Kirsten Price is a growing army of talent that maintains a very healthy career by wholeheartedly rejecting the major label paradigm and flying under the radar. Her unique voice has been chosen by companies like Coke, Campbell's & Clinique to ram home their ad campaigns and her music has been picked up by major networks like CBS, Showtime and MTV. She has been called on to open the show for Sly Stone, Wyclef Jean and Natasha Bedingfield and quietly toured 21 US states, the UK, Canada and Italy on her own steam. Now she is blazing new ground with her sophomore album "Brixton To Brooklyn"; a daring self-produced tour de force.

I have a lot of respect for those artists that are making their own way. So, in one way, this post is a tribute to those that operate their own labels and maintain their musical integrity (not to say that those signed to major and minor labels don’t have musical integrity). For that reason, I’m highlighting Kirsten Price. The British songstress released her latest album Brixton To Brooklyn on her independent KPI label. Brixton To Brooklyn is an eclectic group of songs. All of which were apparently written by Kirsten. Listening through, it might better serve the listener to think of it as a singles album. The common thread is not in the songs but in the singer. The songs ping across the spectrum but Kirsten Price is there, delivering in each of them. This range is showcased by what I consider the highlights of the album. Two particular songs stood out. They start off the album back-to-back in fact. While I wouldn’t have named the first song With Or Without You because of the U2 song, the album opener is a very strong song that immediately invokes Kelly Clarkson comparisons in my mind. It’s full bore power pop. Kirsten follows it up with Moving On, which was my favorite on first listen and I stand by that reaction. The second song sees her slow it down and deliver a balladry, pop gem. It’s also included below so definitely give it a listen. You can buy the album at iTunes among other places. Check out more of Kirsten’s music at her website and her Facebook.

KIRSTEN PRICE BRIXTON TO BROOKLYN Here we have nine tracks on the sopho- more record from Kirsten, a collage of rock, pop, R&B, and lots of energy. Being almost three years since her first release, the dis- tinct difference on this record is that it’s totally self pro- duced and written. This transplant from the UK has set out to show the world, starting here in the States, that she has all the musical chops it takes to get to the top. Landing placements on vari- ous television spots, receiving positive press, and selling briskly on iTunes, this indie talent will soon be more than an indie name. Being compared to other well known names, she is well on her way to being a well known name herself. “Take me to the Top”, is debuting on a cable show, although the power pop filled, “With or Without You, “ is the official first single. Kudos to this ultra hard working in- die artist for creating such a highly polished record. - Fish

Kirsten Price, delivers on her sophomore album by DOA Bryan Sanchez
“But at the end of the day…we are just the same,” is just one of the clairvoyantly obvious lines Kirsten Price delivers on her sophomore album, Brixton to Brooklyn. The sultry singer sounds effortlessly soulful and lush in singing about the everyday troubles we go through. And as humble as such statements arise, Price isn’t the kind of singer to gently fly away; she’s a definite songwriter and one that sounds balanced and assured on a strong release. Price’s confidence spills over onto the album’s diverse array of sounds and styles. Whether she’s dreaming in a club-heavy trance (“Take Me to the Top”) or mysteriously smooth and shimmering (“One More Time”), Price is always perched at the top: belting the melody. The album’s dynamics shift from an R&B pulse to late 80s pop in an instant but at the core of it all is Price’s ranging vocals that always seem to deliver the most fitting tone. On the latter she drives the poppy glimmer of the music’s sheen with rhetorical questions (“Did you forget about me while you were working overtime?”) and ensures that the rhythm goes through her and not – as expected – through the beats. Most of this has to deal with the lone fact that Price produced all of the music on Brixton to Brooklyn. It’s a commendable task in all truthfulness because Price captures an essence to her music that goes beyond the album’s sprawling modes. The accomplishment comes in portraying your emotions the way you’d prefer and Price has done just that in revealing a singer that is formidable and quite able. She’s capable of various outfits but her main gig is always going to be possessing a gifted voice. Instead of making each sound an astounding new revelation, Price opts for portraying each style through a three-minute song that evokes relationships, love, emotions and decisions. She sings about being let off the ride of life on “With or Without You,” where she opens her album with an emotionally gripping kiss-off and in the best of ways, it’s a rather impressing opening. It almost fools you through its use of heavy guitars and drums to showcase a rock and roll sound that not many would’ve expected. But all of that’s quickly put to rest with the piano-led melody of R&B-ballad, “Moving On.” She advises, “Your broken heart, it will learn to love again,” and she sings about all of the positives that occur afterward with a calming ease. Her music is a catchy swirl of pop and R&B hooks that is then sprinkled with memorable lines. Brixton to Brooklyn is her stab at a new progression; through instantly strong reference points, Price is the kind of artist that could just as easily be on the radio in an instant. KPI

