Are you on Facebook? Of course you are! Why don't you add the iLike application (if you haven't already) and then post one of my tunes to your profile as a favourite--or maybe dedicate one to a pal! Or, considering how sad and bitter a lot of my songs are, dedicate it to an ex!

Here I am: http://apps.facebook.com/ilike/artist/Kaya+Fraser

Woohoo! High fives to all! I won a FACTOR grant! This means I can safely say I'll be recording that CD I keep talking about. Producer and engineer are notified and on board--I'll start as soon as I get myself back from the lovely West Coast. Get ready, world!

Love,

Tonight I'm heading down to Willyboy Recordings to lay down some primo oohs and ahhs, singing backup on Jason Hakin's forthcoming album (the lovely Alex Krakus will be joining me). For those of you who don't know him, Jason's a very fine singer-songwriter and instrumentalist from around these parts, and from what I've heard of his record so far, it's gonna be something. It's been a solid year in the works, lovingly planned and executed by Jason and Will Haas, engineer and musical consultant extraodinaire. Think McCartney, Radiohead, Coldplay--all that delish Brit pop with its aurally addictive qualities. Check out Jason's website and MySpace:

...and buy the record when it's out this fall. You won't regret it.

My lovely friends Alex Krakus and Karla Rexer are also in the studio with me here.

There are two new originals posted on my MySpace, thanks to a friend's generosity with some home studio equipment. Someday they might be on The Album. Go check 'em out!
