Kat Parsons to Release "Talk to Me" 4/3
First of Three EPs to Be Released This Year; Includes “Fall For It,” Produced by Mike Flynn (Epic) and Warren Huart
LOS ANGELES, CA: LA based musician Kat Parsons will release her highly anticipated new EP, Talk To Me, on April 3, 2012. With a writing style and piano based pop singer/songwriter sound akin to a modern Carole King, Parsons’ will release the title track as the first single on Feb 28th. Later this year, she will also release two follow up EPs: OH! and It Matters to Me.
The leading track from Talk to Me, “Fall For It,” was produced by Mike Flynn (The Fray, Sara Bareilles) and Warren Huart (James Blunt, Howie Day), after Parsons beat over 1,400 artists to win the OurStage.com contest “Get your song produced by head of A&R at Epic Records“ in March 2010. The track is a pop anthem for all those who have been chased, and as soon as captured, left alone.
Talk To Me – funded in part by her legions of over 8,000 dedicated fans who contributed $19,560 — puts Parsons’ music and beautiful voice at the forefront, revealing her as tough, yet vulnerable; knowing yet naïve; expecting the best in people without being blind to their faults. The tracks “TV Radio” and “Differently” explore these ideas: the dissonance between reality and fantasy; between expectation and disappointment; between “should be” and “is.” Parsons gets sucked into the black hole of rumination in the song “Thinking Through.”
Parsons has opened for or shared bills with heavy hitters like Billy Corgan, Jim White, Spin Doctors, and Sara Bareilles. And she’s performed across the U.S., Japan, Europe, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia. She has appeared on the cover of Music Connection magazine, won the Acoustic Live competition (beating out more than 600 musicians), and her sophomore album No Will Power was runner-up for Album of the Year at the 2005 DIY Music Festival. She’s been covered in Billboard, Boston Globe, Washington Post (“a fiery spirit…confident, dynamic songs…”), The Onion, and more.
Kat Parsons will release Talk To Me on April 3rd. Look for the subsequent releases of OH!, followed by It Matters to Me, later this year.
