Some songs are meant to be heard. Others are meant to be felt. They don’t just play through your speakers — they echo through the corners of your memory, through dreams you haven’t yet dreamed. Dear Harry, the closing track on Katie C’s debut EP The Poets Might Disagree, is one of those rare songs that feels like a letter never sent, a heartbeat wrapped in melody.
Katie C isn’t just another emerging artist. She’s a storyteller, a dreamer, a soul that dares to turn fleeting emotions into sound. Hailing from the northeast of England, her journey into music began long before she wrote her first lyrics. It began in her home — in the presence of a vinyl collection so beloved, so sacred, that her parents arranged it alphabetically. That collection would eventually land on the “K”s… and pause at Kate Bush. That’s how Katie got her name — not by accident, but through legacy.
From the very beginning, music was more than background noise in Katie’s life. It was language. It was love. Her influences reflect a wide spectrum of emotion: the classic richness of Fleetwood Mac, the heartfelt ease of Niall Horan, the bold sensitivity of Anne-Marie. And in the center of it all — like a star her orbit always returns to — is the artist who inspired Dear Harry: Mr. Harry Styles.
Katie began songwriting during the stillness of lockdown, when the world stood still and the heart grew louder. She started releasing indie pop tracks full of honest reflection and soft emotional textures — a sound that caught the ears of BBC Introducing, signaling that something genuine and new had arrived.
But Dear Harry is different. It wasn’t just written — it was imagined. Katie pictured a perfect moment: a first love, a quiet date at the beach, a touch of light that felt like magic. She layered that image with gentle guitars and a thoughtful piano line, creating a song that doesn’t just tell a story — it lives in one.
Now remastered for her debut EP, Dear Harry takes on new depth. It brings closure to the project, not just sonically but emotionally. It's a song inspired by admiration — by the kind of dream that might feel silly to say out loud, but lives inside us nonetheless. As a proud Gen Z artist, Katie C is unashamed to reveal her influences. Her love for Harry Styles isn't a gimmick — it’s an anchor. It reminds us that even our idols can become muses for our most personal truths.
The Poets Might Disagree isn’t just a poetic title. It’s a declaration — that emotions don’t always make perfect sense, that not everyone will understand your art, and that’s okay. Katie writes from the kind of emotional honesty that doesn’t ask for permission. Her music isn’t made to impress — it’s made to connect.
With the launch of her brand-new merch line tied to the EP, Katie invites her listeners even deeper into her world. It's not just about owning a T-shirt or a vinyl. It’s about carrying a piece of the feeling. About being part of a story that — while personal to her — might just echo something universal in all of us.
Katie C is part of a new wave of artists who are unafraid to be soft, unafraid to be real. Her songs don’t shout — they whisper, and yet they speak volumes. She isn’t trying to become a pop star. She’s trying to tell the truth. And Dear Harry might just be the most beautiful truth she’s ever told.
So if you’ve ever fallen in love with someone you never really knew…
If you’ve ever made up stories in your head just to feel a little less alone…
If you’ve ever believed in something that existed only in your heart —
Then Dear Harry is yours, too.
