“Was It Almost Love?” by Kat Kikta illustrates how, even when breaking down, it can be a process of opening the heart to closer love and support. This alternative pop single beautifully pairs melancholy strummed melodies with ethereal vocals that soothe while pricking at old pain.
Central to the song is an empowering epiphany that love isn’t about another person, nor can a life’s worth be quantified by whether someone decides to stick around or not. Kat taps into that tender but freeing moment when heartbreak blossoms into finding oneself.
The lyrics resonate with the voice of someone lovelorn, shattered, and forsaken but still opting for light over despair. The song’s production reflects a tender and soft-spoken tone, thick with emotion that simmers like a gentle storm. Kat’s approach comes off as deeply intimate, almost a murmured confessional to the listener.
“Was It Almost Love?” serves as a balm for anyone who has trouble coming to terms with their past, encouraging them that the future is not about letting go so much as it is grasping hold of what’s in front of us. It’s a hug for the troubled heart, and “Was It Almost Love?“ is evidence that sometimes, the most haunted songs are also those that soothe.
