play two completely different sets over Friday and Sunday night at London Stadium — an immense treat for the diehards, and introducing some deeper cuts for the casuals, providing something for everyone.

It was yet another warm, sunny London day, the start of the country’s next heatwave, as thousands descended on Hyde Park for the final day of the second BST Hyde Park weekend of 2026. There was another event looming over the evening too: England’s World Cup Round of 16 clash with Mexico, kicking off at the decidedly unsociable hour of 1am. Football could wait though. Sunday belonged to disco legends, glam-pop icons and one of Britain’s most enduring bands as Duran Duran headlined a day that effortlessly balanced nostalgia with timeless musicianship.
