LEVITATION

9. (SubatomicUK) - Since 1999, Cathy has seen continued success co-writing with Steve Miller. Steve’s sensitive production on ‘Speck Of Gold’, was the perfect cradle for Cathy’s sweet ethereal delivery in lyric & vocal, transmitting ‘hope’ for a generation in turmoil after experiencing 9/11. A further two tracks carefully crafted into release, ‘Shine’ and ‘Let it Go’ from 2009’s ‘Electrosensitive’ album, offer a more rounded presentation of this simply stunning musical collaboration!
