Album Notes

With hypnotic elegance and a voice beyond her years, Edmonson releases her debut studio album, “Take To the Sky”. The Austin-based artist borrows effortlessly from many musical styles to create a sound NPR calls, “memorable and contagious.” From a delicate bossa nova reading of The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven” to a backbeat-laden interpretation of Cole Porter’s “Just One of Those Things”, the album highlights the Great American Songbook, and also gives a nod to modern artists that have made an impact – both on Edmonson herself, and on the world’s musical landscape.

"Kat Edmonson may be a young jazz singer, but she is already a confident interpreter of song. Her debut album, "Take to the Sky," brims with originality." -The Boston Globe

"Ms. Edmonson, from Austin, Tex., is a promising young jazz singer with a kittenish voice and an amiably relaxed style..." -The New York Times
