Fresh from her regional Victoria and NSW tour, multi-instrumentalist and dynamic artist Kat Greta returns with her latest single, ‘Summer Daze’ (out now). With its unique, modern-60s and joyful sound, the track captures the vibrancy of the Australian summer while showcasing Kat’s original and free-spirited style.

For Kat, ‘Summer Daze’ is a deeply personal project that took years to perfect. “I feel like I’m sharing my most authentic self in this song,” she explains. “Recreating the essence of the ‘60s in a new way was a challenge—it’s not the kind of song that people would expect to hear these days. This song is my love letter to the Australian summer, but it’s also about holding on to the things that matter, especially as I navigate my own cultural identity. As both of my parents are unwell and I’ve lost close family members recently, I’ve been reflecting a lot on what it means to preserve traditions, memories, and the feeling of belonging. This song is my attempt to honour those pieces of myself—my Italian heritage and my connection to Australia—while embracing change.”

Drawing inspiration from icons like Burt Bacharach, The Seekers, and The Beatles, Kat has crafted a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Her melodies evoke a timeless warmth while embracing a modern energy.

At its core, ‘Summer Daze’ is a love letter to the Australian summer, a reflection of how Kat’s connection to the country’s traditions shaped her artistry. “The Australian summer has always been a part of my identity—beach days, family gatherings, sunsets, and the warmth that comes with it. It’s a reminder of the simplicity and beauty of our traditions,” Kat shares. “But, as we know, traditions can be fleeting. This song is about cherishing what makes Australia so unique, and finding joy in the moments we can hold on to—especially in the face of change.”

Lindsay Gravina (The Living End, Magic Dirt, Jet, Adalita), who co-produced and mixed the track, shares, “When Kat brought over this song to work on, I was immediately reminded of the quality of songwriting that harks back to the time of Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield, or Cilla Black. I asked myself, ‘What would Burt Bacharach do with this?’ It’s unashamedly retro, but hopefully with an uncontrived, fresh pop feel, which for me helps set Kat apart from a lot of her contemporaries. The ‘60s lives!’”

As a multi-instrumentalist, Kat plays an active role in every step of her music creation. She describes her work as a singer, songwriter, producer, drummer, pianist, and percussionist as key to fully realising her vision.

The ‘Summer Daze’ music video, directed by Dayne Edward, brings the song’s playful energy to life. Filmed at the iconic Mt Martha beach boxes, the video features a quirky twist with cloned versions of Kat performing multiple roles. “We wanted to capture the colour and essence of the Australian summer, and the beach boxes were the perfect setting,” Kat explains. “The video takes the viewer on a journey, just like the song, reflecting how special and unique this culture is.”
