Book Now Katie released her third album What Love Is in October 2025; an intimate collection of ten brand-new songs. It reached #12 in the Official Folk Albums Chart upon release. Recorded in London?s Urchin Studios and featuring prominent players Giacomo Smith (clarinet), Max Clilverd (pedal steel), Tom Mason (double bass) and Matt Ingram (drums, synth). What Love Is evokes the spirit of Joni Mitchell?s finest later works, always honouring without emulating.Lyrically mature and at times pastoral; the album is melodically sophisticated and unflinchingly honest. She moves effortlessly from wide open jazz-tinged soundscapes, influenced by Pharoah Sanders and John Abercrombie, through to the folk baroque fingerpicking style that her fans admire her for.Her singing is powerful yet warm, true and pristine in delivery. The musicianship throughout the record feels liberated by Katie?s innovation and confidence, and the result is a master-class of inspired and beautiful-sounding craftmanship. ?Her articulate picking, with suggestions of folk and jazz, frames intelligently written songs and is the backbone to her music.?
