Kate Bollinger, the Virginia-born, LA-based artist, is set to make a significant impact with her debut album, Songs From A Thousand Frames Of Mind, releasing on September 27, 2024. This highly anticipated album showcases Bollinger’s unique blend of introspective lyrics and genre-blurring soundscapes, reflecting her journey as an artist who has been deeply rooted in music since her early years. Drawing on her background and collaborations with artists like Matthew E. White, the album promises to be a kaleidoscope of influences and emotions.
The album’s release is marked by the unveiling of two standout singles, “Lonely” and “Sweet Devil,” both of which capture the breadth of Bollinger’s musical range. “Lonely” offers a deeply personal, stripped-back piano ballad that evokes the timeless quality of classic pop, reminiscent of The Beatles’ more intimate moments. On the flip side, “Sweet Devil” channels a smoky jazz influence, with a haunting quality that echoes the stylings of artists like Feist. These tracks are also available on a limited edition 7″ vinyl, bundled with the album, making them a special treat for dedicated fans.
Bollinger’s musical journey began at a young age, influenced by her mother, a music therapist, and her musician brothers. Her early years saw her experimenting with home recordings, which eventually led to the self-release of her first EP, Key West, in 2017. By 2019, Bollinger had captured attention with her EP I Don’t Wanna Lose, recorded in just one day with minimal production. The track “Candy” from this EP even caught the ear of Kanye West, inspiring a song on his album Donda. Following this, Bollinger continued to hone her craft, releasing A Word Becomes a Sound in 2020 and Look at It in the Light in 2022 under Ghostly International.
The release of Songs From A Thousand Frames Of Mind represents a culmination of Bollinger’s growth as an artist, blending her early DIY spirit with more refined, expansive production. Her work has already garnered attention from notable outlets like The Line of Best Fit and NPR’s World Cafe, setting the stage for this album to further solidify her place in the music world. With influences ranging from jazz to indie pop, Bollinger’s debut is poised to resonate with a wide audience, offering a deeply immersive listening experience that reflects her journey and artistic evolution.
In Songs From A Thousand Frames Of Mind, Bollinger invites listeners into a world that is both familiar and refreshingly new, filled with the kind of emotional depth and sonic richness that marks the arrival of a significant new voice in contemporary music.
