What a difference Kate makes...

Another thing that can put me into mode 3:

New Kate!

I can't tell the source, but we've actually heard 3 more new Kate
songs! Tonight we heard:

"Eat The Music"

(It is indeed salsa-ish, and I like it a lot. It will be great as
a single and I think the video will be lots of fun.)

"Rubberband Girl"

(This is the song that Prince is on, we're pretty sure. Think "Ken"
or "I'm Still Waiting" and know that this belongs on the same shelf.
It's very understandable why Sony wanted this song as the 1st single.
I bet it will be the 2nd. Kate fans with heart conditions had better 
get their nitroglycerine perscriptions re-filled.)

"And So Is Love"

(Beautiful!! Classic Kate ballad, except that it's bluesy and ballsy.
Eric Clapton's guitar is on this one. Patented Eric Clapton.)

Apparently, these 4 songs (the 4th is "Moments of Pleasure") were very
carefully chosen to be presented to Sony here in America. They're
definitely "commercial"-sounding, as commercial as Kate can sound.
Which is fine with me, Kate needs a hit. Well, she doesn't "need" a
hit, but it would be nice. Why not? Hits or not, I like them (and will
almost certainly come to love the ones I don't already) and I'm very
much looking forward to the rest of the album.

I know that lots of gaffains will *hate* these songs, but I'm willing
to be suprised :-/  :-)
