“Before I Lose You” is the final release from Cate Tomlinson’s debut EP “Missing”. The chorus of this song is so catchy and the melodies are beautiful. Tomlinson has a talent when it comes to songwriting and she is definitely a professional singer! We have enjoyed listening to her vocal performance until the last second. She has one of the most charming Pop voices we have ever heard! Her lyrics are catchy and emotional and the production work is amazing and polished. This upbeat track by Cate Tomlinson was definitely a great experience for our team!
WHAT THE ARTIST SAYS ABOUT THE SONG AND EP:
About “Before I Lose You” :
“Before I Lose You came out of a really uncomfortable situation. I made a mistake and it was the first time I was the person in a friendship who had really messed up, and it was on me to repair our relationship, swallow my pride and apologize.”
About “Missing”:
“I’ve been writing since my freshman year of high school, and it took until the beginning of my senior year to write Missing—the first song I listened back to on a voice memo and genuinely wanted people to hear. The rest of the songs fell together pretty naturally and ended up capturing almost every emotional experience I had in my high school senior and college freshman years: ‘Let You In’ is the exhilaration when someone shows you they like you back; ‘Before I Lose You’ is the carried guilt when trying to repair a broken friendship; ‘Muse’ is the state of hope you live in when you have a crush; ‘Bad For Me’ is the frustration and anger that comes with getting screwed over; ‘Missing’ is about manipulation and obsessing over being the one to hold the power in a relationship; and I covered Rancid’s ‘Ruby Soho,’ so my goal was to make something that was completely unlike me (sonically) into a song I can now perform and click with on a deeper level. Because the songs were written and produced over the last year and a half, I’ve had time to develop as an artist and experiment with different sounds. There’s an element of rock on a couple of songs that I hadn’t envisioned when writing them, but allowing myself to be influenced by that genre ended up helping me express myself more accurately than sticking to a more traditional, pop style. I like that all the songs sound a little different from each other. My hope is that there’s something for everyone to enjoy.”
