After announcing her musical reinvention as Toro Gato, Kat Graham releases the TORO GATO: PART I EP as a limited release exclusively on YellowHeart, the NFT marketplace for music, ticketing and community tokens which accepts both crypto and credit card payments. It’s one of the first albums ever to be released as an NFT exclusive.
The self-titled EP includes six unreleased songs with accompanying short films. Starting off with the opening track, FALL 4 U, Toro Gato sets the tone by burying Kat in the video, signifying the death of the pop-dance performer and the birth of the trip-hop infused artist. With the painfully honest admissions on WHITE FLAG and THE UNKNOWN, to the brutal lyrics and aggressive production on SORRY I SHOT YOU, fans get a closer look into the notoriously private life of the artist.
Shedding the pop-dance performer image she was known for after a “soul epiphany” in 2017, Kat created Toro Gato, Spanish for Bull Cat. The birth of Toro Gato marks a new chapter in the artist’s musical life, indicating a major shift in her creative process. From the live string quartets paired with the haunting and fearless raw visuals, Toro Gato plants a flag in this new unchartered territory. Some of the original music production by Kat Graham was created over a decade ago for friend David Blaine’s specials.
In close collaboration with her partner Darren Genet, who directed all six films on the EP and was vital in the genesis of TORO GATO, Graham’s love of Chilean-French filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky helped inspire the music video.
“Kat Graham is an extremely talented artist, and we’re so excited to be a part of her next chapter. By releasing ‘Toro Gato: Part 1’ exclusively on YellowHeart as one of the first ever albums to be released entirely as an NFT, Toro Gato is taking her power back as an artist,” said Josh Katz, CEO and founder of YellowHeart. “We can’t wait for fans to be able to experience Toro Gato’s inaugural audio visual EP, and participate in a chapter of music history.”
The artist is eager to share her vision and work with the world, saying “this album is much more personal than any album I have ever released previously. Being somebody that has dealt with a lot of heartbreak and loss in my life, it can own you, and haunt you. Toro Gato is the part of us that embraces that inner fight.”
