Katie deploys her signature vocal vibrato to devastating effect’ – At The BarrierRaised in the East Yorkshire flatlands on the fringes of Hull (UK)\, Katie Spencer’s landscape has always beenthat of open skies and widening rivers. It is this sense of space and movement tha t flows through her assuredguitar style and songwriting. Now\, as Katie st eps into this new era with a third album\, her focus turns to thosedeeper inner spaces\, inviting the listener to engage with her heartfelt and intr icately crafted songs.Her writing\, and most notably her guitar playing\, stems from a time when the steel-stringed instrument wastruly finding its voice. Artists like Joni Mitchell\, Judee Sill\, Julie Byrne and perhaps m ost evidently MichaelChapman weave into her sound. Katie absorbs these inf luences into her songwriting and with her distinctivedeep vibrato and crys tal-clear guitar style\, she makes the music inimitably her own.Katie rele ased her third album What Love Is in October 2025\; an intimate collection of ten brand-new songsproduced by Matt Ingram (Laura Marling\, The Staves ). It reached #12 in the Official Folk Albums Chart uponrelease. Recorded in London’s Urchin Studios and featuring prominent players Giacomo Smith (clarinet)\, MaxClilverd (pedal steel)\, Tom Mason (double bass) and Matt Ingram (drums\, synth). What Love Is evokes thespirit of Joni Mitchell’ s finest later works\, always honouring without emulating. Lyrically matur e and at timespastoral\; the album is melodically sophisticated and unflin chingly honest. She moves effortlessly from wide-open jazz-tinged soundsca pes\, influenced by Pharoah Sanders and John Abercrombie\, through to the folk-baroque fingerpicking style that her fans admire her for. Her singing is powerful yet warm\, true and pristinein delivery. The musicianship thr oughout the record feels liberated by Katie’s innovation and confidence\ , andthe result is a master-class of inspired and beautiful-sounding craft smanship.‘... a world-class folk guitarist’ – fRoots'Katie’s guita r playing has echoes of my dear friend the late great Bert Jansch.
