Katherine Christie Evans is back, and with Lucente Stella (Shining Star), she has truly outdone herself. This isn’t just another single—it’s a genre-defying, time-traveling experience that bridges centuries of musical storytelling into a sound that’s entirely their own.
Drawing inspiration from a 1400s Italian manuscript, the Codex Rossi, Lucente Stella tells a story of unrequited, distant love. Katherine’s virtuosic vocals float above a dark, immersive sonic landscape, weaving through layers of overdriven guitar, ambient textures, and analogue drums that nod to Kraftwerk’s electronic precision. It’s a sound that feels both ancient and futuristic—like stumbling into a medieval cathedral that’s secretly a neon-lit club.
Evans’ DIY ethos shines throughout. Every note, every sonic detail is recorded, mixed, and produced by her, creating an intimate yet expansive world. The track is further elevated by a striking visual companion from Italian multimedia artist Thomas Tokamu, whose inventive video perfectly marries the Medieval origins of the song with contemporary, technological visuals.
Fans of IDM, Shoegaze, alt-rock, or just boundary-pushing music will find themselves captivated. Lucente Stella isn’t just a song—it’s a journey through emotion, history, and imagination, executed with precision and fearless creativity.
A hypnotic collision of Medieval romance and modern sound design, Lucente Stella is Katherine Christie Evans at their most daring and spellbinding.
