5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing new talent, January 22, 2004

Katy Rose is an amazing new talent to hit the music scene. Her lyrics are fresh, sarcastic, and intersting. Her vocals are complicated- one song she sounds light and airy, like a child, the next song, she's screaming in anger. She's bringing someone different to pop right now- she's not trying to be anything she's not. She doesn't claim to be "hardcore" or "punk" or a "badgirl". She's just herself, and that's so refreshing. "Overdrive" is a great example of her more sarastic lyrics and "Lemon" is a poetic, dark ballad that shows a slightly more mature side to her. And the special interview shows how smart and genuine this young girl is. Best of all, you get a free stream of the full album "Because I Can", in stores Jan. 27th. The album is unbelievable! The clips don't do it justice. Check out her website at www.katyrose.net to read her journal entries and read her bio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Overdrive, January 10, 2004

By

This review is from: Overdrive (Audio CD)

For two months now, I have impatiently been waiting to hear and see the song/video for Katy Rose's first single "Overdrive." Watching television on Thursday, I caught her on MTV and I have to say, it was well worth waiting for. The music video is so fresh and different from anything else out there now, although the song is similar to those of Avril Lavigne and Michelle Branch. Other than that, I would never compare Katy Rose to Avril. Katy is the real deal here, people. "Overdrive" has a few lyrics that are nonsense ("I need to take a shower when I look at you/You sting and hurt like a bad tattoo...") but it has it's strong points in lyrics like "They all come here to find a scene/But end up girls on methradine/Naked on a TV screen." The chorus is catchy, it sure got stuck in my head, and it has been since I heard it. I understand how people can compare her to Avril Lavigne, but Katy Rose is her own artist and she's more mature attitude-wise, lyrically, and musically than Avril has been. This girl is gonna blow up...pick up her album January 27th.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Love for Katy is On Overdrive, April 19, 2005

Katy Rose's Overdrive is one of the best pop anthems of the year. It combines sassy California beach pop with punk rock, and to make it even better, has good vocals. Lemon is also a good track, and is nearly as listenable as Overdrive. So I say, opt for Katy instead of wannabe's like Avril and Hilary.
