“The Met” is the second single from Brooklyn trio Colatura’s upcoming debut LP, which was produced by Charles Mueller (Miss Grit) and is due in early 2022. “The Met,” like the rest of the upcoming album, was written collaboratively during the COVID quarantine by passing demos back and forth, and eventually taking a writing retreat upstate once quarantine and in the band’s own “pod.”
A quote from the band regarding the track’s inspiration: “You ever have one of those “take yourself on a date” solo days that’s supposed to be empowering – a big middle finger to the dating world – but turns into something altogether the opposite? It’s a beautiful day, you’re alone walking the halls of the Met museum, taking in culture, searching for inspiration, but with no one by your side to share it with you struggle to find the beauty in any of the art and instead get lost in your own head.”
