Song of the Day: Sloth by Katy Rose



I don't know if many people remember an artist who came out in 2004 named Katy Rose. Her song "Lemon" was used in the movie Thirteen and "Overdrive" was featured in Mean Girls, nudging it onto the MTV and VH1 countdowns. At the time, her album was "Because I Can". After that release, she ended up self-releasing an album called Candy-Eyed which is more experimental than her first. It's a shame that due to the nature of the music business more people probably know about "Overdrive" than any of her newer, and arguably better songs. But believe me, if you like something a little left of the airwaves, try this on for size. She weaves words in a way that is truly rare and tosses out unused metaphors like they weren't a sight to be seen. She's truly one of my favorite female artists. On top of all that, it's just a downright catchy song. Check it out and go hear more on her myspace: http://www.myspace.com/officialkatyrose
