About Kittie Band
If you're looking for subtle, look somewhere else.
I've Failed You leverages the raw nerves of a brittle psyche against an unyielding human spirit, and elevates Kittie to all new extremes.
"This is a very sad album and it's a very heavy album, it's something I had to get out," says frontwoman Morgan Lander. "The last two years between In the Black and now have been extremely difficult, and a lot of things have impacted the lyrical content. We've pretty much gone through an entire life upheaval and a lot of changes, and these songs tell a story - it's the downfall of a relationship, coming to terms, and finding the strength to move on."
In itself, that's something new for the band's principal lyricist, who is more accustomed to burying her heart, rather than wearing it on her sleeve. "I feel like I veil a lot of things and make them ambiguous so our fans can think what they'd like, but with this album I really put it all out there and am totally honest. It's okay to be upset, it's okay to be human. This is an honest album, and it's something that a lot of people can relate to - I feel weird talking about the content and sharing that part of my life, but I feel like it makes for a much better experience."
Ironically, the album's lead single "We Are the Lamb" was the only track with lyrics by Mercedes Lander - Morgan's sister and Kittie's drummer. "It's weird how that song came about - I was watching TV and thought, 'holy f**k, I need to write a song...' and it literally came out that fast," says Mercedes. "It's about coming to terms with the fact that sometimes things need to be sacrificed before we can move on. The song just really brought everything on this album into perspective for me..." read more
