The lead single, also named Replaced, draws inspiration from artists such as Ellie Goulding and Bon Iver. Replaced’s ambient blend of acoustic guitars and synths highlights the frailty of Kate’s vocal. Explaining the meaning behind the song, Kate says, “On the day it was written, a friend had told me about something my ex-boyfriend had said about me, and I remember being completely bewildered by it as it sounded nothing like him.” This realisation led to Kate creating a song that will reach the hearts of anyone who has seen someone change for the worse.
Kate is a worldwide success on Youtube: she has over 132,000 subscribers to her channel, and has received over 23,000,000 views – all since November 2007. In addition to this, the single Replaced has recently received airplay on Radio 2, with Janice Long airing it on her midweek show, as well recently been added to Q radio playlist.
In an unusual move, hard-copies of a 7 track CD titled Replaced will be available exclusively from Caffè Nero stores across the country. The CD is accompanied by a book which gives listeners insight into Kate’s emergence onto the scene and her rise in popularity. The release of the CD will be accompanied by Café Nero tour , which includes: 34 stores between the 26th September and 20th October and promises to be an intimate affair for her fans. The album will also be available digitally via iTunes.
