Cat Evers - Aphrodite

Cat Evers - Aphrodite

Rising artist, Cat Evers, has officially released her first-ever music video for the single "Aphrodite," today. The visually captivating video, directed by Breanna Lynn, celebrates femininity, self-discovery, and empowerment through stunning visuals and heartfelt storytelling.

"In developing the concept for the 'Aphrodite' video, I always envisioned a room full of women doing what makes them feel most beautiful—whether it’s singing, dancing, or simply embodying their femininity," Cat Evers shares. "When I came across director Breanna Lynn through a mutual friend, I knew she was the perfect collaborator for
this project."

Set in a charming Victorian house in Harlem, the video captures the essence of girlhood and the journey toward self-discovery, without focusing on overt sexualization. "We wanted to create something grounded, where women could feel empowered to embrace every version of themselves," Cat explains. "The dancers represent different
versions of oneself, as if confronting the idea of settling on one identity, when instead I could embrace them all."

The Victorian home used in the video features pastel-colored rooms and a massive clawfoot bathtub, a detail that added an ethereal touch to the atmosphere. More than just a beautiful backdrop, the house serves as the center for the KOTA Alliance, a nonprofit organization that supports minority women and girls in West Harlem. "It was
really cool to support such an incredible cause while working on this project," Cat adds.

The track, which explores themes of self-discovery and confidence, was written and produced during a writer’s camp Cat Evers attended in April 2023 in upstate New York. Originally conceived as a vocal loop using her BOSS RC202 pedal, the single emphasizes the powerful layering of vocal harmonies—a signature element of Cat’s songwriting process. Drawing inspiration from the sonic landscapes of Frou Frou’s “A New Kind of Love” and Britney Spears’ iconic “Toxic,” the production is both ethereal and dynamic, complementing the message of embracing one’s full identity.

"Aphrodite" celebrates the power of female friendship and empowerment, a theme that came naturally on set with a cast and crew composed largely of women. "I felt so supported throughout the process, and it was easy to connect with everyone," says Cat. The video feels like an ode to the strength that can be found in female connections, underscoring the importance of community and solidarity among women.
