This is her first single of 2024, and ‘What If I’ is an infectious pop-country jam with a great spirit and an upbeat feel.
‘I feel like we’ve been stuck here for so long’, sings Catharina in classically direct country style, painting the picture of an early, uncertain relationship, that’s ‘too good to call it a mistake’..
