sounds like:
a girl trying to squirm out of her 3-part, music MySpace genre description.
"After stumbling upon a cheap guitar for sale at Linens ’n Things, of all places, Silver Spring native Kayte Grace began her journey to becoming a singer/songwriter. Though just starting her music career, Grace carries herself like she’s been in the game for years. She realizes that there’s an ebb and flow in the music industry and that opportunities fade just as fast as they come.
Grace, 20, and her guitarist Kevin Plybon jumped into the recording studio shortly after Grace received close to 250,000 hits in two days on a YouTube video. She recognized it as a rare opportunity and decided to record something. She and Plybon laid down six songs in roughly seven hours and created their debut EP, Soaked You In. Though that seems like a hurried process, the EP sounds like a big-budget production.
Grace’s voice is more matured then her age might indicate—like Duffy’s, only Grace’s vibrato isn’t overbearing or obnoxious. She says the EP excavates love in all its forms.
Grace, a college student at Columbia University, had her share of good and bad interactions with men—which inspired her EP. “Uncomplicated” starts off lyrically in the manner of Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain,” with Grace singing, “First of all, this song’s not about you, it’s about someone else. And another thing, I’m thriving without you.” That track, along with “Thursday Night Love Song” and “Love Perfect,” can be streamed on Grace’s MySpace page.
Celebrate the release of Soaked You In with Grace and Plybon at Coffihouse in Merrifield on June 6. The show is free and starts at 8. In the meantime, learn more about Kayte Grace in our interview."
Here's what you've said about the "Soaked You In" EP:
"A MUST BUY: Amazing album! Meaningful acoustic rock at its best. Kayte is truly going to go places with a sound like this. A must-buy!"
"GREAT ALBUM: This album is catchy! I love these songs! My favorite is "Revolution," but really all of them are smart. A nice way to debut."
"A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO BE: Buy the 'Soaked You In' EP and you too will lock yourself up in the state prism of Kayte Grace's soul/heart/mind continuum and throw away the key. The angles of light projected therein are the angels eminating from the great central ... oh nevermind, just buy it. That's the key to happiness."
"REFRESHING: Singer-songwriter Kayte Grace's debut EP, Soaked You In, is a testament to the brilliant talent and hard work of this Maryland native. Standout tracks include the flirtatious and clever Thursday Night Love Song and the porch-swing, lemonade-sipping, summertime love-evocative title cut. If you ever get a chance to see Miss Grace live, jump on the opportunity. For all its strengths, this EP cannot quite capture the musicianship and captivating stage presence of this wonderfully refreshing artist."
kayte i love the new simple layout of your new re designed web site :) Very functional! And I had an amazing weekend! :) thank you. I hope you did as well!
Hello, My day was long and boring. It seemed to drag on and on and on. Did have pizza for lunch so that was a nice treat as I love pizza. Raining here again today - got wet coming home from work. Why does it always rain harder just when you are leaving work? At least it is the weekend now! Sara
My goodness, I have just been transported into an opiated trance by your bewitching voice and songs. It is the first time I have heard your songs and I feel like I have just heard folk music for the first time. It reminded me of why I fell in love with music in the first place..thank you sooo much Kayte. I am in London at the moment arranging my work visa to come back to New York. I was supposed to play the same acoustic gig night at Columbia earlier this year with my band The Homosexuals!!Please keep in touch and I will connect you with some of my people in New York. For the moment I need to just lay down and recover!!!.. or perhaps I will just drift off again to your voice from another place.. Blessings Bruno Wizard
