There’s something special about discovering an artist before the rest of the world catches on, and TEHYA feels like one of those artists.
The Pacific Northwest singer-songwriter has officially released her newest single, “catch//release,” a deeply emotional track that explores the complicated reality of loving someone who may no longer be good for you.
Honest, vulnerable, and beautifully written, the song serves as the first taste of her upcoming five-track EP, a changeable feast, arriving August 14th. At its core, “catch//release” tells the story of a relationship that’s difficult to walk away from, even when you know it’s holding you back.
TEHYA compares the experience to a fish caught on a hook, recognizing the pain being caused while still feeling unable to let go. The result is a song that feels both intimate and universally relatable.
What makes TEHYA especially intriguing is the path she’s taken to get here. Raised in the Pacific Northwest, she built her career largely on her own terms. After leaving home at 16, she immersed herself in underground music and taught herself the tools to create music.
Today, she not only writes her own lyrics but also plays multiple instruments, including guitar, keys, and drums. With a growing catalog of thoughtful, genre-blending music and a highly anticipated EP on the horizon, TEHYA is proving she’s an artist worth keeping on your radar.
You can stream “catch//release” now, and if this single is any indication, a changeable feast may end up being one of the most exciting indie-pop releases of the summer.
