Not all ends are a loss, and Kat Dahlia makes that perfectly clear on her post-breakup flex, “Tu Tortura.” Taken off the artist’s upcoming full length, SeVeN, due October 30, the Cuban-American’s energy isn’t spent on sulking or diminishing her worth, rather asserting it as an asset that will forever be her ex’s torture.
“Tu Tortua” leads with a distorted, and yet still, bright electric guitar that ripples with better days ahead and complements Dahlia’s velvety rasp. The artist bluntly presents the situation with sarcastic undertones, layered laughs, and self-assured verses that melt onto the reggaeton, pop lacquered hook.
Steadily moving across the eclectic production between English and Spanish, the progressive R&B vibes take pages from the artist’s playbook and will have us all posting pictures for lingering eyes to see what they’re missing.
