Katy Rose updated fans on her blog at MySpace (@officialkatyrose) on Monday (September 14), celebrating the fact that the summer heat is over - confessing she’s “not huge on sunshine” and revealing that her new album will be out soon. The singer songwriter tells readers:

Music is flowing from me… and the only thing that could make this time in my life more amazing is if my new record was out now and I was touring.

Don’t worry. It’ll be out soon. My part is basically done; but this is the hard part because I have to rely on other people now. Please send any love or positive energy you may have my way. Time is critical!

Katy Rose updated fans on her blog at MySpace (@officialkatyrose) on Monday (April 13), talking about getting a Japanese release for her ‘Tangled But True’ album and work on her new album. Rose writes:

A new Japanese record label approached me a couple of months ago to release a third album over there. I’m happy to say that it looks as though I’ll be releasing “Tangled but True” (a record I finished quite some time ago and was forced to shelf for a while in lieu of other projects) over there soon. I’ve got a couple photo shoots set up for some fashion and music magazines over there. Asia has always been very kind and enthusiastic towards my music so I look forward to working over there very much.

All of that is easy and secondary, though, to my work on my newest album. That’s what really lights a fire under my ass and gets me going in the morning. While my producer (the incomparable Justin Gray) is away I’ve been trying to finish up the vocals on the 8 sassy songs we’ve already written so that when he returns we can create a couple new ones and finish the damn thing.

I’ll keep you all posted on my progress!

Katy Rose updated fans on her blog at MySpace (@officialkatyrose) on Tuesday (January 6). The Los Angeles singer songwriter tells readers:

The holidays were stressful and not really worth half the trouble this year. They aren’t quite over for me yet as I have a depressing anniversary looming ahead. On my birthday ( the 27th) it will be the 5 year anniversary of when “Because I Can” was released in the States. In five years I have really been through hell and back while I’ve recorded upwards of 200 songs, only a couple of which have been released under a different name. One day I will write my memoirs and be sure to dedicate a solid chapter to how I’ve been so royally fu**ed by the music business. It’s really unbelievable…

I embark on this new year with more assets than I’ve ever had, though. There are a lot of interesting enterprises on my horizon and lots of really exciting music to make. I’m healthier (quit chain smoking!) and much more of a solid person than ever before.

And I promise you guys this:

If by the end of this year I do not have this record out with the backing of a label that believes in me and has the clout to fund a couple tours etc…, I’ll just release it myself.
