Drawing inspiration from classic horror movie tropes and taking its evocative title from the shadowy world of pre-code film noir, the single offers a darkly poetic yet highly danceable commentary on being your own worst enemy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Nostalgic, Electrifying Sonic Blend<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cM\u201d boasts a powerful and infectious 80s synth vibe that perfectly balances pop exhilaration with dark, atmospheric depth. Listeners will immediately recognize the track&#8217;s homage to the iconic sounds of the past, channeling the innocent pop energy of Tiffany\u2019s \u201cI Think We\u2019re Alone Now\u201d, the sophisticated emotional depth of Annie Lennox, and the cool, commanding presence of Siouxsie Sioux. The result is a song that is both instantly catchy and hauntingly resonant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2019M\u2019 is the soundtrack to chasing yourself down a hallway\u2014it\u2019s thrilling, a little scary, and ultimately, you realize the monster is just your reflection,\u201d says Robichaud. \u201cI wanted to make something that lets you dance through the anxiety and embrace the theatricality of your own mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe title=\"Kat Robichaud- &quot;M&quot; official vertical video\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-SL-unQ618o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>KAT ROBICHAUD is an Oakland-based singer, songwriter, and performance artist whose work has garnered critical acclaim for its theatricality, raw energy, and distinctive musical style. Her elaborate live shows and compelling storytelling have cultivated a devoted following, solidifying her reputation as one of the most exciting and fearless voices in independent music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robichaud prowls around the stage- a hellcat unleashed, furious to have been confined in southern 90s suburbia stasis. With various wigs and rock warrior whimsy, she shrieks catharsis that at once stops and rushes the blood of anyone within earshot of her siren song. Part Janis, part Bette, part Mama Cass- Robichaud writes murder ballads, broadway pop songs about anxiety, and neo-wave rock and roll on anything from alien sex to gaslighting puppeteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Existing in many forms- sometimes host of her hit musical variety show Misfit Cabaret, sometimes drag artist twirling her pearls in the spotlight of gay sex clubs, Robichaud feels most at home among her fellow queerdos, rattling off current hyperfixations and sipping whiskey with the stunning underground Bay Area artists who survived the gorging promises of corporations in late-stage capitolism. She&#8217;s a hell of a show woman and has had 20 years of stage time to prove it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter if she&#8217;s singing in a southern chain chicken joint, a 1,500<br>seat theater in Times Square, a painted plywood speakeasy, or in front of 15 million people watching her on The Voice- she will get your attention and hold it like she&#8217;ll die if she chooses to let go. And you hope she never will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit KAT ROBICHAUD online:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/katrowbeeshow\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.facebook.com\/katrowbeeshow\/\">www.facebook.com\/katrowbeeshow\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/katrowbeeshow\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.instagram.com\/katrowbeeshow\">www.instagram.com\/katrowbeeshow<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>X: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/katrowbeeshow\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/katrowbeeshow<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bandcamp:<a href=\" http:\/\/katrobichaud.bandcamp.com\/\"> http:\/\/katrobichaud.bandcamp.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patreon: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/katrobichaud\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.patreon.com\/katrobichaud\">www.patreon.com\/katrobichaud<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Youtube: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/katrobichaud\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.youtube.com\/katrobichaud\">www.youtube.com\/katrobichaud<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple Music: <a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/artist\/kat-robichaud\/711873783\">https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/artist\/kat-robichaud\/711873783<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Kat Robichaud\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/artist\/03uXnIDdVABccqomdqGxE9?si=Vemf2uKQTfiSH4ii2cIi_w&amp;nd=1&amp;dlsi=145114b8a2e54635&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OAKLAND, CA \u2013 KAT ROBICHAUD, the theatrical powerhouse and songwriter known for her unique blend of rock, cabaret, and genre-bending artistry, is thrilling fans with the announcement of her newest single \u201cM\u201d, set for official release on December 12, 2025.
