Daniella White, better known as YellaCatt, is a budding indie artist whose musical aptitude was evident from an early age when she began drumming to her unique beat. What followed has been a journey that has resulted in an enchanting blend of electronic sound that is uniquely her own, characterized by its honesty derived from her personal experience and honeyed with mystical elements. Her music is thoughtfully composed with layers of intricate details, making it both energizing and calming at the same time. Her latest single, “The Show,” reflects her current journey and tells the story of strength through adversity.
YellaCatt’s musical journey reflects her passion for iconic rock bands like The Doors and Led Zeppelin. Growing up in Seattle, the budding artist quickly found herself as a lead singer in various indie rock bands but lacked the confidence to push past her comfort zone. “I was heavy into rock,” she admits. “I still plan on doing a rock song one day, where I just really belt it out.” Yet, YellaCatt isn’t restricted to just one genre – she also draws inspiration from blues, electronica, and other genres, which have inspired an expansive soundscape in her music. Over time, YellaCatt has gained confidence in her artistry by pushing into experimental territory while maintaining her signature style: a blend of nostalgia-tinged rock with newer electronic elements.
YellaCatt recently released her song called “The Show.” It is a mesmerizing auditory and visual experience crafted with the help of producer Jonny Joon (Jonathan Hakakian). The track stands out for its clever lyricism and powerful symbolism that serves as an effective storytelling device. Furthermore, the accompanying music video – directed by Sequoia Emmanuelle – has been applauded for its visually striking imagery and creative use of colors and light to convey a sense of ethereal intensity. Together, YellaCatt and Jonny Joon have crafted something special with “The Show” – a piece that bridges art’s auditory and visual elements into one cohesive package.
“The Show” is a powerful testament to the strength and resilience that follows a breakup. This empowerment anthem urges listeners to focus on their growth rather than pain, expressing this through passionate lyrics such as “if you want me, then
you’d better show up.” The chorus conveys a sense of sensuality and playfulness while highlighting YellaCatt’s self-assuredness; she has been through it all but has decided to let go and reclaim her freedom, emerging as a queen. The message is clear – no matter what life throws at us, we can rise above it with courage, confidence, and grace.
After the success of “The Show,” YellaCatt will release another song called “Venus In Scorpio,” which will go live on February 6th. “Venus in Scorpio” explores the depths of passion, sensuality, and mystery. This soulful track radiates a gravitational pull toward its captivating soundscape, reflecting the nuances of an astrological placement possessing both potency and complexity. With Venus in Scorpio, this brings many lessons to learn in love as it can be filled with trials and tribulations while still offering rewarding results. In terms of relationships, this manifests in deep connections that run far beyond surface levels. It is also about a woman’s ability to yield vulnerability and openness with her partner, seeking meaningful knowledge and understanding from them. As we travel through this hazy, mesmerizing landscape, we can’t help but be drawn into the lyrical content of Venus in Scorpio and its ‘magnetic power.’ “The Show” is available for streaming on all major music platforms, and “Venus In Scorpio” will be available on February 6th.
