Katie Noonan,
lead singer of Aussie band George, will soon release her first solo
album 'Skin'. After the critical and commercial success of George's
'Polyserena' and the successful follow-up 'Unity', Katie has a solid
foundation from which to launch a career as an artist in her own
right.
On lead single 'Time to Begin', Katie transitions
seamlessly from the rock band and jazz-infused stylings of past work
into a crooning pop princess with her layered whispers entwining around
dancing flutes and stepping bass. The music's focal point, as always,
is the depth of Katie's voice. It's a voice that you don't easily
forget and on 'Time to Begin' it sounds vaguely reminiscent of Velvet
Rope-era Janet Jackson.

This next stage in Katie Noonan's career, as a sophisticated pop
singer, will be an intriguing one. The key of course is keeping Katie
Noonan and her once-in-a-lifetime voice front and centre. On the
strength of 'Time to Begin, expect 'Skin' to appear all over critic's
best lists for 2007. By Nick Christie via TCH Aust |
