Here's To Hoping
Kaleb I. Rudy | California, USA | 07/15/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Katy Rose's debut "Because I Can" has been highly overlooked but is brilliant nonetheless in its artistic, poetic display of both despondency and hope. The entire album glows with promise for Katy Rose's future and the artistic genius it encompasses on its own as a single record. The beautiful depth and introspection Katy lets us in on is riveting and relatable as the music and lyrics jut straight from her heart while not appearing pretentious.



Katy starts the album off with the enjoyable and radio-ready (though naturally a little hollow) singles "Overdrive" and "I Like", and follows with the affecting, burdened pining of "Watching the Rain" and "Enchanted".



Next up is the angst-ridden "Catch My Fall", which most will find they have to acquire a taste for. The subsequent "Snowflakes" is probably the dip in the album, too slow for its own good as it comes across as one long yarn.



The best is yet to come, however, and Katy quickly redeems herself with "Glow", a dejected yet hopeful song that contains some of the most poetic and reflective lyrics of the album, and is my personal favorite. She follows this with the equally hopeful and even more poetic "Teaching Myself To Dream" and the angry but delightfully self-sardonic "Vacation".



After this comes Katy at her most impressionable with the deep yearning of "Original Skin", featuring a beautiful mix of acoustic guitar, bongo, and violin. Katy further displays her incredible talent at writing in the poignant and entirely arresting "Lemon", and ends the album with the despondent, pensively hopeful "Because I Can".



When all is said and done, Katy Rose has presented us with a truly striking and stirring debut. The entire album resonates with emotional intensity and artistry. Here's to hoping we will be seeing more of this incredibly talented artist in the near future.
