来自丹麦哥本哈根的女歌手CALLmeKAT,其声线可以用赤裸裸的性感来形容。
CALLmeKAT是斯堪的纳维亚音乐人、作曲家和歌手Katrine Ottosen的艺名。Kat是女主唱的名字Katrine Ottosen的简写,而CALLmeKAT 就是她和键盘、伴唱、笔记本电脑等创作工具的组合。她在丹麦乡村的森林里长大,也是在那里,她发现自己总被一架破钢琴深深吸引着。后来,她对老式模拟键盘持续的爱使它们不断闪耀于她的音乐中,充满质朴感,而她的天赋让她完美的将电子与有机元素融合在一起。
2008年CALLmeKAT在Pixiebooth厂牌下发布广受好评的EP《I’m In A Polaroid Where Are You?》和《Fall Down》。知名度大涨的她随后收到了各种高评价。
有这样的话在媒体间广泛传播着:采访杂志里说她是“赢得了低保真的流行,彻头彻尾的布鲁斯”;还有NPR新闻里对她的褒奖“卓越的声音,精细的音乐,非常迷人”;而美国著名的尼龙杂志也评论她为“从满是包装外壳的流行明星中脱颖而出的哥本哈根的音乐家”。
现今CALLmeKAT也进入了一个新篇章:她已完成令人期待的第二张专辑《Where The River Turns Black》,加上鼓手兼制作人Joe Magistro(Prophet Omega)和著名的贝斯手Sara Lee (Gang Of Four, B 52’s),还有一些非常有名的客串朋友们:Erika Spring (Au Revoir Simone) 和 Helgi Jonsson (Sigur Ros). 而这张专辑是在纽约州的美丽的卡茨基尔山录制的,并于2012年3月和4月在欧洲大陆正式发行。
Known for her alternative pop CALLmeKAT is the internationally acclaimed moniker of Scandinavian musician, composer and singer Katrine Ottosen. She grew up in a forest in the Danish countryside, where she would always find herself secretly drawn towards an old beat up piano.

In 2008 CALLmeKAT released the critically acclaimed ‘I’m In A Polaroid Where Are You?’ (EP) and ‘Fall Down’, through her own Pixiebooth label. The word in the press also spread internationally: “Winning lo-fi pop. Downright bluesy” Interview Magazine “Outstanding voice, delicate music…Just mesmerizing” NPR/All Songs Considered “This Copenhagen musician manages to stand out from the pop star pack.” Nylon Magazine Now CALLmeKAT is embarking on a new chapter for her music: She has finalized the anticipated sophomore album titled ‘Where The River Turns Black’, collaborating with drummer and producer Joe Magistro (Prophet Omega) and notable bass player Sara Lee (Gang Of Four, B 52’s), with guest appearances by pals from the road; Erika Spring (Au Revoir Simone) and Helgi Jonsson (Sigur Ros). The album is recorded in the beautiful Catskill Mountains, in the state of New York and released throughout Continental Europe in March and April 2012.
