The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2022 - Issue 31

bitenewmusic Images courtesy of Satellite-414 ising pop star Leah Kate’s gutsy twist on the clas- sic English lullaby ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ follows the subsequent single ‘10 Things I Hate About You’, which surpassed 95 million streams. The new song’s video, directed by Aerin Moreno, Madison Beer, Sofi Tukker and Olivia O’Brien, takes place in Leah’s childhood bedroom, where she proclaims, ‘I can’t believe that I let you come inside my room. Yeah, you broke my heart in two,’ before diving into the anthemic chorus, ‘Twinkle, twinkle, little bitch. Just an- other narcissist. Hate your guts; you make me sick. I’m so f**king over it.’ The singer rose to fame after finding massive success on TikTok with her no-hold-back pop/rock anthems that cut to the bone and captured the attention of millions on social media and streaming platforms. After her support slot at Madison Beer’s Life Support Tour, she took to the stage at Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama, USA and then joined Chase Atlantic on their Cold Nights North America Summer Tour. From July to August 2022, Leah will be touring North America solo for the first time. Leah’s songs are intimate, relatable, and razor-sharp, pairing booming, radio-ready choruses with dizzying, hyper-specific de- tail. A snippet of ‘10 Things I Hate About You’ went viral, and the singer was inundated with requests for the whole song. Days later, it was out and zoomed past 20 million streams in the first month. Taking singing lessons since age 5, Leah hustled for a while, and when the pandemic hit, she went all in, penning the empowering ‘F**k Up The Friendship’. She partnered with tech giant Alexis Ohanian via the music in- vestment platform Indify, discovering her sound with ‘F U An- them’ and crushing rock riffs to sugar-rush choruses. www.leahkatemusic.com TwinkleTwinkle Little Bitch Leah Kate
