Biography

Katharina Löwel was born in East Berlin. Her parents fled with her and her sister to West Germany, where they continued their life in Augsburg. After finishing secondary school, she started training as a bank clerk in Munich. She returned to Berlin in 2003, where she met Paul NZA, who contacted Aggro Berlin, and in 2006 signed with Aggro Berlin, appearing as a guest artist on several releases.

Kitty Kat (song)

"Kitty Kat" is a song recorded by American R&B singer Beyoncé Knowles for her second studio album, B'Day (2006). It was composed by Beyoncé Knowles, Pharrell Williams, Makeba Riddick, Shawn Carter, and Chad Hugo. "Kitty Kat" is a mid-tempo R&B song whose lyrics detail a situation where a woman feels that her man has underestimated her. The song was generally well received by music critics who noted it to be a seductive track thanks to its "I'm not feelin[g] it" vibe. However, some music critics felt that the production does not live up to those of other songs featured on B'Day.

"Kitty Kat" was never released as a single but it garnered airplay on R&B stations, thus managing to chart on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, where it reached a high point of number sixty-six in May 2007. The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Melina Matsoukas and co-directed by Knowles for the B'Day Anthology Video Album (2007). It is only one-minute long and it serves as the introduction of the music video for "Green Light" (2007). The video for "Kitty Kat" features Knowles showing cat-like eyes with leopard print make-up and fashion on. In some parts of the clip, Knowles rides on an oversized black cat.
