About Colleen Rhatigan
Genre: RnB/pop
With an atmospheric Neo-Soul sound, Colleen Rhatigan makes vulnerable music for the empaths. Her raw lyrics reflect on struggles with mental health and painful relationships. With influences from Daniel Caesar and Ariana Grande, Colleen uses emotional instrumentals with a variation between soft, breathy, and powerfully stacked vocals. Her songs tend to use modal harmonies and stray away from strict forms. Her audience tends to consist of young adults (16-25) who are artsy and deeply emotional. Colleen is currently finishing up writing her first EP, “gonna be ok,” and will be in the studio to record this fall. Her first single, “lotus,” will be released this spring, with the EP following a couple of months after. Following the EP release, Colleen plans to do a small tour focused in Boston, New York, and a plethora of California cities, including Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo, and San Francisco.
