Biography

Kate Earl is an American singer-songwriter based out of London. She began playing piano at four, sang in her church choir, and began playing the guitar when she was seventeen. The young singer nursed the dream to lead a musician's life in between shifts at her parent’s small-town gas station in Chugiak, Alaska. That dream became a reality when Earl moved to Los Angeles in 2004, where her talent was promptly recognized and led to a record deal with The Record Collection whose music was distributed by Warner Bros. Records. Her debut album, Fate Is the Hunter, was released in May 2005. Earl officially changed her name to Kate Earl before the release of her second album. Earl left Record Collection in 2007 and signed with Universal Republic the following year. A self-titled album, Kate Earl, was released as a digital download on August 18, 2009 and in physical copy on November 3, 2009. In 2012, Earl signed with Downtown Records. Her next album, Stronger, was released on November 20, 2012, and was written and recorded with Brett Dennen, Blake Mills, and other well-respected Los Angeles musicians. The first single from the album, "One Woman Army", was released on September 18, 2012. Earl joined the Goo Goo Dolls and Matchbox Twenty as the opening act during their Summer 2013 US and Canadian tour. In 2014, Earl decided to go independent and self produce her next album, Ransom. In 2015 Earl submitted two songs to the BBC Introducing programme, "Good Witch" and "We Promised", and was chosen, as one of six from 200,000 entries, to appear on the BBC Introducing Stage at that year’s Hyde Park festival. She was soon signed to BMG Records in the UK, and changed direction into "proper jazz", original, old-school, authentic jazz, drawing on her childhood love of Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, and Big Band swing. The first single taken from her 2017 album Tongue Tied is "Tongue Tied", which was nominated BBC Radio 2's Record of the Week for the week starting Saturday February 25, 2017. The uptempo, syncopated, electro swing "Tongue Tied" utilizes a sample from "Disco Bob" by Professor Bobo and Bosko Slim. "Disco Bob" was used as the soundtrack of TV ads for Homebase.

LYRICS

people keep saying that i'm a little short on mercy
say my god forsaken soul will buy me things
fame and fortune pearly gates and silver wings
yeah i picked out curtains for my place on golden street
people been calling me sinner
been calling me wayward saint
caught a snag along the path that they call straight
looked down and i saw that i had lost my faith
turned my back on promises i'd never break

these days i'm just trying to find out what love means
find my place within this crazy scene
these days i'm just trying to find out what love means
find my place within this dream

people been saying i'm going to hell if i don't change
but i sold my soul to god when i was barely eight
all of jacob's ladders couldn't rescue me
all because i bought that house on golden street

built a bridge between our hearts but it was weak
little did i know it wouldn't hold my weight
now i'm falling fast into a great ravine
wonder when i land if i'll be on my feet

these days i'm just trying to find out what love means
find my place within this crazy scene
these days i'm just trying to find out what love means
find my place within this dream

can you spare me father
a moment of your time
why’d you hide the answers
in, in between the lines
life has many colors
more than black and white
why do i have questions
if you’re always right

these days i'm just trying to find out what love means
find my place within this crazy scene
these days i'm just trying to find out what love means
find my place within this dream
