New song alert - I can't wait for you to hear this new version of Alberta Cross's 'Lucy Rider', featuring me as guest vocalist. It's now streaming and you can listen to it here.
I met Petter Stakee and Terry Wolfers from Alberta Cross in the early 2000s, and have been a fan of the band for so long - I definitely played the Thief & The Heartbreaker to death during my 20s!
So when Petter asked me to guest on the new version of 'Lucy Rider', it was a big YES.
Having written with Petter on a number of tracks for my last two records, we definitely have a lot of overlap in terms of the music we love and want to make.
Petter's take: "I met Katie in my early 20s. She was one of the first champions of the band even before we got a record deal. It felt full circle to meet again after my years away living in New York City and to write together. We've always had a creative connection so it was important to me to have her involved with this project.
'Lucy Rider' is a song I wrote about a beautiful girl I used to know in East London. She had so much going for her but she kept getting more and more involved with bad company and all that goes with that. It's about how she kept pushing away all the positives she had going for her and replaced it with the bad things. Katie's stunning voice felt perfect for this one."
