WL//WH Track Of The Day: KATE DE ROSSET “Chase the Bloom”

Track Of The Day Kate de Rosset

After last January’s fifth album, “It Will Burn”, released via the art collective and audio-visual label founded by Gloria de Oliviera, La Double Vie, the North Carolina-bred musician and composer Kate de Rosset unveils the first single, “Chase the Bloom”, straight from her home studio, part of a work in progress sixth full-length album.

In a world obscured by ominous clouds on the horizon, it is a sheer ephemeral delight for the senses to be enlightened by the enchantment and allurement of Kate’s transcendental electronic dream-pop, straddling expressive melancholy and uplifting rays of hope.

A week before Christmas, I was assembling an electric keyboard for my one-year-old niece. It was an easy task, and as I was testing it out, a melody began to arise. I never would have thought that inspiration could have found me in that moment, let alone that I’d be recording an entire song with it that evening. I think that lack of expectation, along with using the film I was watching as a framework for the lyrics, allowed this song to flow rapidly and playfully, without overthinking. This song is so special to me, and as the last one I wrote in 2025, I’m so delighted for it to be the final song I share in 2026. Kate explains

“Chase the Bloom” is a song about love, transcendence, and promising to stay by a loved one’s side.

Punctuated by shaky, thudding programmed beats, rich, airy swells of wistful organ tones, joined by the poignant fragility of winding flute-like motifs that smoothly grow and breathe, to brighten achingly beautiful, vibrant celestial vocals gently and breathlessly soaring with hope and trust.
