Kate Klim "Up and Down and Up Again"
Produced by Crit Harmon
"Up and down and up again" is Kate Klims debut, but her resume attests to her already established poularity-she was named a Mountain Stage New Song and Mid Atlantic Song contest winner and earned a slot as an opener for Shawn Colvin.
Her Thoughtful lyrics have universal appeal, "There's a great divide across your bed/you hold tight to the right, I hold tight to the left," the Boston based artist sings in "I Choose Me" . Aided by producer Crit Harmon, Klim has looked into her soul and unearthed a gem with "Up and Down". She explores the higs and lows of human emotions, and takes yu on an emotinal roller coaster that's worth the ride again and again.
Performing Songwriter
"The fact that the album is beautifully produced and soulfully performed by Ms. Klim is worth notingKates piano in particular sounds like its singing its own vocal linebut its essentially beside the point. What is more important is the fact that these 11 songs certainly represent something to the artist, and they most definitely represent something to the people who hear them. Kates easy-going combination of modern folk and soulful pop has been turning heads for the past several years. Phrases like new face, rising star, and even the title Best of Boston have been thrown around since Kate decided to pour her heart out on record instead of film.
Up and Down and Up Again contains the heartfelt, infectious melodies reminiscent of Kates predecessors, combined with the artists own story. Her voice, vulnerable but strong in its conviction, combines with the soft melodies created by her spare backing band. It culminates into a primal, earnest cry for the basic resilience of the human spirit. And its catchier than anything youre liable to hear anywhere else. Kate Klim has found the success she has strived for since childhood, and now only in her mid-20s, she still has plenty more to offer."
