Katya Redpath Has Plenty to Say on Long-Awaited Debut Album TIME CHANGES EVERYTHING
For Katya Redpath, a debut album was never about releasing music for the sake of it. It was about waiting until she had something distinctive to say. And that's where TIME CHANGES EVERYTHING comes into the equation, a nine-track offering that sees the singer/songwriter stitching together an eclectic blend of folk, blues, Americana, and roots music. Bringing together a lifetime of music, travel, and family history, Katya has delivered a deeply personal, intimate, and authentic record.
Now, rather than tackle all nine tracks individually, I'd like to focus on four that offer a glimpse into the scope of Katya's artistry, beginning with Hot Mess. Bursting with energy, rebellion, and humour, the lively piece of music turns life's complications into a spirited, relatable, and refreshingly honest anthem.
Put it in a Song is one of the most beautiful and reflective songs I've heard all year, with the artist exploring music's enduring ability to help us process and survive difficult times. Ain't that the truth!
The Phoenix, a tune that draws on ancient myth and poetry to analyse destruction and resilience, is another stunning, rich composition that has taken up residence in my heart.
WAKE UP, the album's opener, is the final track I'd like to introduce you to. But here's the catch: I'm going to let the song speak for itself 😚
