Kathleen Edwards (born July 11, 1978 in Ottawa, Ontario) is a Canadian singer-songwriter. According to the The A Soft Place To Land Songfacts her father is Leonard Edwards, a former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. Kathleen spent portions of her teenage years in Korea and Switzerland. Her blend of country, folk and pop music made her a favourite of music critics, and a rising star on radio in 2003 with her debut album, Failer, made popular by her hit singles “Six O’Clock News” and “Hockey Skates” Her style of music is sometimes placed in the music genre “alt-country”.
In 1999, Edwards recorded a six-song EP entitled Building 55 and pressed 500 copies. By the fall of 2000, she was on tour across Canada managing her own gigs. In 2001 she wrote seven of the ten songs for her 2003 debut release Failer.
Edwards married musician and producer Colin Cripps in 2004. They later divorced.
In 2005, Edwards released Back to Me, which also garnered considerable critical acclaim, and led to the release of the singles “Back to Me” and “In State”. The track “Summerlong” also featured on the soundtrack of the movie Elizabethtown starring Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst.
In 2006, she was nominated for Juno Awards for Songwriter of the Year and Adult Alternative Album of the Year for Back to Me.
On March 4, 2008, her new CD, Asking for Flowers, arrived to excellent reviews.
Her fourth album, Voyageur, was released on January 17, 2012.

I assume you have actually listened to more than just the FOUR songs that you have scrobbled FadingMind? If not then you probably don't have grounds to judge. Although it is just your opinion. Asking For Flowers is one of the most remarkable albums I've heard in recent years. There is a lot of 'boring' music about at the moment, Kathleen Edwards is not one of those artists.

This woman is the musical equivalent of a white noise machine and a handful of sedatives. So mind-numbingly boring, it could only really be played over the speakers at Starbucks.

I'm enjoying the new record, but it is too over-produced. I could do without the Sheryl Crow like tracks, too. Just seems to be they are trying to tame the pure awesome rawness of her vocals, too. I get where they are trying to go on this disc, and I appreciate Kat's effort to expand her musical world. Like I said, some good tracks, some.. not so much. Maybe I expected too much.
