Kate Dinsmore’s latest single, “Reckless,” is a bold step forward in her sonic evolution. The first offering from her upcoming EP Wishful Thinking, the track is a vibey, genre-blurring anthem produced by Sean Woolstenhulme (known for his work with Lifehouse and The Calling). It’s the kind of song that hooks you from the first listen, balancing raw emotion with a polished indie-pop sheen.
The Seattle-based singer-songwriter brings her signature powerhouse vocals to the forefront on “Reckless,” weaving a narrative of defiant freedom and joyous abandon. Layers of shimmering guitars, pulsing synths, and a steady drumbeat build towards a euphoric crescendo, where a jubilant chorus of voices joins Dinsmore in a triumphant declaration. The track’s energy ebbs and flows, pulling listeners into its irresistible rhythm before dissolving into a dreamlike fade.
Dinsmore’s ability to channel vulnerability and strength through her music is what makes her stand out. Drawing on influences that range from jazz and rock to Americana, her style feels refreshingly dynamic yet emotionally grounded. Over the years, she’s honed her craft, gaining a devoted following in Seattle’s music scene and sharing stages with legends like Pat Benatar and Colin Hay.
“Reckless” captures the universal feeling of breaking free—whether it’s from a relationship, expectations, or self-doubt. With its infectious melody and undeniable groove, it’s the perfect anthem for those cathartic, windows-down drives where you leave the past behind and embrace the unknown.
As Kate Dinsmore prepares to release Wishful Thinking, “Reckless” sets the tone for an artist fully embracing her voice and vision. For fans of indie rock, alt-pop, and emotionally charged songwriting, this is one track you won’t want to miss.
