Track Breakdown

Katie’s debut album ‘Comin’ on Strong’ is a punchy collection of love songs; an amazing, emotional roller-coaster ride; starting with the catchy ‘young, free & single’ club song ‘Putcha Finger on the Record’, moving into the caustic ‘Give it a Rest’ dismissal of the Lothario ‘with no heart’…the pain that was masked in that  track is plain to hear in the softer, almost country-rock ballad ‘Just When I think I’m Over You’. It’s this track that gives the album its title with the signature chorus ‘the feelin’ comes on …comin’ on strong’.

The tempo picks up again with a sexy, smooth dance floor song ‘Don’t Wanna Stop’ – a modern version of an ‘across the crowded room’ moment when you spot the one you want… the mood develops  a real emotional pull with ‘Wrong all Along’ – the title says it all - time and tears wasted until you finally give up and say goodbye.  The aftermath of unrequited love is depicted in the well-titled ‘Fall Apart’ – a rocking, banging outburst of fury and pain.

The temperature stays high with just what every broken heart needs, the ex wants you back and you get to say, I’ve got…… ‘Better Things to Do’ than cry over you…even if you don’t really quite mean it yet… Then later, he’s back and you’re giving him the second chance he doesn’t deserve and your heart is on your sleeve and you’re ‘Terrified’ – this is a real up and downer of a track, racing through at an ‘edge of my seat’ heart-stopping pace.

Katie’s smoky voice takes on a plaintive plea for ‘Something from You’ - a ‘show me and tell me’ appeal that is obviously falling on deaf ears. The heartbreaking ‘Not Without You’ is a desolate expose of raw and lonely pain, and the smooth vocals articulating the desolation almost reach the point of being too hard to listen to. The album is rescued from its nadir with a bounce back to acerbic wit with ‘OMG’ – when faced with the discovery that he’s ‘a woman on both legs and both arms kinda man’….oh my god, you are kidding me – this is the end…

black on black

you're the one to go
i'm alright now
tryin'a tell ya
right from the start
the reason
what you've done to me
yes i do
faith died
i just might
one night
i lost me too
can't do this

this is a darker, grittier album where rejected love fights to come through the other side. the music is harsher, the lyrics harder and the feeling in the vocals projects each songs sentiment taking the listener on a roller coaster ride of emotions.
