Kate Peytavin’s Generation Numb captures the complexity of youth with a sound inspired by ’90s rock, now available.
19-year-old singer-songwriter Kate Peytavin has released her debut EP, Generation Numb, a captivating six-track journey through the struggles of coming of age. Out on Capitol Records/S10 Records, the project is defined by its raw alt-pop sound and Peytavin’s confessional lyrics, blending high-energy beats with a deeply personal narrative.
Peytavin’s work on Generation Numb shines through collaborations with noted producers Jeremy Hatcher, Paris Carney, Mark Nilan Jr., and Mozella. Inspired by ’90s alt-rock and coming-of-age films like Girl, Interrupted, the EP closes with “i don’t feel anything,” a track that earned praise from John Mayer, who called her “a cool artist” on his SiriusXM radio show. Other songs, such as “HELP!” and “hang a mirror on yourself,” tackle themes of self-reflection and independence.
With tracks like “happy when i’m sad” and “under it,” Peytavin brings her emotional depth to life, offering listeners both an introspective and energetic experience. Generation Numb is a standout debut that captures Peytavin’s journey in today’s desensitized world.
