After the deliberately messy punch of their debut single HORS LA LOI, DJ Puce returns with Kitten Paws, a cozy yet catchy alt-pop track, out this Friday, February 13. Built on icy synths and hazy electronic textures, the song is made for anxious people with cold hearts who need a hug.
Through quirky metaphors, Kitten Paws tells a story of emotional distance, capturing the quiet anxiety of waiting, overthinking, and longing for warmth. True to DJ Puce’s playful DIY spirit, the track favors emotional honesty over polish. If HORS LA LOI was about rejecting perfection through chaos, Kitten Paws does it through vulnerability.
“I took the lyrics directly from my journal. And some quotes from my therapist — shout out to her. I’m raw and vulnerable. Be nice. Kitten paws are soft, but they still have claws.” — DJ Puce
With Kitten Paws, DJ Puce continues to build a pop universe rooted in realness. More releases are planned for 2026, each one documenting the artist’s creative experiments and growth in real time, inviting us along for every step.
