Hawaiian artist Katie Iannitello’s Beauty Queen project featured on the recent Super Fan 99 Records compilation and ‘Sold You Out’ is the perfect introduction to her sunshine-infused and evocative sound. The song will feature on the physical (frosted white cassette) release of her EP – pre-order now.
Hazy Stars-style synths meet the atmospheric stylings of Beach House as Katie’s vocals sway along as she questions herself: ‘I’ve got to get out of this, it makes me so tired’ and repeats of ‘I sold you out’ summing up tinges of regret. As the song moves along, there is a more West Coast sound (Katie is now based in LA) that brings back memories of the chillwave scene.
