\u2018Enough\u2019\xa0is an ode to lost lovers in which\xa0Kat\xa0continues exploring the darkest angles of an unhealthy relationship. The new cut follows on recently released singles, the vulnerable synthwave slow jam,\xa0\u2018I Am Nothing\u2019, which found the talented artist at her most intimate and vulnerable, and the debut single\xa0\u2018Exorcism\u2019\xa0-\xa0defined by\xa0Billboard\xa0as\xa0\u201ca darkwave bop about love, loss and change\u201d\xa0- which unveiled the album's recurring theme, in\xa0Kat\u2019s own words;\xa0\u201c\u2018Love Made Me Do It\u2019 is a collection of all my hopeless romantic thoughts poured into one album.\u201d\xa0Talking to\xa0American Songwriter,\xa0Kat\xa0revealed; \u201cit\u2019s being able to dip into those feelings of codependency or craziness but not actually live in it. Although most of the songs were written during a time of depression, that\u2019s definitely not where I want to live, but there\u2019s a beauty and vulnerability and a strength to that as well. I\u2019m not ashamed of writing out my faults. I\u2019m so full of them.\u201d

Talking about the new single,\xa0Kat\xa0reveals;\xa0\u201cIt was written by Chris Brenner, Danny Lohner from Nine Inch Nails introduced us. They\u2019d\xa0actually worked on the song together, but they\u2019d\xa0never done anything with it. It\u2019s one of only two songs I didn\u2019t write on the album. When I talked to Chris about it, he said, \u2018That was my big breakup song\u2019. The intro lyrics are, \u2018Dove down to the bottom of the dark blue sea searching for any traces that are left of me\u2019. I love that idea. You tend to lose yourself in relationships\u2014good and bad. You\u2019re reflecting on your part and why you stuck around. It attests to our willingness to stay in shitty relationships.\u201d\xa0

\u2018Love Made Me Do It\u2019\xa0sits at the core of\xa0Kat\u2019s universe, proving that music is her first and strongest passion. Having been a classically trained pianist since her youth with a deep appreciation for music of all genres,\xa0Kat\xa0poured her soul into this long-awaited full-length debut album. The project features collaborators including\xa0Dave Grohl, Linda Perry, Dave Sitek (TV On The Radio), Peter Murphy (Bauhaus), Danny Lohner (Nine Inch Nails), Ladyhawke\xa0and\xa0Charo.\xa0

Long before the history-making tattoos, ubiquitous television shows, best-selling books and an influential beauty empire,\xa0Kat\xa0Von\xa0D\xa0sat down at a piano for nearly two hours a day and played. In essence, music became her first creative language and most trusted outlet. Classical training and a deep appreciation for music of all genres essentially underscored her life. She studied voice under Ken Tamplin six days per week, strengthening her vocals. In 2012, she began writing with GRAMMY\xae Award-nominated Linda Perry. Following this experience,\xa0Kat\xa0continued to write on her own, sitting at the piano and summoning songs from raw emotion. During 2014, she retreated to London to record the original mix of what would become her full-length debut album\xa0\u2018Love Made Me Do It\u2019\xa0(KVD/Kartel Music Group) before cementing it with her band \u2013\xa0Gregg Foreman AKA Mr. Pharmacist\xa0(synth 1/Cat Power,\xa0The Gossip),\xa0Sammi Doll\xa0(synth 2/IAMX),\xa0Dave Parley\xa0(drums/Prayers), and\xa0Brynn Route\xa0(contortionist). They moved into a bungalow cottage on her property, lived together, and finished the record. Capping off the process,\xa0Dan Haigh\xa0of\xa0Gunship\xa0handled mixing. A pastiche of shapeshifting analog synths, post-punk dreamscapes, gothic hues, and shy pop magnetism, these eleven songs echo the eternal will of the perennially brokenhearted to love until death.\xa0
