Mari Kattman releases video for ‘Typical Girl’ from new album ‘Year Of The Katt’ on Metropolis Records
Mari Kattman
US electronic musician and vocalist Mari Kattman has released a new video for “Typical Girl”, the opening track on her latest album “Year Of The Katt.” The album was issued in late June 2025 via Metropolis Records.
The video was filmed in downtown Providence, Rhode Island by Mark Allison of 401FilmsPVD. Commenting on the theme, Kattman states: “Typical girl. People say it constantly, so much so it feels almost criminal to be female by birth […] There are so many misunderstandings about what it is to be a woman.”
“Year Of The Katt” includes the previously released singles “Anemia” and “Sharp Shooter”. The album was entirely self-produced: “It was an album completely recorded, composed and produced by myself, so there were a lot of learning curves […] I feel relief and enormously proud that I got it done.”
Mari Kattman has also announced a UK tour in October 2025, where she will appear as the special guest of Assemblage 23. Tour dates include:
- October 15 – Bristol, Exchange
- October 16 – Manchester, Rebellion
- October 17 – Glasgow, Ivory Blacks
- October 18 – Sheffield, Corporation
- October 19 – London, The Dome (downstairs)
