Some may call it “the new sound of Urban Blues” but to define Urban Blues a body of work like Blues Is The New Cool, the new album from London-based band quintet Kat & Co. is a big understatement. READ THE FULL REVIEW:

blues-in-britainBLUES IN BRITAIN Review:

I pick this, wow, its Kool for Kats. It’s a pressure cooker of steamy blues, with a jazz drenched embryo. To get in the mood, 6.00am and I run through their material on Soundcloud, and I’m already sold.

RADIO FLASH Torino Review:

Nell’ultimo album il gruppo prosegue la sua indagine volta a dimostrare che il blues è la nuova frontiera del cool. Anzi, è cool e basta: grazie a pochi ritocchi e a un’interpretazione ispirata e aggiornata, il genere è pronto per l’ennesimo revival.

RUDOLFS MUSIC Review:

Met het album ‘ Blues Is The New Cool ‘ komt Kat & Co na ruim drie jaar met haar tweede album. En om maar gelijk met de deur in huis te vallen de band uit Londen rondom zangeres Kathleen Pearson en Francesco Accurso hebben weer een prima album gemaakt. Wat mij betreft is het muzikale resultaat het wachten meer dan waard geweest.
