Kat Madleine’s latest single is an essential love song that proves that the timeless pop formula of strong vocals on top of a strong beat, an emotional chord structure, and a heartfelt piano part, has stood the test of time for a very good reason.
A German musician and musicologist, Kat Madleine returns with ‘I’ll Be Right There’, a heartwarming pop anthem about loyalty to oneself and with a strong live feel and a nostalgic sound that is deeply rooted in the 90s romantic pop balladry spearheaded by icons such as Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, and Bryan Adams.
‘I’ll Be Right There’ is led by Madleine’s live-captured and capable vocals, artfully laid on top of the gorgeous piano ballad backing and slow, deliberate beat. Altogether, the song aims to feature that same immense presence as witnessed on legendary songs such as Celine Dion’s ‘My Heart Will Go On’, Whitney Houston’s ‘I Will Always Love You’, and Toni Braxton’s ‘Unbreak My Heart’. Kat Madleine’s lyrics are less directly about conventional love, and more about staying true to oneself, adding an interesting angle to the tried and true formula, for an extra layer of character and color.
‘I’ll Be Right There’ is an interesting and beautiful ballad that aims to bridge the gap between timeless classics from the 90s and modern production sounds and eclectic lyrical ideas. Kat Madleine’s sound and character are totally unique.
