She does... I pinched... hehum... Borrowed the album off a friend
yesterday and I've listened to it a couple of times and there is a
distinct KaTeness to her voice, especially on the first track of side 2
("China", if I recall).

I haven't worked the words out yet (it took me a couple of months to
retune my ears so I could hear KaTe) but the bits I can hear sound
interesting lyrically.

(I seem to be selectively deaf, for some reason...)
