Katy Tiz recently released “Life.” The single features Ed Drewett in a stripped down duet about outlaw love.
Katy’s musical career began in England, where she and her brother, George, along with Rick Parkhouse, wrote and recorded. George and Rick went on to form Red Triangle Productions (Charlie Puth, 5 Seconds of Summer), while Katy moved to sunny SoCal, recording her breakout single “The Big Bang,” which hit the Hot 100 and led to a deal with Atlantic Records. She followed with “Whistle (While You Work It),” accumulating 19 million streams on Spotify and performances on The Today Show and On Air with Ryan Seacrest.
Recently signed to Steve Madden’s 5Towns Records, Tiz collaborated with Drewett to co-write “Life.”

Tiz describes the single, saying, “The funny thing about life is that you just have to trust the timing of it. I’ve finally learned that. We created “Life” four years ago and I have believed in it ever since. ‘Life’ shows a different side to me. I had full on laryngitis when I recorded it, so it’s less polished pop and more of an honest and stripped back track. The verses are reminiscent of an outlaw love, like Bonnie and Clyde.”
“Life” opens with a lightly strummed guitar, followed by Tiz’s smoky vocals. The next line adds Drewett’s smooth tone to the syncopated pop rhythm, imbuing the track with subtle intensity. The two voices harmonize with a silky and evocative resonance, like dark honey mixed with mellowed whiskey.
The charming melody flows steadily with powerful vocal performances, as Tiz and Drewett sing about a notorious love affair. “I think I met him in September ’bout a year ago / I took some money from my daddy and we hit the road / I have to say if I’d ‘a known what I shoulda’ known / I’d ‘a still let him steal everything I own.”
“Life” delivers a stripped down pop song that highlights the singers’ raw, sensual tones.
