Album as a whole hadn’t clicked with me as much as I’d hoped, but “Lilacs” and “Fire” are hands down my favourite songs Katie’s ever written.
Yeah Cerulean Salt and American Weekend are still my favorites of hers, but the singles off this album are especially great. Those other records are 10/10, this is like an 8/10 for me.
I honestly don’t think American Weekend is very good, although I think it showed her potential. Cerulean Salt, though, is a stunner.
They’re all great records imo, as are the PS Elliott songs. I think any record could easily be a favorite.
Livestream on February 11 through a new service called Bandsintown Plus. You can get a 7 day free trial. Here’s the whole list of artists so far:
I recorded her conversation with Rolling Stone Magazine from this afternoon. She says she is working on new music (!!!) and other things she cannot discuss yet. EDIT: Skip to 0:11 as the first few seconds prior to the interview starting were muted on their end for some reason.
This might be her best live performance on YouTube. Confident, tuneful, determined, conversational. Whoever worked with them on the visuals and sound (Jimmy Kimmel's team?) crushed it, and her lilac-colored dress really pops against the wildflowers and band.
anyone know if this is gonna be something i can pay to watch later? am unable to check it out this weekend but would love to next week
