"‘In Crystalline, I let myself be seen — fragile, honest, and whole in my vulnerability." - Katerina Nicole

Truer and simpler words could not have been spoken by Katerina Nicole when describing her new song, "Crystalline". After her debut EP, Serene in Violent Oceans, it was only a matter of time until fans were graced with new music from Katerina. With a signature sound that is a blend of nu metal, doom, and industrial, after an evolution from pop and EDM, there seems to be nothing that Katerina is unable to accomplish. With listeners located in cities not only across one country or continent, but the world, it would be silly not to think that "Crystalline" will continue to build Katerina's career into the mainstream until she is on everyone's mind.

With an equally stunning music video that comes across almost like a short film, "Crystalline" seems to check the boxes of everything that makes a song great. From catchy riffs and lyrics, to haunting vocal diversity to carefully constructed scenes every step of the way, I find myself replaying the music video over and over. That beautiful blend of heavy and pop elements truly elevate the song to a whole new level.

If this release is any indication of the future of Katerina Nicole, than we need to get in now at the ground level. It is only a matter of time before Katerina is not only touring nationally and internationally, but selling out those very performances.
