WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY:
"In the past, I've given nods to good female vocalists and Kaitlyn is no exception. Here is an alternative to the current female pop cliches, with the single "So Much Better" a really strong song, is part Meredith Brooks attitude and Shania Twain sweetness. She has a strong pop vocal that doesn't overly stylize the song and as an example "Unhappy" has a great melody and understated rock guitar that doesn't take away from the vocal performance. Also worthy of note is Guillermo Guerrero's excellent guitar solo on "Walk Away." A bit of Pat Benetar rock leaks out on "Pressure." Worth checking out for sure. " - PowerPop
"A New Word for Over EP is the debut release from Kaitlyn Anderson. Besides Kaitlyn on lead vocals the rest of her band is, Eric Kambestad (drums), and Guillermo Guerrero (guitar).
Kaitlyn list many musical influences including, Kelly Clarkson, Mandy Moore, Ashlee Simpson, Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavigne, Pink, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood, and Paramore.
I would go back a few years further though and compare her singing voice to that of, Pat Benatar or the Wilson sisters from the band Heart, with her slightly demure yet still rocking vocals.
The style of the 6 tracks found on this EP is mostly rock with a splash of pop.
At first it might be Kaitlyn’s attractive looks that grab your attention but once the vocals start it will be her talent that keeps it.
Kaitlyn has a spunky rock sound that when mixed with the other musicians driving drumbeats and many guitar solos found in the songs create really nice music.
The songs lyrics deal a lot with relationship issues and difficult decisions that everyone must make from time-to-time in their life. You’ll also find though that Kaitlyn is a person that believes in dreams and, that if you follow yours, in the end it will all work out for the best.
If Kaitlyn Anderson keeps putting out music like found on A New Word for Over she can rest assured that all of her music related dreams will be coming true." - CW Place
“Don’t be intimidated by your destiny just because the journey seems too challenging. We all have hopes and dreams for a reason. Honor your gifts and never let go of what you truly want in life.”
It isn’t easy being a singer/songwriter in today’s fickle music industry. Everyone wants the same thing and there are only a handful of opportunities for these passionate artists to grab a hold of. In Los Angeles, where Kaitlyn is from, performers are seemingly a dime a dozen and people with amazing talent fail to stand out in the crowd because they get lost in the shuffle of everyone else inundating the industry with the same sound.
In comes Kaitlyn Anderson…
Kaitlyn’s dreams began on a stage in Texas, where as a natural performer, this 3 year old took over the show as she shuffled across the dusty floorboards in her tailored Statue of Liberty costume. Her piercing blue eyes and tremendous passion stole the hearts of the crowd and little did she know, it was the beginning of a long and amazing journey ahead.
After years of work and passion, Kaitlyn has perfected her sound on her debut EP (released on May 9, 2008) “A New Word for Over...” as rock blended with a kiss of pop. She notes that her musical influences came from the sounds of Paramore, The Foo Fighters, Carrie Underwood, and Mandy Moore.
Kaitlyn now resides in Nashville, Tennessee. She believes it is where songwriters flourish. "I'm tremendously excited about my new life here, and am actively looking for co-writers and any possible collaborations."
She is currently changing her genre from more of a rock feel to country / pop / singer-songwriter.
As a passionate, idealistic, and positive person, Kaitlyn says her lyrics are emotional-- a direct result of her wearing her heart on her sleeve. Sometimes bitter, sometimes sassy, many of her lyrics have come from her past tumultuous relationships, and the journey through making difficult life decisions when following your dreams.
Kaitlyn played at shows all over Southern California - noting her favorite venue as the world famous Troubadour, and her hit single “Unhappy” impacted radio and was noted as the “Most-Added” single on indie radio in just one week. The EP “A New Word for Over...” is available at iTunes, BestBuy.com and in select Best Buy stores.
She is also available for singing on any demos; Pop, Country, Rock, Punk, R&B, Singer/Songwriter, etc.
