Her American Idol audition won the hearts and minds of many. It is a crown she wears proudly, showcasing her rare vocal gifts and first-rate songwriting that earned her this title. She is pop music’s best-kept secret, solidifying herself as an artist for any era, with her charming beauty equally matched by her show-stopping vocals. Just one listen is all it takes, and before you know it, you’re following her every move with great adulation—I’ve lived it and experienced it! Katie reemerges from her 10-week West Coast sabbatical with a fine-tuned grasp of her craft, aiming to mesmerize the global music world with her talent—a reminder of her artistry, in case anyone has forgotten.
“Symptoms” is really the kind of track that you just want to listen to over and over. There is a way it grows on a listener such that with every successive listen, it actually feels better, more enchanting, and becomes instantly accessible as you find yourself singing along like it’s a mantra!
This performance showcases the purity, range, power, and mellow quality of Katie’s voice, truly golden. I mean, she has the kind of soft, gentle yet powerful, and incredibly expressive voice that graciously melds with the upbeat pop instrumentation like they were meant for each other.
The crystal-clear and haunting voice blends graciously well with the catchy, upbeat, and infectious beat, and the unforgettable chorus gets stuck in a listener’s head even after the track is no more.
The accompanying music video is all good vibes. I like her energy and dancing; she exudes such positive energy and a free spirit that leaves a listener feeling better and smiling sheepishly…talk about magnetic charms.
“Symptoms” of getting addicted to this track include playing it multiple times and still feeling the need to play. The cure rests solely on playing as many times as possible and spreading the sonic virus to all your friends!
