After spending the better part of the last year on the road, Kirsten Price is back in the recording studio working on her second offering due out in 2010
When her first album was self released in 2008, Industry Bible Billboard Magazine told us that she "should offer triple A radio a new star..". Even before it's release the ironically titled “Guts & Garbage" had proved it's mainstream muster by being featured in such heavyweight television shows as The L-Word and CSI. Her unique vocals have been chosen by Coke, Clinique, Lee Jeans, and Campbells for national and international advertising campaigns. She has toured extensively to promote her album playing 120 shows in 21 states, and served as the hand-picked opener for Wyclef Jean, G-Love (& special sauce) and, the long-missing-in-action Sly Stone.
But that’s all surface. Listening to her album, and talking to her, brings out all sorts of shades, nuances and quirks. Although the press has compared her sound to such wide ranging artists as Amy Winehouse, Macy Gray, Christina Aguilera, Lauren Hill and Joss Stone, she is not “the next" anything. She IS wickedly funny and she is very exacting and determined. Oddly, despite the increased interest in female-driven soul music (especially those artists with a UK flavor), Price admits she doesn’t see herself much in her contemporaries, or vice versa. “When I work, it’s like I’m living under a rock, she admits. It’s just me and my own stuff."
The singers teen memories from growing up in London involve her working with a number of a capella groups and choirs, “I always filled in for whoever was missing, the alto, the soprano.. When left to my own devices at home, I’d raid the whiskey cabinet, smoke some cigarettes, cue up some classic records Bach, Prince, Mozart, Motown, and bang away at the piano. It wasn’t the worst day to spend my evenings."
Eventually, music pulled Price out of London and toward New York City, where she arrived, jobless and near penniless, a week before Sept. 11, 2001. After some commercial work and generating a lot of industry buzz Price released her debut album in 2008 through her own independent label KPI, to critical acclaim. Both Raphael Saadiq and Danny Saber have production credits on the record, which is both diverse and cohesive, deftly moving between the exaggerated swagger of “Crazy Beautiful" through the trip-hop flavored jams of “5 Days Old" and “Possibilities", with plenty of soulful harmonies (the retro-leaning “Bring Me Back" and contemporary pop sheen (“Let Me Go") to round out the mix.
