                      Katie Knipp - Been a fan of Katies for quite some time now and have always admired her steadfast tenacity, her daring inventiveness, and songwriting prowess . Her genre-defying artistry and electrifying stage presence  are framed by her powerhouse vocals . You have to admire an artist whose chameleon-like artistry leaves you in awe,never knowing what to expect, boundaries pushed,and any expectations kicked out the door. Katie is utterless fearless,and her independence and extraordinary creative output - four-time Billboard Blues charting artist - is applauded by her dedicated global fan base. 

                   

                    "Dance Me" - I saw the released singles and said to myself,"What the heck is this all about?"Like so many others I was drawn in,a bit perplexed, but certainly curious, and thoroughly mesmerized.Katie continues to reinvent herself while staying true to the authenticity that continues to earn her a world-wide following. The new album is Katie's first deep dive into electronica,shedding her award-winning work in the blues world for an entirely new sonic wardrobe. "Dance Me" , the latest album,features remixes of eight of the ten songs off of the critically acclaimed "Me",released in 2024. From hypnotic,bass-driven anthems to lush atmospheric sound worlds, House,Drum and Bass,neo-Soul,Electro-Funk,Big Beat Techno,Rock Reggae,Metal and Trip-Hop. 

                       

                      No,this isn't your typical "blues album" by any means, but a bold and daring tumble into Alice's rabbit hole,where we embrace curiosity,challenge the status quo,and dream big. Katies latest project reflects so much of Alice's journey, "Be(ing) brave to ask,"Why not". Knowing that "The only limit to what you can do is what you believe you can't." Being inventive enough,having the confidence to realize that "Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality." Katie certainly knows that "Curiosity is the key to unlocking possibility". Listening to "Dance Me" quite a few times,cranked up enjoyably, I completely understand that "The greatest discoveries happen when you're unafraid to explore".

                   

                      "Dance Me" is another exciting chapter in the wondrous and ever-changing musical career that is the essence of the unpredictable Katie Knipp. For those brave enough to take the bottle marked "Drink Me" wonders await. If you want something bold,daring,and off the beaten path then this album is most definitely for you. "Dance Me' is a riveting siren song, a kaleidoscope delivering a mesmerizing,dynamic and ever-changing auditory experience. Katie Knipp delivers music that cradles your mind,body,and spirit. A truly interesting musical experiment that is quirky and offbeat, a project to marvel at and enjoy.
