Katlow is familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. She is a cool rock-chick but without too many pretensions as to the fact that she may hold commercial appeal. Hailing from tropical Blackpool, it is clear that Katlow spent a considerable time indoors mastering the art of guitar playing, songwriting and singing. And for this we can be eternally grateful. New single "Gorgeous" is one of those tracks that you will hear one day on a commercial radio station, and wonder why you have never heard of the artist's name before. Uplifting and funky, "Gorgeous" highlights Katlow's strong accent and rock-leanings. "57 Manchester Road", with its softer tones and intelligent lyrics, suggests that there may be more to Katlow than simple rock-chick. The untitled follow up tacks on the EP are similarly catchy. Katlow appears to be going places (and I will give you a hint - it is not the beach in Blackpool). 7/10 |
