Search - Katie Whitis :: I've Gotta Be Free

Katie's first recorded original, Fragile Heart, speaks of heartache and warns a new beau to be gentle with the tender emotions of love. Because of the rave reviews it received, Katie was inspired to continue to compose her own tunes. "Almost all of my song ideas come to me with a melody in mind this is when I team up with my producer to put the rhythms that I feel in my heart into a language that we can all enjoy." It is a lot of fun to watch it all come together that is from when you have the song idea to it actually being mixed and mastered to it's final product. I remember being on my way to one of my favorite restaurants and just coming off the exit I had this idea. "My constant thoughts lead me to believe that I am a deep thinker, I was thinking to my self about the decisions that we make. What if we make a decision that at the time we believe is right and then 5-10 years down the road that we then review the decision we made and deem it incorrect. We want to go back but that bridge has already been burned and we cannot do it over the way we wished we could have." Hence the birth of "When You Can't Go Back". I was very happy with how the instrumentation came out in this song because to me it just cries and that is the effect I wanted. "She Wants To Be Wanted" Goes With out saying. Most women who hear this song say yes! That's exactly it! I want to be wanted! I need to be needed! It is great to get that kind of feed back. I feel that when you've written something that people can relate to and that tells a story then you've made a difference and that is very important to me. I have countless others that I have written and composed that much like people each have a story behind them. This album has a definite blues feel to it, however I do plan on releasing a Country and a Gospel Album in the near future I look forward to many more albums to come with a great positive effect on the human spirit.
