Katie Cole - New Single and Video Out Now

Acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter Katie Cole has just released her new single ‘I Can’t Wait’ through Beverly Martel Music. The track will be the leadoff single from her much-anticipated album, titled Lay It All Down, which is set for release in February 2013. The album features a guest appearance by songwriting and screen legend Kris Kristofferson.

Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, and now residing in Los Angeles, Cole relocated to the United States to begin developing her sound with acclaimed record producer Howard Willing (Counting Crows, Ok Go, Smashing Pumpkins, Sheryl Crow). The result of this musical partnership was the "Lost Inside a Moment EP," which unexpectedly received two BBC Radio 2 playlist spots. Shortly after this release, Cole received multiple awards from organizations such as ASCAP and OurStage, and landed an illustrious Movado watches ad campaign that ran nationally in 2011.

Cole describes the new single and album direction as "a little bit more organic and rootsy" than her previous work. "It's somewhere between American Country and British Pop," she mentions. "I drew influences equally from icons like Tom Petty and Fleetwood Mac, along with newer artists like Brandi Carlile and KT Tunstall."

"I Can't Wait" is no stranger to the airwaves - it is already receiving several spot plays on BBC Radio 2 and has been added to the New to Q/Q Radio playlist. Writer Alan Harrison of No Depression magazine has praised the new single, stating, "Katie is on the cusp of becoming the 'next big thing' in Nu-Country."

Producer Howard Willing enlisted the talents of A-level musicians to perform on the record, including 2 members of John Mayer's band Aaron Sterling (Natasha Bedingfield) and Sean Hurley (Colbie Caillat) along with Roger Manning Jr. (Jellyfish);Tim Pierce (Faith Hill); Lyle Workman (Beck); and Zac Rae (Jason Mraz).

Although still in the early stages of her career, Cole has toured in multiple cities throughout the US, as well as in London, UK. Over the years, she has shared the stage with many big names including Anna Nalick, Jackson Browne, and Glen Campbell. In addition, Cole was the only female vocalist to appear on Campbell's final 2011 studio release, "Ghost On The Canvas".

Katie Cole releases New Single I Can’t Wait - 22:10:12

Meet Katie Cole originally from Melbourne , Australia , now based in Los Angeles , USA . Does she dominate with ballads? No. Does she compose songs on the piano? Rarely. What she does do then? She rocks and enjoys a loud guitar, a strong melodic hook and an up tempo pop song. Growing up on a strict diet of rock music from her Mum, she was fed Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin in one ear and Maria Callas from her Vocally classically trained, Father. After a quick detour in music to Smashing Pumpkins, Aretha Franklin and Eurythmics, Katie describes her own style of music as having flavors of Sheryl Crow, KT Tunstall and Carolina Liar.

After writing songs for established artists like Gloria Gaynor, Katie spent a good handful of years touring in Australia where she released an EP locally. Acclaimed Record Producer Howard Willing (Smashing Pumpkins, Counting Crows, Liz Phair, Sheryl Crow, Ok Go) found her music on the web and reached out to Katie to discuss working together. She jumped a few planes back and forth before realising that stateside was where she wanted to be, whether in the industry buzz of LA or the cultural spur of Nashville . With 2 suitcases, a computer and her guitar, Katie upped and re-located to Cali for good.

Since then, she has won awards both stateside and down under for song-writing. Aside from playing in Nashville and New York , Katie performs in Los Angeles regularly sharing the stage with names like Jackson Browne and Glen Campbell. She also sang vocals on Campbell ’s last record Ghost On The Canvas including "It's Your amazing Grace". Katie’s last EP ‘Lost Inside A Moment’ had 2 songs play listed on BBC Radio 2 and also featured on Aled Jones’s Good Morning Sunday.
The upcoming album Lay It All Down from which this single is taken features vocals by living legend, songwriting and screen icon Kris Kristofferson. It also contains sterling musicians like 2 members of John Mayer's band Aaron Sterling (drums on records for Natasha Bedingfield, Glen Campbell) and Sean Hurley (bass on records for John Mayer, Colbie Caillat), Roger Manning Jr (Jellyfish, Beck), Tim Pierce (Rascal Flatts, Faith Hill) and many more.
