Kaya to be featured in The Toronto Star’s Anti-Hit List!
Hey! Guess what? I'm going to be part of this week's Anti-Hit List, "a critical list of the best new music outside the mainstream," which is compiled by John Sakamoto of The Toronto Star. "Tremor and Slip" will be in the podcast as of this Saturday, and will also appear in the print version of the list in Saturday's Star.
High five!

Got the record? Love it? SPREAD THE WORD!
Hey everyone,
So, when one is starting out as an indie musician in this modern workaday world, the best (and in some cases only) way to get one's name on the radar of the music scene is very simple: people talking. So, forgive me if this sounds ickily self-promoting, but if you have got the CD and you like it (or even if you don't have it yet but you still like what you've heard), please take whatever occasion you can to talk it up with your friends. Post something about it on your blog! Add me via iLike on your Facebook! All these little actions mean A LOT to a starting-out artist, and if you do any of them, please accept my humble and warmest thanks.
Long live grass-roots marketing!
Love,
Kaya

The first review!

Check it out: With this being a rather mediocre year for music, I'm very pleased to report that some of this year's best recordings have come out of London. And you can add this new release from Kaya Fraser to that growing list. When I first heard Tremor and Slip I literally stopped working and checked to see who it was, it's that ear-catching. A great voice with great songs, with performance and production that is first rate. Fraser's voice is warm and engaging, displaying the sexiness of Carlene Carter with a bit of the world weariness of Lucinda Williams in her delivery. The songs are killer with "The Thing Is," "Tremor and Slip," "The Only Exception" and "Home Remedy" being my faves. But they are all winners. Fraser is an exciting new voice that deserves a listen. Performance: A+ Production: A+ --Dave Clarke, SCENE Magazine |
The New Puppy
She came home. I listened. I liked.
I'm happy with it. It's a very strange feeling... The songs sound oddly unfamiliar, even though I know them inside-out and backwards. I hope that they cohere and that people will hear their own stories in them. That's what it's all about...
So, that's it. It goes off to the manufacturer on Monday and two weeks later, I'll have a big pile of shiny, shrink-wrapped delights sitting in my apartment--not for long, I hope!
Love,
K.
The EP Sessions: Day Eight
Mixing: done!
So Will's going to master it today and drop off a CD for me to listen to later on. I feel like a kid waiting for her new puppy to come home.
Eeeeeeeee!
