"you're always a sore loser, never let me win..."
Listening to and watching the Official Video for 'Maybe You Were Right' by Nottingham (UK) based singer-songwriter Katie Keddie and it made me think about being alone and how it might sometimes feel lonely but doesn't compare to the hell of feeling alone while you are standing merely a few feet away from your partner. That is the worst kind of alone.
Amid a cool shuffling drum beat, snaking bass lines and sliding guitar shapes, Katie's vocal countenance (offset by acoustic guitars strum and floating synths) feels moody and beautifully earthy and ethereal at the same time. With enchanting keys there is a soul pop vibe to the indie rock movements. There is for me an unmistakable blending of genres that feels so artistically freewheeling so when the track shifts to other worldly bending synths along side a long guitar build up, as bass and drums do their own dance, it feels amazing. An upcoming album is on the way.

Blessed with a head-turning voice and a songwriting talent that develops and matures with every track, to say that Katie Keddie is one to watch for 2022 would be an understatement.
The Nottingham-based singer-songwriter first caught local attention in 2019, turning heads with her first single ‘Eighteen’ – a wistful piece tinged with nostalgia. Since then she has been quietly working behind the scenes recording as well as playing local shows and festivals, enlisting the aid of some of the nations finest musicians in the process.
Set for release later in 2022, ‘Comfort and Despair’ will be the first single from her upcoming debut album – this is one you’re not going to want to miss.
