‘’Regional Treasure – With the album Kiss The Sky by Kate Morrison, we enter into a very particular world; a world of flowers and sunshine, of wind and moon, of trees and chocolate, with, above, an immense heavenly blue canopy. The singer-songwriter is one of these human beings who still knows how to appreciate the beauty of the universe despite the sadness and the anger that sometimes obscures one’s days and years. From this poetry that touches us through her simplicity and sincerity, Kate Morrison carries us away with an array of songs that we are drawn to by their multicoloured hues, the finesse of the arrangements, the rich instrumentation and this superb chameleon voice capable of connecting all the emotions; loss, melancholy, revolt, sensuality, immense joy’’. (excerpts, Steve Bergeron, La Tribune.)
