notes

Angelic and ethereal, with a voice as pure as crystal, Andrea Klas is an artist who leaves her mark on every surface surrounding her. Her ability to break down the human experience into its simplest form... the rawest emotion, sets her words apart. Almost inexplicably, Andrea is capable of distilling feelings of loss and heartache, serenity and joy into their most basic elements. Yet, as delicate and wistful as she sounds, the diminutive songwriter is a powerhouse: An undeniable force behind her wrathlike voice stains every song on her forthcoming debut album.

Andrea grew up in the middle-class city of Edmonton in northern Alberta, Canada. Her childhood was idyllic on the outside, full of acting and singing classes and competitive figure skating. However Andrea had a tough time reconciling the fact that she was predestined for a successful career in business, when music was all she ever dreamed of doing. Not wanting to disappoint, she received her university education in economics while quenching her thirst for performing doing everything from musical theatre to teaching aerobics four times a week, to hosting a local karaoke night, all the while continuing the train with a vocal coach. Barely out of her teens, Andrea settled into an office job working for her older sister's business.

However, Andrea soon realized that she was really "shitty with numbers, but great with people," so she found the courage to make the leap into the music industry, without the support of those closest to her. But the result of that faith is a richly melodic, seductive and accessible album so full of grace and honesty that it has drawn comparison to artists such as Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Portishead, and Shirley Manson of Garbage.

  • Something in the Water
    author: Collected Sounds - A Guide to Women in Music

    I've always said that there must be something in Canadian water that produces such great music. Well Andrea Klas has obviously been drinking the same water that has given us Sarah McLachlan and a host of other Sarahs (Slean, Harmer, etc) and other-named musicians from that country. "Orion" is a lovely CD. It's filled with ethereal pop music that Canada is so prolific with. Andrea's voice is lovely, soaring and perfect for this type of music. "Second Chance" is so radio-friendly that upon first listen I swore I'd heard it before. If you like the aforementioned Tara M, Sarah M, Chantel Kreviazuk, and the like I think Andrea Klas is right up your alley.