It's Pop Interview by It's Pop
Kirsten Price is a UK singer who's got a new album out called Brixton To Brooklyn. She came a bit out of nowhere for me, more precisely through an e-mail submission. I must say I'm happy I listened to the whole record because it is really enjoyable. Sonically it's a mix of various sounds and influences ranging from pop, rock and R&B. We got to ask Kirsten a few questions, read her answers after the jump and listen to the first single off the album, the epic With Or Without You. Some of her anwsers are a little bit short and I would have loved to ask more things, but that's the problem with e-mail interviews : they're not conversations. So Kirsten, if you wanna chat some more, give me a call!

Kirsten Price Beatweek Interview by Beatweek
If you’re looking to put a label on the music of Kirsten Price, don’t bother. It’s some kind of combination of rock, pop, funk, and soul, but even that doesn’t quite sound accurate. Don’t try putting a label on her either. She’s fun to hang with, and yet when it’s time to make an album, she vanishes into isolation – and don’t even look for her on Twitter. Here’s the story behind the British singer-songwriter- indie label owner’s new album Brixton to Brooklyn, as she tells it… So what have you been up to? I was doing a little sticky feet venue touring across the country. That’s floors that aren’t clean that have a lot of sticky alcohol left on them from the night before. I call them sticky feet venues. So I’ve done lots and lots of touring with a couple of guys in a van, I think a couple months in 2009, and then I just decided not to do anything and I shaved my head and I went into an underground recording studio and I stayed there until I finished my album. How much of that last part is true? Did you really shave your head? Were you really underground? Really, I shaved my head. After a show in Philadelphia last winter. I was in Chinatown in Philadelphia and I was kind of lost. I was with a friend. It’s very tiny, the Chinatown there compared to New York, so it was strange and we were trying to work out how big it was, and it was very cold. I think I was waiting for someone. I was waiting for the club I’d played at the night before to open because I had lost my laptop there, and I was using my laptop to trigger samples, so I really really needed it. I walked past this window, and this Chinese guy was massaging somebody’s head and their shoulders, and I thought ooh, I want that. It was “ten dollar haircut!” and I said do I get a massage with a haircut? It wasn’t much English but I kind of assumed that he meant yes, and he asked what I wanted him to do, and I said “shave my head.” The other guy had his head shaved, and it looked really good, and it looked like he was really enjoying it. And I figured I didn’t want to go on stage again for awhile, I didn’t want anyone seeing me for awhile, and I just wanted to high out and make my album. So I shaved my head. Why did you call the record Brixton to Brooklyn? I think I wanted to call my last album Brixton to Brooklyn and I didn’t get to, so I just slapped the label on this one. But it is very much about where I’ve been and what I’ve been through, and that’s got me the skillset that allowed me to do what I’m doing. So it’s just an appropriate name. Not much really to it. You didn’t get to call the last one by that name? I’m the only one in control of this new album because I wrote it and produced it and did everything myself and haven’t any cooks spoiling the broth or helping the broth, so to speak. I remember there was a lot of back and forth about a lot of petty, petty small and unimportant things. That was a title I had had in mind for awhile, and nobody was stopping me from doing anything this time. You’ve said that you trash 99.9% of the songs you write. There are nine on songs on this record. How many did you write for it? Honestly, I have no idea because a lot of my songs I start just from a producer’s point of view with drums and bass and rhythm and textures and ideas. I have a lot of half finished ideas or fully completed instrumentals, and then I have a lot of songs that don’t really have much going on. I have a lot of stuff that didn’t make it to the final stage that aren’t necessarily completed, produced, finished crafted songs that didn’t make it on. A few hard drives full. But they’re all being used for other things. When you write a song like your new single With Or Without You, do you have to actually be in that mindset to write something that heartfelt, or can you just imagine yourself being in that situation? No, that was definitely personal experience. It can relate to a lot of different people in a lot of different situations. You can just relate to the basic concept of the song, which is being attracted to things that are bad for us, and ultimately they end up destroying us, whatever those things may be. Obviously they’re different for different people. When people find out you’ve got a song called With Or Without You, do they assume you’ve covered the U2 song before they hear it? You know, I almost tried to change it. I suggested to myself and to other people that I change the title. But since we’re dealing with popular music in the twenty-first century and we’ve got at least fifty years of so many songs with similar themes and titles, I just figured since that’s the main point of the song, just because there is another song with a title that deals with, it’s a completely different song, almost completely different subject matter, I didn’t have a concern about it With a song like Give That Girl, is the message really that you should give a girl anything she wants, or is it a cautionary tale? I had so much fun with that. Sometimes I was writing it thinking that I’m the girl and give me what I want. I think why that song is enjoyable is because you’re saying give the girl what she wants and it’s really a sexual thing. When you’re telling guys to give a girl, guys aren’t often told that they should go ahead and do what they want with a girl because she wants it. So it was kind of fun and liberating, I think, for everyone. There’s a male voice on Press That Button and Let Your Light Shine. Tell me about this guy. Why is he on your record? His name’s Tuck, and he was my neighbor in Fort Greene and Brooklyn for several years. He has a beautiful vocal texture, he’s a very talented singer. He’s half Chinese and half African. He’s just a very charming character that I got to know in the neighborhood. I produced some music for him, and he and I wrote some stuff together. I had a rap that I was doing myself, but I thought my goodness, who’s going to swallow this British chick rapping? That’s not really gonna work. So he basically did the identical rap that I wanted to do myself, and it worked out really well. I just love his voice, I love his energy, and it worked out really well on the album. I wish I’d had him on more tracks, actually, but we would have confused people a little too much. That’s what I love. You didn’t try to go out and get some famous rapper on your record just to have a name. You got your talented neighbor instead. That’s a theme in the business these days. People are so desperate to sell things, they’ll put one artist that’s already selling a lot with another artist that has a completely different fan demographic in the hopes of garnishing the rewards of each other’s fans. I think the latest is Justin Bieber, young white boy who does lots of what I would call duets [laughs], I don’t know another word for them, with mature adult male urban artists. It’s a phenomenon I think particular to the digital age, when the world just hasn’t got its industry paradigm down properly, and everyone’s kind of falling over each other to do a smart, interesting thing and work our way around a system where music is free. It’s led to a lot of interesting collaborations. You’ve got a Twitter feed posting news from your site, but you’re not posting on Twitter yourself. I understand a lot of artists feel pressure to engage personally with their fanbase, and it’s a smart tactic but it just seems to disingenuous to me. Honestly, I don’t have the time. I’m a musician. I like to write. I like to get depressed and not write for days and go crazy and not talk to anyone, and then I like to work for days and not talk to anyone [laughs]. So documenting my every move to anyone who is bored enough to want to know seems as if we’re all sort of disappearing into smaller and smaller circles. But I do understand the impetus and the desire to connect with fans when there’s so many artists competing for an ever decreasing pie, and I do sympathize. I don’t ridicule people for doing that. I’m just not at a point in my career where I’m going to participate. You’re a Brooklyn resident now. Do you see yourself staying there long term, or will your next record be called Brooklyn to Boston? Honestly, I have no idea. I like Brooklyn. I’m very comfortable there. I actually made part of this album in the recording studio that I have now in a basement in SoHo in New York. I’ve been there for quite some time, and I don’t have any wanderlust right now. Wandering around on tour is plenty to satisfy any wanderlust that I might have.

