About Me |
|
Katy Kiefer is back after a three year Hiatus with her best effort yet. Naked on Vesta Records. Her sophomore CD kicks off with Caught Up In Your Gravity which impacted Country/Americana radio in early January. . Like her debut CD Kaleidoscope, the revealing collection is a well written library of songs featuring collaborations from Music Row’s elite tunesmiths; Buck Moore , Jan Buckingham, Derryl Perry , JR Brown and Natalie Howard who get “naked” so to speak, with Kiefer under the gifted production of Jim Lightman ( India Arie, Lee AnnWomack ).The title Naked is more than just a metaphor for the singer. After an extensive two year radio tour promoting Kaleidoscope nationally, she began stock piling an arsenal of songs featuring collaborations, testing new material at writer’s nights and enjoying her son, family and friends. Suddenly she became plagued with back problems. Two surgeries later, she was diagnosed with scoliosis and facets disease. In pain, but obsessed with finishing her next album, Kiefer would lie down on co-writer’s floors with her guitar to write. After months of grueling physical therapy she returned to the studio with new material and a new approach to life and recording. “Being sick and in pain was a humbling experience and it yielded a more organic, raw, heart and soul, product,” explains Kiefer who insisted there be no correcting or auto tuning on her vocals. She felt confident after years of study with famed vocal coach Renee Grant Williams that didn’t need or want it. “I’m in a place where I no longer worry about making everyone in the planet happy, but rather here I am – love me or leave me. I’m more comfortable in my own skin and that translates into my music.” On Caught Up in Your Gravity, Kiefer found inspiration and a lesson on accountability in a relationship. “It brought out intense feeling of passion and happiness in me, yet at the same time frustration from the other person not sharing the same joy, love and outlook on life. It taught me that we must always help ourselves to plenty of happiness and not rely on others for it or try to be the source of happiness for someone else.” Already spinning on 100+ Americana and Country radio stations it is obvious that the passion and inspiration is not lost on others. Katy’s heartfelt collection has not only crossed over genres but also crossing over continents with airplay throughout Europe and in Australia where she was nominated “Best International Artist” in the MusicOz Awards.
