Seattle-based electropop sensation YellaCatt returns with her latest single, “Dark Star,” a track that embodies her unique blend of deep, sexy beats and infectious melodies. Emerging from the shores of the Salish Sea and deeply rooted in the rich forests of the Pacific Northwest, YellaCatt has carved a distinct niche for herself in the music industry since she first burst onto the scene in the early 2000s. Conceived in 2017, the YellaCatt project showcases her evolution from rock and blues origins into the vibrant world of electropop, where she seamlessly blends elements of pop, electro-pop, and indie pop to create a sound that is as captivating as it is unique.

With lyrics like “whip it to me Dark Star, sweat the sheets,” she confidently owns her power, inviting her object of desire into a world that is both otherworldly and intimately sensual. This duality of mysticism and allure is a hallmark of her music, which often swings between deep, infectious beats and spiritual, shamanic tones.
The music video for “Dark Star,” directed by long-time collaborator Sequoia Emmanuelle, is a visual feast that reflects YellaCatt’s commitment to her craft. Shot across three distinct locations chosen by YellaCatt herself, the video is a highly collaborative effort that brings together a team of talented creatives. Choreographer Genna Carey, dancers Genna Carey and Hannah Simmons, and stylist Melvin Sanders all contribute to the video’s rich tapestry of movement, color, and fashion-forward fantasy. The result is a visually stimulating experience that complements the song’s sonic depth, highlighting YellaCatt’s flair for combining edgy yet feminine opulence with sleek, vibrant aesthetics.
