Cat Burns released her first EP, Emotionally Unavailable, on May 20th, 2022, which I describe as an EP that talks about all the feelings, I go through but rarely talk about with anyone. It’s honest in way where it makes me feel like some of the songs were written just for me. So, let’s discuss her EP that I’m massively obsessed with…
Emotionally Unavailable is a six song EP with the first song being her chart-topping single Go. If you haven’t heard this song yet where have you been? Go is a song about your partner abusing your trust and hurting you in a way you never thought they would ‘I can’t trust you anymore.’ This song connects with so many people because it’s a situation that so many of us have experienced. Learnt to love goodbyes is a song about the fear of abandonment and expecting the person to leave because that’s all you’ve seen and experienced from those around you ‘people coming and go.’ Even when the person tells you they’re here to stay you still think they will eventually end up leaving, because you’re used to it happening. It’s so nice and comforting to hear someone else express feelings that you know so many other people are going through. Just knowing that there’s someone else out there who understands and is going through the same emotions is comforting for those going through it. Anxiety is one of my comfort songs and another song I massively connect to because it talks about anxiety always being in control when making decisions and wondering what life would be like without it existing. What would life be like without my anxiety getting the best of me sometimes? It’s time for me now to see what life is like ‘minus you’ even if that does scare me.
Ghosting is about needing time away from everyone when going through stuff because that’s just how you deal with things but ‘I promise I’m not ghosting you.’ This is another special song for me and one I connect to whole heartedly because I’m an introverted person who just needs time to be by themselves when going through things. I’m not purposely trying to ghost anyone I just need time alone to go through what I’m feeling but ‘don’t stress I’ll be fine.’ We’re Not Kids Anymore is about a friendship breakup and you reminiscing on that friendship you once had with that person. Friendship breakups are actually one of the most painful things to go through because you’ve had this person in your life for so long and have done everything together and now, they’re gone. How did we even get here? I feel like everyone has gone through a friendship breakup at one point in their life and this song just reminds me of that person and the friendship we had.
Her last song on the EP is Emotionally Unavailable which is a song about being scared to give your heart to someone even when you want to give that love and trust to them. I’m emotionally unavailable right now but I’m trying to change that and be open ‘So can you stay while I figure this out?’ Again, this is another song that I really connect to and that I think a lot of people will because it can be hard opening up to someone and trusting them with that. I’m ‘emotionally unavailable but you gotta know that I’m trying though.’ I think this is a perfect song to end the EP on because it sums up everything Cat has expressed on the EP bringing it to a beautiful finish.
Emotionally Unavailable is a real special EP and I’m so proud of her. Watching her grow on Tiktok to where she’s at now is the craziest and proudest feeling. If you haven’t checked out her EP yet give it a listen now because you won’t regret, it.
