2019 see Katie back with a new single, which will feature on her second album. For this she is back again with a full band of Sarah Dale (cello, ukulele), Jonny Lexus (guitar etc.), Mitch Oldham (percussion) and Jonny Booth (pedal steel). Here we find Katie singing higher than ever, with a real Kate Bush feel on this track. The arrangement is set so the band come in and out, but always allowing her to be centre stage on everything she is doing. This is well-constructed acoustic singer songwriter material, stretching what is normally expected by the use of strings and pedal steel, all with her wonderful vocals front and centre. Katie throws in the vocal gymnastics when the time is right but never to the detriment to the song. What a talent – here is an artist who really deserves to be discovered.

Rating: 9/10
