FYI: And this is nothing but rumor. Kate is no longer with EMI/Manhatten, but this isn't really new. There are currently two rumors as to who she will sign with. For a brief time, she was with CBS just because. I am not sure if this was public release information or not, but here is how I found out about her connection (however brief) with cbs: Our campus radio station was playing a string of KT songs when someone called in and said "How can you play Kate after the announcement you made last night?" We asked: "What announcement?" -- Apparently, someone either on our radio station or something that sounds like it, announced that Kate had DIED! She had succumbed to some form of cancer (presumably lung) and had indeed passed on. I freaked out. A friend and myself called CBS in New York and LA...the LA office didn't know anything about her - wasnt even sure if she was with them. New York admitted that she was spending lots of time talking to their office, and was expected to sign the finals soon, but she was not dead. So anyway...she's fine, apparently. BUT IT ISNT OVER! The latest rumor is that she is about to sign with Sire records. Apparently, her new album is over half completed, and is theoretically due out this Spring (yet I heard someone mention that it was not till Fall...). Anyway, she can't release till she signs....and publicizes... She also did some sort of a single with someone...I am not sure who, and I dont know if I've ever heard of the person..but it is recent, and was just released. As a side note, does anyone out there have the amazing patience to enter kate's music onto a macintosh for midi? I have sheet music for kate, and while Im sure that there is some sort of copyright infringement, I would still be intersted in seeing Kate Transposed...if you are interested, or you know have already done it, please let me know.
