Listen Up! - Kat Dahlia
Kat Dahlia isn’t as poppy as what I usually write about, and thus the reason why I felt it a good idea to cover her. Kat is a mix of a million different things: hip hop, raggae, pop, soul, R&B...if you can think of a type of music, she’s probably dabbled in it (or her next single will). The Miami girl is fairly new and inexperienced, having only signed a deal under Epic not too long ago. Apparently someone heard her, who passed it on, and then they passed it on (etc. etc.), and a bigwig A&R woman heard her and signed her on the spot, without ever actually meeting her in person. Off to a good start, eh? Her newest single “Crazy” was just released, and there’s an album coming soon. Both of these things are good, though we’re more just assuming with the album. Oh, and her name isn’t really Kat Dahlia by the way. The Kat part is real, but Dahlia: “At first, I was hesitant about it because I thought maybe it was too dark and harsh. But when I looked up the definition of a dahlia, I discovered that it’s a beautiful flower, one of a kind that’s very hard to grow and very hard to duplicate. I also like the duality of the hardness and softness of the name, which is why I feel it’s an accurate reflection of me as an artist.” |
