about

Katie Whyte blends old-world songwriting techniques with modern-day anxieties, all couched in interesting arrangements, which manage to compliment the vocal melodies without swamping them. 

The term 'songstress' is often used pejoratively to describe any female singer-songwriter who writes songs high on musical whimsy and low on insight. Joni Mitchell, for example, is not a 'songstress' and likewise, Katie Whyte shouldn't have this lazy term affixed to her name - at least as long as it suggests one who strums wistfully while saying very little. 

Whyte writes songs of lost love, of no longer feeling sure-footed, of feeling ill at ease. Hitting the studio recently with ARIA-award winning producer Robert F Cranny (Sarah Blasko) to record her debut EP, the results of these sessions cover a lot of ground musically while hanging in the same sonic universe.

The track Summer Raincheck may already be familiar to readers of whip-smart pop-culture magazine Yen, as it features on the CD affixed to this month’s issue. A breezy, melancholic pop tune with shades of Bic Runga in the measured delivery and arrangement, it should sit very well on radio this summer - as will the other four tracks!
