Accessible? yes; commercial? not really.

I agree that these are wonderful songs, but I don't consider them
'mainstream', as this implies that they are comparable with the songs
you hear in the pop charts, which, IMHO, they are not. KaTe's songs
have a different style (or rather different styles - there is no one 
style to describe her songs) to virtually all popular music today.
