Cat Burns Reflects on Loss and Love in Her Emotional New Album

Cat Burns, known for her strategic and elusive role on Celebrity Traitors, reveals a much more vulnerable side in her second album, *How To Be Human*. The album, following her debut *Early Twenties*, explores themes of grief, loss, and emotional growth, especially as Burns reflects on the death of her father in 2020 and her grandfather’s passing in 2023. Her music, which includes both heartfelt ballads and more playful tunes, contrasts the tough persona she displayed on *The Traitors* with intimate, raw songwriting. From the tender opening track *Come Home*, where Burns includes a voice message from her grandfather, to tracks like *All This Love* inspired by Andrew Garfield’s reflections on grief, the album blends sorrow with hope. Burns’ vocals feel conversational, like a cathartic exchange with a close friend. While the album touches on difficult subjects like breakups and loss, it also highlights Burns’ determination to find strength in hardship, balancing sadness with moments of joy and connection. The album showcases her evolution as an artist and person, reflecting her journey of embracing vulnerability and self-discovery.
