Katherine Fraser - 29 Steps
Classical, Folk
Hawaii, United States
Overall Impression: Gentle and mellow, “29 Steps” plays like a lullaby and the song varies with a combination of textures and can’t necessarily be classified in just one genre as it can appeal to a few. The main composition and melody of the song are grounded in the roots of folk music with classical elements blended throughout the song. The song begins with the sound of acoustic guitar chords and Fraser’s soft, melodic voice has a bit of an accent to it. Her voice along with the song has an almost Celtic feel to it. The song ends with a surprise as a chorus joins her at the end, with harmonies holding one long note before the song ends softly
Strongest Point(s): Vocals. Fraser experiments with the many layers of her voice. It has a bright and cheery tone, and along with the accent and articulation she uses throughout the song, makes for an interesting piece with meaning and character.
Target Audience Appeal: Fans of New age, folk, and Christian music would enjoy Fraser’s music. The overall tone and appeal of Fraser’s voice would make those fans appreciate what she has to offer.
Artist target suggestions: Imagine Dragons, Radiohead, Keane, Ed Sheeran, Oasis, Snow Patrol, The Killers, Sam Smith, Shawn Mendes, Ellie Goulding, Billie Eilish, James Blunt, Amy Kirkpatrick
