Here are some recent extracts from reviews of our newly released album Belonging:

"Belonging exudes a charming eccentricity ... chant-like vocal arrangements that range from haunting and evocative, to just plain weird! ... You will be seduced... I warn you!" - read the full review on Folking.com.

"It's an album that seeps inside you, taking root and blossoming into a spiritual soundtrack for the soul ... Together they create an intoxicating brew, rich in layered and sinously subtle arrangements hewn equally from the musical traditions of West Africa, Irish backwaters, the mississipi and hayricks of England." - read the full review on NetRhythms.

Here are extracts from some lovely reviews of our debut album Renewal:

"'Breaking through to reveal those splendid wings for flight' reads a line from the title track - and what better way to describe this, Kate Doubleday's debut CD, her emerging song writing talents and a voice that simply takes flight and soars.
"Kate's music is so original as to defy categorisation - "world music" that stretches from the heart of England to South Africa, taking in countries such as Ireland and Bulgaria on the way, might begin to describe it." - Folk Magazine 2003

"One of the first things worth saying about both this artist and recording is that Doubleday isn't your run of the mill singer-songwriter, never mind some of the negative and vague connotations of the term itself, none of which can be said to apply to Doubleday, whilst she brings the clearly diverse influences to bear in her recording she moulds them into her own style." - Folk and Roots 2003

"Whether standing alone or weaving through intricate multi-tracked harmonies as with the layered backing of Rise and Fall, her reedy, soaring voice has the taste of summer rain, beautifully set here among imaginative arrangements that vein Sid Peacock's acoustic guitar with Ruth Angell's violin, Trevor Lines's assorted basses, percussion courtesy Rocky Amoo and Mark Lockett, and her own thumb piano. At times (as with Needs And Wants) sounding not unlike a one woman Poozies, her songs of loss and renewal weave an evocative cool spell." - Netrhythms.co.uk & Brumbeat by Mike Davies
