Katrina Gupalo is one of the most critically acclaimed musicians in Latvia. A singer, pianist, composer, director and actress, this multi-faceted artist and graduate of London’s Royal Academy of Music has a long list of international credits.
Her talents come to the fore in Intoxicating Caramel - a song as sensual as the title’s burn’t alliteration. Rich, jazzy with a hint of the theatrical, the song weaves a story of whirlwind romances and comets falling from the sky. And it does so as smoothly as a lover’s sweet nothings, softly whispered in one’s ear.
Visually rich metaphors, an unusual vocabulary (for a pop song) paired with offbeat syntax & enunciation add an extra layer to the song’s jazz-theatre hybrid sound, making it the perfect accompaniment to a glass of a rich Bordeaux. Colour me smitten.
