The following is a quick synopsis on how we came to love Kate Earl...With old age comes bad memories but we seem to remember Ms. Kate moved to Los Angeles 8-9 years ago from Chugiak, Alaska. We vaguely recall she was going to college down in Orange County at OCC (with Giant Drag's Annie Hardy) while pursuing music and maybe dabbling with a modeling career and it was around this time we caught her
Anjulie - Rain "What do I do with this fire inside of me?" Honestly I love the album cover this song is featured in and considered putting that as the picture for this track, but the colors in this, and the girl power-esque stance of Anjulie caught my eye so I chose this one instead. Maaaannnn so Canada knows how to breed a good bunch of artists wouldn't you say? Her R&B feel to this track is very easy listening and enjoyable. Friends, I have fallen in love with spotify, being able to send [...]
GQ put together a list of the sexiest women of rock and roll in hopes of getting their male readership to give the old skin flute a toot. The main problem with their list is most of the women reached their hotness plateau back in the 1970's and 80's and have gone the way of the DeLorean. What we need is some in the moment sexiness. Thank Jeebus for Google images. GRACE POTTER Why she's sexy: She looks like Sookie Stackhouse after she sold her soul to the devil for a [...]
If you were wondering where Kate Earl went after releasing her second album, we have the news for you. The Alaskan native gave birth to a baby boy recently and has been M.I.A. for a while. It's all good as we are sure the "Officer" singer will be back at the beats asap.

The better thing to come out of Alaska: Kate Earl. Earl makes pop music, but it's not all completely manufactured and auto-tuned. Personally, I think "Nobody" by Kate Earl was one of the catchiest, sexiest ("Nobody hikes up my skirt like you") songs of the year and yet she has been unable to garner the amount of popularity that marketing machine Katy Perry has been able to gain. "Nobody" is subtle, a bit dark with a pinch yearning... and an utterly alluring beat. Hopefully, Earl finds more of the commercial success she deserves in 2010! mp3: [...]

Welcome to another weekly installment of the Friday Mixtape. I really can't think of anything to say about this week's mix- just let it stand on its own. So, download it, listen to it, and leave some comments about it- if you like. Tracklisting: Felt - Protagonists Kate Earl - Melody Kings Of Convenience - Mrs Cold Other [...]
Filed under: New Music , Exclusive When there's an Alaskan in the room, it's pretty hard not to ask what they think of Sarah Palin. So, when rising singer Kate Earl stopped by the Spinner offices, we couldn't help but bring up the now ex-governor. "She really trashed my state!" the Anchorage native told us. Once listeners hear her soulful voice, jazzy instrumentals and catchy hooks, though, Earl's music is bound to help her repair the image of the 49th state. After she let us hear snippets from [...]
Alaska-to-L.A.'s Kate Earl appears to have left the sensitive singer/songwriter thing pretty much in the dust of late. But since most don't know her fine 2005 debut album Fate Is the Hunter , we guess we can understand why Earl's newer, slicker, beat-soaked sound - directed by manager Tommy Mottola ( aka , ex-Mr. Mariah Carey, ex-Sony Music Chief) - makes that play for the soft, comfort of the middle, particularly on first pop/soul single (and head- scratchingly gratuitous video) "Melody". We're hoping that tracks other than this confectionary fluff get some [...]
[Getting back into town today after a little road trip. Thanks to my pinch-bloggers the past few days; happy birthday to Stewart Copeland; and here's a full plate of music goodies from which to sample tonight:] My trip to the heartland yielded a good read or two, including this Riverfront Times interview with Son Volt's Jay Farrar on his band's new album "American Central Dust." The quintet plays the Wiltern tonight with the Cowboy Junkies . ... The "Also I Like to Rock" free concert [...]
This comes as a surprise because Kate Earl has been in my collection for a couple of years. In fact, Fate Is A Hunter spawned two hits in our heart - the Fiona Apple drab of "Someone To Love" and the DUI anthem "Officer." But, she might be pulling some stops from the Joss Stone autobiography by re-positioning herself as a new and/or fresh artist with Introducing Kate Earl. The Alaska native, and hopefully non-Sarah Palin friend, is all over iTunes with this EP. It's faster than her usual stuff from the debut album, but still [...]

I got an e-mail last week assuring me that I would love this singer/songwriter Kate Earl, mentioning names like Lily Allen, Feist and Cat Power (two of the three I really enjoy, and that ain't bad). When I went to her MySpace page to check her out, she reminded me of someone who splits the difference between Allen and Regina Spektor (two of my very favorite artists). read more
Kate Earl is set to release her new EP on the 9th of June 2009 on Universal Republic/Casablanca Music. She is a very thoughtful and hardworking artist located in LA, by the way of Alaska. Some draw comparisons to Lily Allen, but she likes to lean towards artists such as Cat Power and Feist. Watch "Melody" video : She has loads of video blogs that she titles "Life Of Kate" where you can get to know more about this adoarable Filipino [...]

Can anyone argue that getting told 'I love you' feels better than anything in the world? Maybe coming in a close second would be a warm embrace, but words, specifically those words, are magical. And songs with those words are even more magical. So here are some of L.A.'s best heartbreakers for those with or without a hand to hold... We love you. Lavender Diamond - "You Broke My Heart" (MP3)
