Kate comments “I know I’ve taken my time on this and that has lead to some impatience on a number of fronts but I think that the final product reflects the time taken to choose material, musicians, recording styles and the general impression I want to make with it. I have been very humbled by the comments and support I have received since I started sending the album out. I can honestly say that I have produced an album that I believe reflects the direction I want to travel with my music and I’m thrilled it’s been so warmly welcomed.”
