At the heart of the contemporary Celtic revival dwells soul of Kate Price. A talented multi instrumentalist with a rich and beautiful voice, Kate continues to defy the very genre her early work helped define. Her music is as much a journey for her as for the listener. Her repertoire blends cross cultural influences with her lyrical voice and her dynamic yet intimate sensibility. Noting this, one reviewer summed her up as “one part faery, one part gypsy”, and called her performance style “warm, elegant and intimate”. The music industry, in it’s attempt to classify and categorize, has frequently compared Kate to Loreena McKennit, however this comparison does not really serve either of these talented women. While there are certainly similarities, the astute listener will quickly see that Kate’s music is quite distinctly her own vision. Deep Hearts Core allowed Kate a fuller expression of her fire. With compositions that navigated between the Balkans, the British lsles, and Latin flavors, this recording is a passionate, playful and intimate portrait of Kate’s internal world. Co-Produced by Teja Bell, Deep Hearts Core exploded into the music scene and garnished international acclaim and distribution in 28 countries. It was from Deep Hearts Core that CBS chose a track to score a 1998 Olympic coverage documentary in Nagana Japan.
