Impossible
Katie Thompson's career has flourished under the bright lights of the international music funding site Sellaband, making her one of the fastest-ever artists to reach the $US50,000 level needed to record and release an album - and all contributed by people who love her music.
That new album is Impossible, featuring the single Good As Gold. Produced in the UK at Modern World Studios by renowned British producer, Greg Haver, the album is a treasure-trove of rare and beautiful songs which blend elements of pop, folk and country.

When I first heard Katie's music on Sellaband, I knew this was an artist who was going places, and so did 294 other people from around the world, as we all invested in her current album, "Impossible".
Well, as it turns out, the title of the album was anything BUT...as Katie's "Good As Gold" skyrocketed to the top of the NZ iTunes download charts 2 days after it was released and the continued success of the album, moving up to 3rd in the IndieCharts.com rankings for ALL Genres, and #1 for Country/Acoustic.
Katie's sound is uniquely her own. She brings her Kiwi flavor to Country, Folk, and Pop...combining them in a highly contagious and infectious manner. Her music is solely responsible for making me "cross over" to country music and opening my eyes to other New Zealand musicians.
The second half of 2011 is turning out to be Katie's reward, as she was voted in as the opening act for Sir Elton John in the first Major concert of the newly built Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin, NZ; she's a finalist for both the "2011 Country Female Artist of the Year" award and the prestigious "Horizon Award".
If you're looking for something fresh, uplifting, and just downright awesome...download Katie's music. It's all good! It won't be long before New Zealand's newest superstar is known and heard around the world.
