This Tuesday, May 22nd, Kate Voegele will be releasing her new album Don’t Look Away. She is currently being featured on MySpace which is how I stumbled onto her music. For looking as young as she does, I really think she is amazing.
She has a rock/pop sound. She is more rock than Hillary Duff for sure, but the stories in her lyrics are Duff-like. The best thing is that Voegele is a great guitarist. So she adds a whole new level to her sound. She’s singing pop-esque music but with a rocker’s heart and voice.
If I could compare her to anything current it would be Aly & AJ or The Wreckers. But then you hear her sing “It’s Only Life” and she takes on a whole new sound. Seriously, I’m listening right now and I have chills. If Avril Lavigne sang a love song this would be it. This song is excellent! There is nothing more she could do with it. It starts off slow and then explodes into a passionate, fun and inspiring track that could easily be my favorite on her album.
So if you feel like stepping into a different direction and opening your ears up to something new. Listen to and then buy Kate Voegele’s album coming out this coming Tuesday. I’m already looking forward to her next release.
