A New Word for Over EP is the debut release from Kaitlyn Anderson. Besides Kaitlyn on lead vocals the rest of her band is, Eric Kambestad (drums), and Guillermo Guerrero (guitar).
Kaitlyn list many musical influences including, Kelly Clarkson, Mandy Moore, Ashlee Simpson, Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavigne, Pink, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood, and Paramore.
I would go back a few years further though and compare her singing voice to that of, Pat Benatar or the Wilson sisters from the band Heart, with her slightly demure yet still rocking vocals.
The style of the 6 tracks found on this EP is mostly rock with a splash of pop.
At first it might be Kaitlyn’s attractive looks that grab your attention but once the vocals start it will be her talent that keeps it.
Kaitlyn has a spunky rock sound that when mixed with the other musicians driving drumbeats and many guitar solos found in the songs create really nice music.
The songs lyrics deal a lot with relationship issues and difficult decisions that everyone must make from time-to-time in their life. You’ll also find though that Kaitlyn is a person that believes in dreams and, that if you follow yours, in the end it will all work out for the best.
If Kaitlyn Anderson keeps putting out music like found on A New Word for Over she can rest assured that all of her music related dreams will be coming true.
