There is something about Katana’s music that always strikes a nerve. She is fearless, powerful – using her voice to transport lyrics into music that resonates. Produced by Samuel Ivy, “Bad Timing” is a song about being in a relationship with someone who isn’t ready to be in one – as the artist describes in the Soundcloud description of the song.
The song begins with harmonizing vocals, bleeding into the lyrics “I hate this, so distant, because we both don’t feel the same, you said things and I meant it, guess that’s what I always stayed. But if you knew this was temporary, why couldn’t you say that.” It would take the whole written piece to write the lyrics in which Katana shows skill and soul, because every single line is delivered with sincerity.
“You got some shit you need to heal from, and I got a past to forget”. This relationship is not ready to happen, even if the people are ready for each other. Because a relationship makes you lose some of yourself and brings to the forefront the problems you have not dealt with alone. Katana wishes the relationship’s flaws are due to the wrong timing, and hopes that as time goes on, the relationship will change with it – in hopes of a “someday”. The chorus sings, “I can’t help but wonder, what it could have been…”
Katana is on her way to a level of stardom few know. Her style is unique and she is confident in herself, true to the music she makes all the way to her bones. “Bad Timing” is the beginning of all that is to come. Keep Katana on your radar.
