Julie Kathryn releases Ep

Singer-songwriter Julie Kathryn has made an indelible impression on the music community with her sensual Americana noir. In 2011, she graced Music Connection Magazine's esteemed annual "Hot 100 Live Unsigned Artists & Bands" list.Rockethub.com noted: "Julie Kathryn is one of the best emerging artists in the current NYC scene. Every one of her performances mesmerizes and inspires." Sometime in Long Island City blog has said: "Julie sings with an understated intimate style and an exquisite sense of timing that makes you feel that only you and she are in the room." She's been favorably compared to Leonard Cohen, Natalie Merchant, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and Norah Jones.

Live, her sultry stage persona reflects the slowburn beauty of her music.

The recently released Broken Love EP is an elegant 4-song collection that traverses all intersections of American music: folk, jazz, blues, and soul with a dreamy sprawl that's both earthy and otherworldly. The tragic romance in her writing, and the eerie beauty of her compositions, make her EP boldly vulnerable. "My music is emotionally raw," Julie Kathrynsays. "The title 'Broken Love' is something a lot of people can relate to. The track is powerfully essential, with each instrument playing with gorgeous restraint. Subtle production flourishes like stately strings, tastefully glitchy percussion loops, and celestial lap steel melodies lend the track, and the EP, a wonderfully transcendent moodiness.
