After a prolonged silence that only deepened her mystique, KATMORE (formerly known as Mette Kathrine Mortensen), the lead singer of Off Bloom, emerges with Dancing in the Dark, a song that feels less like a comeback and more like a rebirth. No longer chasing industry trends or perfection, KATMORE’s new musical identity is rooted in self-confrontation, emotional grit, and a renewed sense of creative freedom. Her decision to leave behind the unrealistic demands of mainstream pop has resulted in a rawer, more intimate sound — one that resonates deeply in a world increasingly hungry for authenticity.
Built from the desire of pushing through and learning to love yourself even during the dark times, Dancing in the Dark is both a reintroduction and a statement of intent. Blending organic instrumentation and a pulsating beat, the track was co-produced with MCDC and Vera, and has already captured attention through a viral moment in Netflix’s Baby Fever. Before its release, a demo version garnered thousands of Shazams and sparked passionate discussion online, a clear sign that her story, and her sound, has touched a raw nerve.
Having collaborated with some of the industry’s most influential figures, such as Max Martin, while also earning praise from artists such as Charli xcx, Tove Lo, and Raye, KATMORE is reclaiming ground with force and intent. Thus far, KATMORE’s artistic vision has already reached a wide audience, racking up tens of millions of streams and drawing thousands of fans to shows across Europe, the U.S., and Scandinavia — and she doesn’t plan to being halted any time soon. KATMORE embodies the journey of embracing all parts of ourselves: the light, the dark, and everything in between. Her new sound is unfiltered, genuine, and deeply personal.