The Deli~ "she obviously knows what she's doing." by JL
DIY can be mainstream - Kirsten Price Kirsten Price is an inverted independent musician. Her music sounds like radio-friendly R&B: tight, clean and well produced, but she isn’t beholden to a record label. For her first record, “Guts and Garbage”, Price had a producer, but her recently released, “Brixton to Brooklyn” she decided to produce it herself, and she obviously knows what she's doing. Both albums will make you move - the second with a little less country in your pop. Price’s song “Magic Tree” was included on the most recent LWord compilation album. Previously compared to artists like Amy Winehouse and Macy Grey, Price sounds like if Ani Difranco was raised by Jay-Z and Beyonce. - JL

Fabtastic "Brixton To Brooklyn" Review by Fabtastic
Kirsten Price is a fiery songstress who's just unleashed her brand new full-length Brixton To Brooklyn on the world. Jumping between pounding rock/pop tracks in the vein of Kelly Clarkson, through gorgeous layered R'n'B tinged Ballads and absolutely fierce dance/pop thumpers, the album is carried off with Kirsten's flawless vocal, an fantastic set of lyrics, strong melodies and a real sense that this would lend it'sself AMAZINGLY to a stage show...

PMR is "delighted" with the "very impressive" B2B by Planet Music
The album is full of power pop/ rock floor fillers which makes this an album you will put on repeat.. very impressive... She has one amazing talent there and she gets extra brownie points in my book because it is not often the artist writes the entire album. Also the vocals are superb I even enjoyed the ballad Keep Moving. The only drawback with this album is that it's too short. Once you reach the end of Press That Button you are left wanting more as your first listen to Brixton To Brooklyn is over in a flash because you enjoyed it so much." Brixton To Brooklyn is out now on KPI Records and is available to purchase on iTunes
