A glitzy and flashy piece of artful pop music, Kit Citrine’s ‘Midnight Masquerade’ is a cathartic cry of frustration and rebellion. The song draws inspiration from Citrine’s own life experience, particularly their trouble and grief following the death of their father during the increasingly difficult to live in global pandemic. Kit Citrine had given up music a few years ago to work a 9-5 job. But these major life events, the most troubling of which involved loss and reconciliation compelled her to return to her work in the industry.
The tune feels innately empowering, a symbolic art pop tune that’s resplendent and loaded with glamour that just screams and exudes self expression. Tackling themes of inner self, gender identity, and coming to terms with you are, Kit Citrine makes music that’s conscious while being uplifting all at once.
