Empath – “Born 100 Times”

Empath, Best New Band honorees and creators of one of 2019’s best debuts in Active Listening: Night On Earth, are back with a new single. “Born 100 Times” picks right back up where they left off, noisy and gleeful and ramshackle on the surface while displaying some serious hook-work going on underneath. “Is this the power you thought you had?” Catherine Elicson sounds off in the chorus. “You want it, you got it, oh yeah!”

“‘Born 100 Times’ is structurally very simple, consisting of a couple of hooks and a verse sung overtop of two repeated chords. I imagined a restructured pop song, having it start instantly with the hook and then eventually reaching a verse,” Elicson said in a statement. “While the lyrics are a somewhat spiritual reflection on devotion and power in one’s life, an isolating and very internal experience, the video offers a different viewpoint.”
