凱特伯恩斯：“我從來沒有為酷兒女孩創作過音樂”

Cat Burns is a talented singer who has recently released a new single titled 'Girls! '. In this song, she expresses her thoughts and feelings about girls and her experiences as a queer woman. Cat has made it clear that she wants to talk about girls, saying, 'I just wanna talk about girls. ' This new track represents a change from her previous, more serious music, and it reflects her growing confidence in celebrating her sexuality. At just 24 years old, Cat has experienced a remarkable rise in her music career over the past few years. Her single 'Go', which was first released in 2020, became a viral sensation on TikTok in 2023, climbing to number 2 on the music charts. This success led to her nomination for the prestigious Brits Critics' Choice award later that same year. Cat emphasizes the importance of having songs that resonate with people, especially during the formative years when individuals are discovering their identities. She states, 'It's nice to know that people like you exist and exist freely. ' Cat believes that the fun and upbeat nature of her song can help others, including those who may not identify as queer, understand that queer individuals are just normal people who happen to love the same sex. In the past year, the music charts have seen a surge of queer women openly writing about their relationships with other women. For instance, Chappell Roan's song 'Good Luck, Babe! ' tells the story of falling in love with a woman who is struggling to accept her own sexuality, and it spent an impressive 16 weeks in the UK top 10. Additionally, Billie Eilish released her album 'Hit Me Hard and Soft', which includes the single 'Lunch', exploring her attraction to women. Cat acknowledges that there have been few mainstream pop songs celebrating authentic lesbian relationships in the past. She points to Katy Perry's 2008 hit 'I Kissed A Girl' as an example, noting that while it is a catchy pop song, it only scratches the surface of exploring sexuality. Cat believes it is essential to create space for lesbian and queer artists to share their experiences as they delve deeper into their journeys. She states, 'I think it's always good when we make room and allow space for lesbian and queer artists to speak about it whilst we're further into our journey. ' Cat emphasizes that the more diverse voices we hear, the better it is for the community. She explains, 'The more representation and more space for different types of queer artists, it can just help paint a more vivid picture of what the community's actually like. ' Cat wants to showcase the variety within the queer community, stating, 'What you know of something might not always be true. ' She believes that she falls into many different groups and wants to celebrate those differences. Cat is excited about the growing number of artists who are comfortable writing about their sexuality. She credits social media for allowing more queer artists to express themselves openly and safely. Cat expresses her gratitude for the icons who have paved the way for her and others, saying, 'I'm really happy that I was able to make a song like Girls! , for it to be received the way it has been and for me to be so able to be open about what it's about. ' With more artists proudly celebrating the LGBTQ+ community, Cat believes that fans now have the opportunity to show their support loudly. She remarks, 'The LGBTQ+ community, we're a very hard fan base. We love our favorite artists down and will do forever. ' Cat is thrilled that in recent years, queer artists are finally being championed and loved by their own community.
