These are just some of the things people had to say about Katrina Parker and her 2005 EP "Only Dreaming." Six songs recorded in Los Angeles, CA and co-produced by composer Shaun Drew, "Only Dreaming" was Katrina’s first foray into recording and releasing her own music, a simple and understated set of songs that garnered praise from both critics and fans alike.
Katrina is currently at work recording a new EP. Due out in early 2009, it promises to be an eclectic mix of music running the gamut from sweeping pop ballads to gothic gypsy love songs.
Katrina performs regularly at venues in the L.A. and Southern CA area, connecting with her audience on a personal level with songs about love, loss, and life. See Katrinaparker.com for a full calendar of events.

Lives up to its title. Hypnotic and dreamy!
author: Derek Horne
This album is a cathartic emotional release as each song builds to a passionate climax. Katrina has the same expressive quality in her voice that Chris Martin does. I'm dying to hear her do some Coldplay covers next.
Her flowing piano-playing compliments her soaring, dynamic voice and weaves a hypnotic spell that is as dreamy as the title of the album suggests.

Passionate songs, with a phenomenal voice to sing them. If you like slow (mostly sad) songs, BUY THIS CD! I am so glad I did!

Only Dreaming is a beautiful and hypnotic EP that will touch your heart. Katrina's voice is reminiscent of the old but so fresh and soulful at the same. A permanent fixture in my CD rotation. I can not go a day with hear this CD! A must have for any Tori Amos, Fiona Apple or Sarah McLachlan fan. I highly recommend it!
