There's something both endearing and doomed about how Katie Davis sings her sad songs. At times it seems like her guitar is trying to be optimistic, but her voice refuses to budge from its somber somnambulant unhappiness. This is the type of CD you listen to when you're drunk and alone, contemplating calling your exes to ask them why they stopped loving you.
Soul Shine Magazine Sprung from the rainy lands that are most famous for producing grunge and a mighty expensive cup o' coffee, singer/songwriter Katie Davis has definitely got the self-deprecating thing down. Part early Alanis and part Postal Service with a mean acoustic streak, Davis makes a wonderful showing on her introductory album, albeit a short one.
Smother Magazine A girl this intense and intriguing can’t be alone can she? At least not in the real world. I imagine there’s hordes of folks lining up to see her perform each time she graces the world with her majestic and sultry presence. Thank you Katie for once again proving that American Idol doesn’t find 1% of the best talent in America. (Editor’s Pick)
Catsask Music Review
Katie Davis is sure to be a musical icon once the world hears her. Do yourself a favour. Rock, funk, soul blues . . . it doesn't matter what you love, you have to check her out. Katie is something special, and I do believe I will be seeing and hearing more of her in the future.
Northeast In-Tune Magazine
She has all of the spunk of Alanis Morissette and Melissa Etheridge put together. Her lyrics are filled with irony and melancholy. I have to admit that it took a while for Katie to grow on me, but I'm hooked now. It was the lyrics that did it.
Ear Candy Magazine
With only 4 songs on this disc, it is truly hard to judge Katie Davis. What does stand out is the terrific guitar work and of course Katie’s voice -- it is truly mesmerizing and even transcendent. A great look at possible brilliance if she gets the right songs. Way better than your average singer-songwriter!
Unsigned Music Magazine
It's Katie's raw emotion and soft-spoken voice that makes each track drip with sadness.
Not Quite Hollywood
"She Hates Love Songs" not only made me stop to give it my full attention, it also left me in deep thought. I found myself playing the song again and then listening to the other songs from Katie's first CD, Terrible, Terrible. Based in Seattle, Katie Davis has been gathering an impressive following not only in the Pacific Northwest, but across the country and abroad.
Musical Discoveries
Her introspective and hauntingly beautiful songs -- the kind you hear in the movies over kissing or crying scenes -- liken her to other straight-voiced ladies like Beth Orton, Feist, and Jenny Lewis. The sampling of songs leaves you wanting for more and she shows great potential with her gift of voice and raconteur. Terrible, Terrible proves to be "Wonderful, Wonderful."
Collected Sounds
I thought it was gutsy to name a record, “Terrible Terrible”, but Katie Davis doesn’t have to worry about it. She’s that good. She’s got this great mournful vocal style that is just achingly beautiful. The songwriting is so heartbreaking that it actually sounds like her guitar is crying.
Online Rock
The title of Katie Davis’ EP surely isn’t indicative of this singer songwriter’s fine effort. The four songs here showcase the range of her beautifully seductive voice as well as the stylistic variety of her musical compositions. It’s not hard to see why she’s a popular attraction in her hometown of Seattle. The songs evoke a heartfelt melancholy that’s not only sobering, but alluring.

Four short songs. Enough to tease you, enough to break your heart, enough to make you want more, more, more of Katie Davis. Her bold honesty, sly humor and understated intellect shine through these sparkling tunes. The lush strings and delicate background vocals are gravy to the feast that is Terrible, Terrible. |
