On her new LP, The Wonder Of It All, Kate Kelly weaves together threads of airy jazz, piano-pop, and woozy folk into a tapestry that wraps around the listener like a summer breeze as Kelly’s voice waltzes through verdant fields of melody, all warmth and sunshine. However, as the listener immerses themselves in the lyricism, they find a record that was born of its Kelly's quest to find solace in a world of stormy emotional seas.
Kelly states, “It is worth noting that 2017, when this album was being written, was one of the most challenging years I’ve experienced thus far” says Kelly. Retreating into a child-like inner space to find solace from the pain she was feeling, Kelly turned to an exploration of nature and life’s innate beauty as her lyrical thesis. “Each “symbol” in the record (honey, the garden, the moon, etc.) is something in nature that helped me overcome my troubles. Each totem taught me a specific lesson; all because I immersed myself in ‘The Wonder Of It All’.” On September 14th, Kelly released one of the LP's tracks, "The Garden." Via a jazzy backdrop and airy harmonies, Kelly's vocals blossom over a subdued trumpet as she guides you to a place where you are guided by calm as your troubles freely float away. "I was wandering for a while Ringing my hands and asking for a sign A place to lay my troubles out to dry To rest my head and wipe my eyes I heard a whisper through the leaves Wisdom I could not see Telling me to come near" For more information visit HERE
