Canadian Songstress Captivates Our Emotions with Her Powerful Album
THE ARTIST
Canadian musician Kate Fenner has been described by The New York Times as having a “lusty, alternative, Joni Mitchell-ish sound.” She was an essential singer and songwriter for the Canadian alternative rock band Bourbon Tabernacle Choir in the 80s and 90s. When its run came to an end, Fenner joined Chris Brown on stage in a duo setting. Fenner released her first solo album, “Horses and Burning Cars” followed by “Magnet” which was produced by her former Bourbon bandmate Chris Brown. Since then, Kate has been mesmerizing audiences around the world with her unique vocal style filled with emotion like no other artist out there today.
THE MUSIC
With her raw energy and uniquely powerful voice that is both haunting and fragile, Fenner has created a work of art beyond simplistic definitions, worthy of deep examination. Drawing from a tradition of unrivaled artists like Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Patti Smith, Kate Fenner renders serious music dealing with intensely human themes that can be deeply meaningful for those who are facing loss, death or the relentless struggle in between. Her latest album is an impressive body of work featuring elements from different musical pasts – from girl group harmonies to nineties drum loops – yet manages to hold its own as something unique altogether.
From the reflective energy of "Ghost Moon" to the cool yet sultry blues vibes of "Son of a Gun", each song presents an intricate story and unique emotion. Funky guitar riffs, drums that bring an upbeat energetic feel while still keeping listeners grounded, smooth bass lines and background vocals – all of these elements come together perfectly to paint a vivid picture in their minds and make it impossible for you not to get lost in Fenner's music and lyrics. Additionally, the long notes she holds throughout convey even deeper emotions as each lyric slowly reveals itself with layer upon layer of irresistible melodies.
Listening to her songs is being embraced by a comforting blanket of sound – something we could certainly use more of in our current times. Whether you're looking for thoughtful contemplation or just want to be carried away from it all with captivating music – Kate Fenner's Dead Reckoning will give you exactly what you need.
