Katie Gregson-MacLeod releases "Teenage Love" on Matt Maltese’s Last Recordings On Earth
Katie Gregson-MacLeod has shared the brand new single "Teenage Love", marking her first release since signing to Matt Maltese’s label Last Recordings On Earth.
"'Teenage Love’ honours the small but mighty part of me where anger resides. I wrote the majority of the song over two years ago, making sense of some new resentment I was feeling on behalf of a younger me," says Katie Gregson-MacLeod.
"As a teenage girl, there is a feeling that ‘angry’ is the ugliest thing you can be. Only in hindsight did I realise the power anger would have given me back then; a power that I thought I would land on in the pursuit of appearing ‘mature’ or ‘patient’. The song doesn’t regret, but it questions a lot. It sieves through some residue from past relationships; unanswered questions, resentments. It also laughs at it all the way we must to make sense of it".
Starting out as a poem written on a trip to LA, the track was initially left unfinished during a time of big change, after parting ways with her former major label home in Spring 2024. It was during this time she met with friend and previous co-writer Matt Maltese, who was keen to bring Gregson-MacLeod onboard to his newly formed label - Last Recordings On Earth.
After playing him a demo of the track, the duo were in agreement that now was its time. Speaking on her signing, Matt Maltese adds: "Since writing with Katie years ago, I’ve always been a huge admirer of her ability to combine sadness, humour, anger and poise all at once in her work. She's undeniably a songwriter’s songwriter and I can’t wait to be a part of all the brilliant music to come."
"Teenage Love" is out now via Last Recordings On Earth.
