Kate Wild unveils her empowering debut EP, ‘Hopeless Optimist’
London based singer, songwriter and producer Kate Wild has unveiled her anticipated debut EP ‘Hopeless Optimist Listen HERE.
After cutting her teeth in the dance music space, with featured samples of her vocals amassing over 400 million streams, Kate’s solo material sees her fully spread her wings as a pop songwriter, showcasing all of her musical talents in their full glory.
Speaking about the release of ‘Hopeless Optimist’, Kate Wild says: “This EP journeys through my heartache in the exhausting world of dating via screens and statistics, while taking my bad judgments light heartedly and acknowledging the growth and confidence it’s given me moving forward. To quote the writer, Case Kenny: ‘I’d rather be a hopeless optimist than stop believing there are still good people and rewarding experiences left in the world’”.
Kate released her first official single 'Everything I Hate About You' back in March 2024. Opening the EP, the track sets the resilient tone that permeates throughout ‘Hopeless Optimist’, with its honest lyrics on owning mistakes and taking confidence moving forward. ‘Heartache’ brings Kate’s Scandi-pop influences to the fore with its infectiously catchy choruses and upbeat feel. ‘Who You Are’ assures listeners of their inner strength, and their ability to bounce back from life’s struggles before closing track ‘When It Rains’ fully embodies the EP’s reflective but fun energy, with its lyrics of heartache pairing with feel-good sonics to dazzling effect.
Co-produced and vocal engineered by the artist herself, Kate proudly represents the tremendous talents of female identifying producers, engineers and creators in the industry. For the EP, she also worked alongside GRAMMY-nominated producer Charlie McClean (Diana Ross, Jack Antanoph, Purple Disco Machine) and Wolfgang Pander (R3hab).
The perfect antidote for anyone experiencing heartache in relationships, ‘Hopeless Optimist’ channels Kate’s inner-most thoughts through her own carefully crafted niche of powerful pop.
