KTJ & CARLY, the dynamic twin-sister duo known for their poignant lyrics and catchy hooks, are back with a powerful new single, “Bitter”. This release marks yet another chapter in their evolving musical journey, following fan-favourite tracks like “Pink Ferrari”, “Nice Guy But”, and the recently acclaimed “Forever Young”. As they prepare to take their electrifying live performances across the nation, KTJ & CARLY are set to make waves with both their new music and their much-anticipated tour. This acts as the follow-up to their previous single “Mister Bare Minimum”.

Written by Caroline Haynes (CARLY), Ella Cabrera Collier, Katheryn Jane Haynes (KTJ), and Sarah Anne Underwood, whilst it has been produced by the twin sisters, “Bitter” showcases KTJ & CARLY’s ability to channel frustration and disillusionment into an irresistible dark-pop anthem. Taking influential beats from the hip-hop scene and intricately weaving them into their indie-dark-pop vibes, these singer-songwriters and producers stun with their awesome delivery, strong vocals, and gorgeous harmonies. The lyrics reflect the duo’s struggle to navigate the complexities of modern life and how difficult adulting can be.

Instrumentally, this song effortlessly stands out with its dynamic beat and vibrant sonic energy, building to a climax that underscores the track’s themes of resentment and hope. Despite its title, the song offers a brief yet impactful escape from the chaos, wrapped in a pristine dark-pop package that only these twin sisters could deliver.

As they continue to captivate audiences with their music, they’re also gearing up for a nationwide tour, starting next month. Fans can expect an unforgettable experience as the duo brings their magnetic stage presence to the cities of New York, Los Angeles, Washington, and San Francisco. With a setlist that promises to feature fan favourites alongside fresh material, this tour is shaping up to be as memorable as the music itself.
