Pretty Little Saturday Reveals Stunning New Single ‘Long Overdue’

“Long Overdue” plays like the opening scene of a beautifully understated indie film — the kind with slow pans, wide landscapes, and a swelling score that never oversteps. Pretty Little Saturday, the project of Asheville-based artist Kristi Knupp, captures this mood with remarkable precision. Her debut single is a sonic study in contrast — stillness and motion, nostalgia and new beginnings.

Knupp's background in visual storytelling comes through in her lyrics and sound design. The track’s dreamy production layers synths and reverb-washed guitars with a painterly touch, while her vocals — soft and searching — move like wind through tall grass. It’s the kind of song that rewards repeated listens; subtle details reveal themselves slowly, like secrets finally surfacing. You hear the influence of Kacey Musgraves and Maggie Rogers, but filtered through Knupp’s own lens of introspection.

The real magic of “Long Overdue” lies in its restraint. It doesn’t demand your attention with bombast — instead, it invites you in, offering space to feel and reflect. As a debut, it’s not just promising — it’s quietly powerful, the work of an artist who’s clearly been building toward this moment for a long time.
