"The Ring of Fire" is the freshest track from San Francisco’s own singer-songwriter, Cate Tomlinson. She’s gearing up for her next EP, The Side Effects of You, dropping December 6th. The single? An alt-future-pop love jam, weaving themes of seduction, lust, and temptation—like a dance with the dark side. Intriguing, right?
The production? Dark and cinematic, with a sense of urgency that keeps you on edge. Cate’s captivating vocals slice through the mix effortlessly. She narrates a story of a girl lured by a devilish boy, hinting at danger lurking around the corner. Lines like, "He says baby we’ll leave this life… I’m nothing if you’re not mine… ‘my baby, might burn a little’ but I’ll… Follow him through the ring of fire," reveal just how deep she’s in. Seems like there’s no turning back now.
