<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#1A1A1A">Not long ago a remarkable young singer<b> </b>called<b>
</b>Kate Earl<b> </b>was living in tiny Chugiak, Alaska, nursing the dream to lead a musician's life in between shifts at her parent’s small-town gas station. That dream became a reality when Kate moved to Los Angeles, where her talent was promptly recognized
and led to a record deal; soon she would make a couple of albums that earned warm words from her peers, admiring critical plaudits, and even a few placements on network TV.</span><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">
</span><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#3F0040">Yet the music was not quite doing for Kate what she needed it to - too much outside direction perhaps, or an undue pressure to fulfill a prescribed role. The girl from Chugiak, it
turned out, had gotten lost in someone else's vision.</span><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>

honesty with this album. It's me coming out and telling my stories. This is where I came from."<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</i>lived-in Laurel Canyon vibe came together this year with Kate and Brett Dennen (her principal collaborator on <i>Stronger</i>) recording 17 songs in a whirlwind six-day session. In addition to the album’s single, other standouts on the album include the
title track, “Stronger,” "Loyalty," a track filled with raw emotion, and the irresistible "I Don't Want to Be Alone.”</span><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
