Introducing an indie pop phenomenon from Cincinnati that’s capturing hearts and shaking playlists with every beat
Within the vibrant indie pop scene, few artists manage to craft a sound so intoxicatingly original and universally appealing as Catlea. Based out of Cincinnati in the United States, Catlea is redefining the indie pop landscape with their latest single ‘Bones’, a masterful intertwining of soul-infused melodies and rhythmic danceability. The song, slated as the lead single for their 4-track EP also titled ‘Bones’, marks yet another milestone in their upward trajectory. From the very first note, listeners will find themselves drawn into an exhilarating mix of alternative pop, with touches of soul and R&B seamlessly woven into the fabric of this rock-pop anthem.
Following the enormous success of previous singles such as ‘Like Me’, ‘Lying’, and ‘Crumbling’, which have collectively gathered over two million streams, Catlea proves their prowess as a singer-songwriter band that effortlessly traverses the boundaries of pop representation. This eclectic group, much like indie pop favourites Florence + The Machine and Haim, continuously defies genre conventions, delivering fresh and compelling narratives that resonate with a diverse audience.
“Catlea’s distinct ability to blend heartfelt lyricism with infectious melodies sets them apart in the contemporary pop scene,” remarks our team at PopHits.Co, who are ardent admirers of their work.

The single ‘Bones’, set to debut at the end of October, is imbued with an eclectic range of influences and stands out as a universally relatable anthem about the complexities of breakups. The track delves into the contradictory emotions surrounding these experiences, articulating the sense of being caught between lingering feelings and the frustration of moving on. It’s in this honest exploration where Catlea’s mastery in storytelling through music truly shines, channelling their emotions into a song that is both confessional and cathartic.
Listeners will appreciate the confessional purity of Catlea’s songwriting. Through the transparent and authentic narrative of ‘Bones’, Catlea provides solace and relatability, giving their audience a therapeutic outlet. The song’s infectious beat and soulful undertones invite listeners to contemplate their own experiences while getting lost in a groove that simply demands movement. Catlea’s honeyed vocals and layered instrumentation create a lush auditory landscape that is both nostalgic and forward-looking.
Interestingly, ‘Bones’ wasn’t originally intended for the upcoming album ‘Language Barrier’, releasing in January 2025. The track only made the cut after producer Jason Boshoff and guitarist Oscar Garcia-Bragado urged Catlea to reconsider during a session in Barcelona’s Room To Studio. The result is a track that now stands as a highlight of the album, encapsulating the essence of what makes Catlea a compelling force in the indie pop arena.
