You got a blue, blue heart You see, I don't really blame you at all But you haven't spoken to me for weeks and I wanted to reach out and see Are you really that bad? Am I really that bad? Is it really that bad? Could it really do you in? I've been a bad, bad girl You see, I can't really read you at all But I don't think you like the things that you see I think I grew up less than you wanted me to be Still, are you really that bad? Am I really that bad? Is it really that bad? Can it really do you in? Do you wanna leave me this way? Can you really leave things this way? Do you wanna leave me this way? Do you wanna leave me? Do you wanna leave me? In a dark, dark world I wish that I could be the light you need but I don't think you're ever gonna trust me A futile attempt for you to love me, for me. Still, are you really that bad? Am I really that bad? Is it really that bad? Could it really do you in? (Chorus)

Trust 04:18
I'm alright, I'm alright I'm gonna be fine Just take a breath Eating me alive Wondering why Teeth that clench Arms that sweat Make it stop Take it back I paint myself in a life that I could've had Will you stay the night? Until everything's alright Because I just can't trust what I see Cause I know what I feel I just can't trust what I see Cause I know what I feel I'm uptight, I'm uptight Empty my mind Just take a breathe Crawling inside Gripping for life Sleepless nights Thoughts that bite Let it out Off the leash Don't tell anyone bout the company I keep Will you stay the night? Until everything's alright? Chorus

about

Mari Kattman has je ne sais quoi. That special something that sets her apart in a big way.

Maybe it's the years of working hard as a singer for hire with some of the best acts in the genre. Or maybe it is the laser focus and dedication that she brings to the table. Or maybe she is just an absolutely amazing singer, producer, and songwriter. In the end, it doesn't matter.

What matters is her music! "Is it really that bad" was born in a place of pain and despair. Mari took that pain and transformed it into a sparkling diamond - powerful, catchy, and unbreakable. But she never lost her humanity and soul. This duality of passion and strength is what makes her tracks so exceptionally powerful. Dance music is by design functional. It has to "literally" move you. Often this effectiveness comes at the expense of emotion. Auto-tuned vocals tend to have that effect. Producers who bridge this gap are rare - but Mari makes it look easy.

And she is just getting started!

about

Mari Kattman Boston, Massachusetts

Vocals characterized by moments of lush harmonies with strategic vocal/musical syncopation resembling that of the hip hop genre. Music can be described as having a good balance of ambient pads cut up by ticking high hats with deep and boomy kicks. The bass lines are moody and dark with a low end presence that’s sure to shake your speakers. ... more
