Her appearance will never do her justice... one with such a sweet name, a small blonde girl, 17 years old... who resembles Avril Lavigne so incredibly, what could she possibly do? She's one of those typical young girls with nothing new to offer, trying the current trend, the teen/rock/pop music.
But you are gravely mistaken, and I strongly recommend buying her first and only album, Because I Can, because she reveals her other cards, firstly her significant family background of musicians: her father Kim Bullard was a keyboardist for CSN&Y, Poco, Grateful Dead in the '70s and her mother was a backup singer in various now-disbanded groups.
And these roots can be felt in her slightly gritty, varied, and decisive rock, her voice is not clean at all, sometimes it's thrown out there, but always spontaneous, and her words are sometimes sharp blades, sung with grit, with strength and supported by engaging, sometimes delirious arrangements, and other times soft and decadent.
There are no songs to discard, because each has its own meaning, its own reason to exist, for example the beautiful title track, sweetly sung with confused words says "...the glass is cold when I touch my face, but I can taste my salty tears" or in "Snowflakes", the only song where the piano is present, she shows herself to be more fragile, totally contrasting with the energetic "I Like," "Overdrive," and above all "Vacation," two brief minutes of hysterical and uncontrolled screams.
Additionally, it's worth noting that in many songs the girl not only sings and writes most of the lyrics, but she also plays the drums. Here the potential to become an established rocker is all there, truly all there, and I invite you to listen to her if you don't believe it, and I swear BECAUSE SHE CAN!
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Overdrive (02:53)
Out of bed at the crack of noon
Blare the music and have a swoon
I can't stop thinking of your face
La la lee la lee loo lace
I'm six feet under the Bhodi tree
With my crap new-age philosophy
Diamonds where there once were stars
I'm sitting in Jayne Mansfield�s car
Yeah yeah I'm independence
Yeah yeah I'm borderline
Yeah yeah I'm California
My minds all screwed and upside down
But my hearts on overdrive
Yeah my hearts on overdrive
I need to take a shower when I look at you
You sting and hurt like a bad tattoo
I wish you'd change my point of view
I cruise the canyon to get some breeze
With hidden treasures up my sleeve
I like the light and hate the heat
But I'll lick the blood right off your street
Yeah yeah I'm cherry cola
Yeah yeah I'm Candy-eyed
Yeah yeah I'm California
My minds all screwed and upside down
But my hearts on overdrive
They all come here to find a scene
But end up girls on Methedrine
Naked on a TV screen
The dreams that fall beneath my feet
Make my footsteps feel so sweet
But your kisses are my fait accompli
Yeah yeah I'm independance
Yeah yeah I'm borderline
Yeah yeah I'm California
My minds all screwed and upside down
But my hearts on overdrive
Yeah my hearts on overdrive
09 Vacation (02:21)
Oh I don't need an education,
Just a microphone's intoxication,
And I can't deal with concentration,
Give me tounges and stimulation,
Who are you to know my story,
Who are you to read my book,
I don't think you know how crazy,
People say I am,
"You're running in the deep end, Katy, Why don't you give a damn?",
I've lost all sense of navigation,
But got my Cali-fornication,
Don't give me words of hard degration,
I only accept infatuations,
I'm a fragile kind of glass,
I won't wear your stupid mask,
I don't think you know how crazy,
People say I am,
"Your running in the deep end, Katy, Why don't you give a damn?",
I still hold hands with my creation,
But cross my eyes at it's elation,
And if I miss my graduation,
I'll have one fucking long vacation.
11 Lemon (04:42)
They've clipped my wings again
tore them apart and then
left me
No use to fly away to
my yesterday
of freedom
My eyes died back that day
seeing the hurt I may have done
Beat me instead of them
pain is my only zen
of fun
I'll go where secrets are sold
where roses unfold
I'll sleep as time goes by
So hurting here is where I belong dreaming a song
blood on my hands to stay strong
The flowers in the graveyard are all gone I don't belong
there is no right to heal the wrong
soup's on hot feelin' like a do or die
I can't throw up don't think i even want to try
You still can't make me cry
you've pinned this butterfly
down
My fire's burning out
kill my flame without
a frown
And starving hurts the soul
when you're hungry for
some love
So if I close my eyes
I can really fly
above and..
I'll go where secrets are sold
where roses unfold
I'll sleep as time goes by
So hurting here is where I belong dreaming a song
blood on my hands to stay strong
the flowers in the graveyard are all gone I don't belong
there is no right to heal the wrong
soup's on hot feelin' like a do or die
I can't throw up don't think I even want to
tryyy- tryyyy- tryyyyyy
(chorus again)
