Katie Belle transforms sleepless nights into synth-pop magic with "Bad Dreams"

Katie Belle is once again showing that late-night thoughts and restless energy can be the perfect muse. Her latest single, "Bad Dreams," arrives on the heels of her spring release, "Cigarette!," and is a continuation of an emotional, enchanting narrative that's setting the stage for her late-2025 EP, "People Pleaser."

Clocking in like a sultry, themed mix of synth-driven electro-pop, "Bad Dreams" delves into the mysterious and occasionally haunting realm of insomnia. But beneath its infectious rhythm is an undercurrent of vulnerability and a pulsating soundtrack to a mind that won't let itself rest. Katie Belle, along with co-writer Fabio Campedelli, has penned lyrics that are like diary entries set to music, raw and unapologetic, yet always with a catchy ease that will have you singing along well into the next morning.

Recorded in Fabio Campedelli's studio in LA, the single's slick production is beautifully poised between shimmering synths and drivetime energy, a sound that's both widescreen and personal. Katie's soft leads glide over the band's winding instrumental, inviting listeners into a world where insomnia is both impossible to escape and a muse for all sorts of creation.

Katie Belle continued to establish herself as one of the most relatable voices in the pop terrain today, using her personal experiences as a mirror with which fans can connect, ponder, and even dance. One of her many virtues is that, with every release in advance of People Pleaser, Katie Belle consistently demonstrates her ability to transform everyday human experiences into electrifying, memorable music.
