Nashville-based sing-songwriter Kate Yeager is making waves with the release of her highly anticipated sophomore EP, Before The Lights Go Out. Today, Yeager drops the EP's standout single, "One Last Look," accompanied by a compelling music video, further establishing her as a bold and introspective artist.
Before The Lights Go Out showcases Yeager's evolution as an artist, blending raw emotion with captivating melodies. The EP features a total of six tracks, including the viral sensation "Fat," which has amassed over 30 million views across social media platforms. This body-positivity anthem, along with the introspective single "Edit," sets the tone for the EP, which delves into themes of self-acceptances vulnerability, and personal growth.
In describing "One Last Look," Yeager reflects on the song's personal significance: “When we move, we pack up everything into boxes and label them neatly and head to the next place. I realized that we can't change what's in the boxes, the space might change, the location might change, but the contents of the boxes won't. Just like the nooks and crannies of my brain. I can't change them, but I can learn how to use them better. Each song on this project is a box I've packed. Ones I've labeled, ones I've learned, and the ones I am carrying with me. So let's take one last look before the lights go out.”
Before The Lights Go Out is out now via ONErpm and offers a deep dive into Yeager's personal experiences and artistic evolution. Collaborating with Grammy-nominated producer Jared Anderson, Yeager crafts a sound that combines upbeat indie pop with raw, unfiltered lyrics.
The EP includes:
“Fat” – A powerful anthem celebrating body positivity.
“Clothes Off” – An energetic track about shedding layers, both literal and metaphorical.
“Edit” – A song of self-acceptance and embracing one's flaws.
“Meteors” – A reflective piece on navigating life’s chaos.
“Landing In Love” – A tender exploration of romantic vulnerability.
“One Last Look” – The poignant closer, offering a moment of introspection.
In addition to prominence has been marked by her authentic and emotionally charged music. Described by PAPER as being in her "vulnerable era," Yeager's work resonates with listeners due to its honest and raw portrayal of personal experiences. Q Magazine praises her as a "wise beyond her years" artist, while The Honey Pop notes her ability to deliver "authenticity and raw emotion" in a world craving genuine connection.
Yeager's music has captured the attention of both fans and celebrities, with notable endorsements from Julianne Moore, Carnie Wilson, Kristen Chenoweth, Jane Wiedlin (of the Go-Go's), and Sara Bareilles. Her unique blend of indie pop sensibility, powerful vocals, and introspective lyrics draws comparisons to artists like MUNA, Kelly Clarkson, and Julia Michaels.
