Her uniqueness came through on her first album ‘Disco Lemonade’ which gave a name to her into a proclaimed ‘Disco Cowgirl’ aesthetic. These vibes show through in the video singles for the album, Lost in California and Dark Soul. A sultry, lusty aura radiates off these videos, with neon lights and Coen’s bright red locks as a staple for the era she was in three years ago.
In Coen’s new era, she has moved away from the shiny cowgirl aesthetic and settled into a more Y2K inspired look in her new self-directed music video for her new single, unfollow me.
Inspired by Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" video and subsequent iconic visuals of the 2000s pop-punk greats like Paramore, Avril Lavigne, and P!nk–and everything seen on VH1–the "unfollow me" video embodies this nostalgic, playful angst. Explaining the goal of the video, Coen says, "I wanted to make a video for the haters, the lovers, and really anyone who has ever felt like their worth has been defined by how others view them. The truth is, you're never going to please them all so be who YOU are and do what makes YOU happy."
Proudly delivering her latest work to eager fans, Coen adds, "It really feels like the final form my art is supposed to be experienced in." Instead of succumbing to the negative external voices, Coen's mission is to follow her heart and choose herself–resulting in her most authentic, empowering art yet.
When Coen began releasing music, she received a lot of backlash online and "unfollow me" formed as a natural response. Written in 2020, Coen adds it emerged, "when I felt like I was equating my success to how people saw me online. Basically I'm saying: if you don't like me and the way I express myself, unfollow me!" Refusing to succumb to negative noise, Kitty Coen stands firm in her artistic self-expression, confidently choosing herself and wearing her heart on her sleeve.
Coen’s tracks show the girl power and femme fatale energy seen in all of the artist’s music. Her new music continues to advocate for Kitty Coen as one of the most iconic alt rock queens of our time, with fans buzzing that her music is wildly underrated with the saturation of today's market and as expected each single was accompanied by self-directed music video in true Kitty Coen fashion.
