Dive into the emotional depths of conflicting love and longing with the new single, ‘Catch-22’ by TheLastLetter. This soulful track crooned subtly over a layered beat by Zimbabwean producer and artist, YouAre, explores the turmoil of a love triangle, where obsession and guilt intertwine.
The song title and cover art are based on the book of the same name, exploring the ‘Catch-22’ theory described as “A dilemma or difficult circumstance from which there is no escape because of mutually conflicting or dependent conditions” in Z’s case the only way she can be with the person she sings about is if they remain with the person they are currently seeing, essentially having them both.
With lines like, “I’m obsessed with your new girl, I wish you never met her,” “I’ve been hoping I’ve praying, maybe I should just be patient” TheLastLetter captures the heartache of wanting someone who is not interested in having her as a first option but also refuses to let her go, – based on a true story, Z found it best to write about it in song in order to process it and let go, in hopes that once again she can provide a relatable outlet to her listeners, a very important theme in her music as echoed in her songs on her earlier released debut EP, The Pink Room.
