New EP Release – Love Came Down

01/12/2017 By admin

Album Cover for 'Love Came Down' - Katie de Veau
 A Christmas offering from one of Australia’s great female voices Katie de Veau.

This time of year is perhaps the one time when the world turns up the volume on music that is steeped in faith and tradition, so, if you want some great new versions of old classics you can’t go wrong with this EP.

Katie has been putting out great albums for years now, but here we find her sublime vocals beautifully, delicately and tastefully accompanied by a handful of top shelf musicians.  Christmas Carols like ‘O Come All ye faithful’ are served up with a harmonious blend of acoustic guitars that aren’t lost in the mix even when the full band kicks in.

Silent Night is given a ‘piano driven ballad’ treatment enhanced by some beautiful cello /string arrangements. Whilst Mary’s Boy child will be a perfect sing along track live with it’s groovy percussion kicking in on the chorus.

O Holy Night is perfectly handled with majestic pads floating behind the vocals and just so you don’t feel like you are buying ‘the same old’ Christmas music. A de Veau original, ‘Love came Down’ rounds up a great Yule Tide collection for playing as the family gather this year. 

The real ‘Christmas Star’ here though is Katie’s voice.  The producer has wisely allowed her vocal ability to sit in the drivers seat on each track, and even though the purity of the vocal is obvious, there is just enough gravel and rawness left in place to deliver a convincing heartfelt performance.

Only one gripe….ten songs would have been better.

New Album Release – Brand New Day

08/04/2016 By admin

Image for Katie de Veau - Brand New Day Cover

‘Brand New Day’ is inspired by the hope found in new beginnings. With themes of family, love, faith, and heartache, Katie draws inspiration from real life and weaves it into a musical journey.

Produced by Craig Ross, ‘Brand New Day’ is Katie de Veau’s fourth studio album, released April 8 2016.

This album is an exciting, powerful and dynamic creation.

The listener is captivated from the very beginning as they experience compelling contrast between simple reflective acoustic beauty and moving rock on their journey through the 10 tracks of the album.

Recorded at Watershed Recording Studios Nashville Tennessee, as well as additional recordings in Sydney and on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, this album is the result of stunning collaboration with seasoned musicians.

Guitarist Chris Rodriguez (Keith Urban, Kelly Clarkson, Amy Grant) instrumentalist Wanda Vick (Taylor Swift, Keith and Kristen Getty) and LA guitarist Bob Somma all leave their musical mark throughout.

Reflective ballads as well as inspirational rock all find their place in this musical journey. Truly food for the soul.

If you’ve loved Katie’s music this new album will excite you – if you’re new to her music this album will strengthen you. Deep songs and powerful stories from a life journey of faith and love.”

“As a producer one of the first things I check for in listening to a CD is the production standard and whether I will want to listen to the album again and again.

That is partly in the recording and post production – but it is also whether genre appropriate for each song and whether the instrumentation supports the songs message.
Next are the songs themselves – the lyric, their flow. the content and message.I am pleased to say that ‘Brand New Day’, Katie de Veau’s latest album, ticks the boxes on all these points.

From the reflective and easy listening ballads to the rocking uplifting songs, this is an album that adds to the Christian and mainstream music scape. This album will be on my playlist rotation.

Congratulations to Katie, the musicians and all the production team”

“If you’ve loved Katie’s music this new album will excite you – if you’re new to her music this album will strengthen you. Deep songs and powerful stories from a life journey of faith and love.”

Lead Vocal Producer ‘Brand New Day’


“Katie De Veau’s new album ‘Brand New Day’ is a flavourful mix of well crafted country pop tunes.

Her clear vocals soar with a delicate authority which easily arrests the heart.

This is an album with deep themes expressed in a way that brings peace and rest.

Crafted from a life of experience both as a musician and as a person who has experienced much, the deep themes of love, family and faith are expressed in a way that is a joy to listen to.”

“Katie de Veau’s ‘Brand New Day’ album is such a refreshing, inspiring collection of songs.

Produced by Australia’s own Craig Ross, the well arranged songs and brilliant
musicianship form a strong platform for Katie’s unique vocal tones… I admire Katie for her boldness to step out and keep believing in the power of authentic, original songs in a world where so much of what we hear out there lacks substance and truth.

Thanks Katie for singing of the hope we have for a Brand New Day.”

Steve Grace
Award winning Singer/Songwriter

“Contrary to the modern music industry’s philosophy, watching an artist develop is a long-term project and, with ‘Brand New Day’, Katie has shown that good things come to those who wait.

The writing is clear and connected, the music organic and catchy, the vocals honest and assuring.

There’s nothing simplistic about this release. It’s a grown-up commentary about her world and what matters to her.

‘Brand New Day’ is a well-balanced collection that presents an unequivocal message of thanks for what has gone before and excitement for what is yet to be.”

Steve Henderson
Australian Institute of Music

A worthwhile investment

28/09/2015 By admin

Image for a Music and Worship Consultancy

Over the last 12 months Katie de Veau has been working closely with Erina Baptist Church, NSW, assisting the church in identifying and developing their approach to Worship and Music. Their Pastor, Joel Small left this short testimonial of Katie’s work:

Engage with Katie and your approach to worship will not remain the same.

It is a thoroughly worthwhile investment. Given how prominent corporate worship expressed through music and singing is when God’s people gather, having a gifted, skilled and experienced consultant with a pastoral heart is a priceless gift for your church.

The Sound of Silence

10/06/2013 By admin

It’s 3am. It is still. Other than the distant rumbling of a car, it is silent. Silence can be frightening. It can be refreshing. It can be life giving. It can even be embarrassing.

For an artist, silence can be a dear friend. Friends can help gain perspective, provide insight, help us to laugh at ourselves, bring contrast, and be a catalyst for creative surges.

At the moment, I will happily embrace the sound of silence in my busy life whenever I can. Hello friend.
Blessings,
Katie
