Sinking Into Something Beautiful With Kat Edwards' Sunk

Sinking Into Something Beautiful With Kat Edwards' Sunk

Heralding from Hobart's open mics, there's a raw honest beauty to Kat Edwards' songwriting that saw her taken from busking at Salamenca Markets to sharing a stage with Julien Baker in just over a year of performing that makes unquestionable sense. Edwards is an artist that needs to be heard, honest and heartbreaking we dive into the debut release, Sunk, from a truly modern troubadour. 

There's an effortless wonderment in Kat Edwards' that lulls you into a warming sense of security early on in Sunk; from opening track One the defining quality of Edwards music shines. A voice unique purely to herself, powerful and potent in it's dreamlike delivery. In exactly one minute, One, takes hold of you and beckons you to listen in. 

Followed immediately by Edwards' latest single All That I Am a heartbreaking emotional flex that displays a serious depth in both delivery and songwriting, setting a bar that never beckons to break throughout the release. Punctuated by a devastating ballad of doubt in Holes and her nothing short of incredible debut single Stranger in My Room before closing off with a spiraling storm cloud of a title track, Sunk is a remarkable debut release from one of this country's most promising songwriters. 

Heartbreakingly honest, stunning and simple in it's delivery, Sunk, will stay with you long after your first listen. Keep the tissues close.
