A luscious array of jazz crooning over trip-hop beats and cabaret sensuality, Katharine Whalen drafts the script for a futuristic burlesque show that never stops. Dizzying and dazzling, Whalen dreams up masterpieces of exotica for decadent nightclubs with her eccentric and seductive charm. Picture the Squirrel Nut Zippers crossed with Portishead, then grab a martini for this mlange of the neurotic and erotic.
Review from Download.com
"On her startling new solo album, Dirty Little Secret, Sale sets Whalen's jazz croon against modern electronic effects and percolating rhythms, with impeccable popcraft. The title track sounds like something Burt Bacharach might have written for Dusty Springfield." - Raleigh News & Observer
"Startling...Impeccable pop craft."- David Menconi - News Observer
"Swaths of hip-hop and traces of pop-rock color the tracks, picking up the beats to a zestful frenzy that turns an otherwise ordinary experience into an extraordinary experience." - Alexander Rogers - Celebrity Cafe
"Lasciviously enticing vocals that meander over jazzily animated rhythms and surf-inspired guitar make for a delightful melange suitable for the most scandalous Parisian burlesque show. Sensual and inviting beyond words, Katharine Whalen (Kat) reminds me of bands like the Get Hustle that take an otherwise vibrant and jubilant music and turn its head to face the shadow side. The result is swing-noir par excellence. Yummy." - Scott's Top ten list at Download.com
"Anachronistic musical tracks that sound like a cross between Latin,sampled jazz, and the Motown Remixed series paired with Whalen's hot vox make for intriguing, and highly welcome, bedfellows." - Ryan Gillespie-Pop Matters
"The moment you press play be prepared to be knocked off your feet by Whalen's breathy vocals (imagine Macy Gray in a smokey jazz club). One moment, Whalen is deeply crooning. In the next, she's grabbing your libido with her sexy, lilting voice...an amazing disc you must not pass up." - Sean R. Grogan-Earvolution
