‘The Poets Might Disagree’ serves as Katie C’s debut EP which immerses listeners in a familiar storybook filled with auditory and emotional depth. The EP title references Little Women which frames the album as a set of thoughtful and emotionally deep songs. The four tracks of this EP weave a tapestry of life experiences which are bathed in nostalgic lighting and enhance daydreams with romantic touches. Throughout the EP, Katie’s voice maintains a tender and genuine quality while beautifully layered guitars and dreamy lo-fi warmth create an intimate listening experience.
“Daisy Street” starts the EP with its enchanting portrayal of tranquility and allure. The track feels like an early morning calm on a red-brick street where all elements are perfectly arranged. The gentle movement of guitars around Katie’s voice produces a serene atmosphere that remains engaging. The record reaches its peak psychedelic moment with the track “Only You”. The washy reverb and multi-layered kaleidoscope effects create an experience reminiscent of wandering through a misty, summertime afternoon from a past era. The music evokes a late-sixties vibe while Katie’s gentle vocal approach maintains both groundedness and authenticity.
The song “Moving” shifts its tempo through a mesmerizing guitar loop that gradually draws listeners into its rhythm. The EP ends with “Dear Harry” which conveys youthful simplicity through its music. The song written together on a damaged piano conveys both the charm of a beachside date and the unforgettable essence of a heartfelt love letter. Katie C creates genuine emotion with her singing throughout this EP rather than trying to grab listeners’ attention.
