Classically trained Australian singer-songwriter. Though beloved in her home country for some time now, Kate recently received more worldwide exposure after participating in Eurovision 2019. Kate's approach to singing is quite a unique one; declaring (correctly) that placing emphasis on vocal range is "bullshit" and that how one uses their voice is more important, Kate's vocal approach is varied to say the least. Her upper register is definitely where she's most confident, with her classical training meaning she can reach comfortably into the sixth octave. Outside of this, though, her singing is still stellar, sounding beautifully tender on ballads like "The Last Day on Earth". Don't let the fact that she's entered Eurovision fool you, because you're really missing out by not checking out her albums.

{A Few Examples of Her Voice}
Remarkable vocal agility with a stunning crescendo up to C♯6 around 1:53.


Nothing boastful vocally here, just simply beautiful singing.


Something from Kate's newest album. Lows down to E3 and a lovely highs up to G5.

Questionable notes are any notes of questionable significance. In short, this spoiler acknowledges notes that I am aware exist, but do not want to contribute to the singer's range. These involve (but are not limited to) notes of questionable identity, notes of questionable legitimacy and notes of significantly poor quality.

Great pop music! Like a Lily Allen & Tori Amos hybrid. There are A5s in the bridge of “The One Thing I Know”, as well as F♯5s in “Can’t Shake It”, and notes from B3 to E6 in “Supergirl” (listening to Curiouser rn)
