The rock singer known as Cathy
Richardson has released her latest solo single, “What I Am.” The
track is her most prominent solo release since 2006, an upbeat,
catchy, incredibly empowering rock single with which fans of many
music genres will identify and instantly love.
Richardson is perhaps best known for
her work as front woman for Jefferson Starship, in which role she
helped bring about the legendary band's first full-length record in
over a decade, “Jefferson's Tree of Liberty,” in 2008. The year
before saw Richardson singing lead for Janis Joplin's Big Brother and
the Holding Co. alongside Joplin's original band members on the
Summer of Love 40th Anniversary Tour.
“When Richardson pours her
magnificent, flexible voice into one of Joplin's signature numbers,”
says the San Francisco Chronicle, “the experience is more real than
any live recording ever captured.”
Grammy nominee and four-time DIY Music
Award winner Cathy Richardson has been called “the best female
voice in rock today.” She has published no fewer than seven
official releases with her universally loved group, the Cathy
Richardson Band, the earliest record going back to 1993's “Moon,
Not Banana.” Another project for which she sings, the Macrodots,
has been steadily adding to their loyal fan base since their 2010 LP,
“The Other Side.” The Macrodots' sophomore LP is expected to drop
in coming months, also.
Michael Allison of the Global Muse
calls Cathy Richardson “one of the most interesting and
inspirational singer/songwriters that I've heard. This music is
simply amazing and as off the wall and unpredictable as anything I
could imagine.”
Richardson's new “What I Am” single
has been turning the heads of audiophiles in every music genre since
its appearance on 2 November worldwide. For this capital release
Richardson signed to the popular Australian independent label, Chance
MUSIC, which is rapidly gaining prominence at home and around the
world.
Commenting on the themes of her new
“What I Am” track, Richardson writes, “Like anyone, I struggle
with insecurities, that push and pull of confidence and self doubt.
Whether onstage or in daily life, for me, it's really about not being
afraid to shine my brightest and own my awesomeness.”
The idea isn't about
self-aggrandizement, however. Richardson's goal for her music is to
make life warmer for everyone, everywhere.
“When you step into your greatness,”
she says, “you elevate the vibration of the world around you. You
literally make the world a better place. That's the message I would
most like to instill in my kids, and when I hear them singing along
to every word – and they don't even know what some of the words
mean, yet – it brings a tear to my eye. In my dreams, people across
the world are singing 'What I Am' as a love song to themselves.”
