Purrrrr…Le Kat seducing music & video
fans
Boudoir
Rouge garnering favorable album
reviews,
steamy “Wikked Lil’ Grrrls” video debuts on YouTube
Hollywood, CA - A glamour girl enchanted by Paris and
the Golden Age of Hollywood, chanteuse Le Kat has pounced on the music
and video scene with a theatrical debut album and a devilishly delicious music
video. Brimful of elegantly diverse
jazz vocals and moody pop songs that ooze sensuality, Boudoir Rouge
was released last month (February 16th) and is earning the praise of
reviewers. Answering the desires of
her “phans”, Le Kat wrote a bonus track, “Lady In Lavender,” in homage to the
iconic character she portrayed in the classic horror film,
Phantasm. Lush
and inviting, Boudoir Rouge,
produced by Le Kat and William
Tabanou, celebrates the swank of the Jazz Age and the bluesy
swagger of the modern day. Alluring
and chic, Le Kat could be Marlene Dietrich’s and Cole Porter’s
love child awakened in a new era.
Peering through the keyhole of Le
Kat’s lavish boudoir, in the “Wikked Lil’ Grrrls” tantalizing music video
we are instantly drawn into her whimsical world and entrancing vignettes,
exceeding one’s expectations.
Corseted in black satin and slinky red velvet, we are greeted by the
platinum blonde temptress’ curvaceous hourglass figure. She brazenly takes hold of the stage
strutting to the fusion of contagious Bossa Nova and samba rhythms.
With lyrical wit and vocal
prowess, Le Kat is unafraid to flaunt her sultry ego and the independence of
today’s woman. No surprise, music
critics are taking notice of Le Kat and Boudoir Rouge. Below is some of the
buzz.
Jazziz:
“Boudoir Rouge, the recently released 14-track debut album from singer
Le Kat, is a sultry, playful affair inspired by a range of interests and
influences… Le Kat is assisted on Boudoir Rouge by a fine cast of
musicians…Le Kat — a Hollywood, California, native whose real name is Kathy
Lester — wrote nine of the songs on this stylistically diverse record, which
includes vintage-sounding jazz numbers, theatrical cabaret tunes, pop, and moody
torch songs. All of the material
exudes a smoky, come-hither slinkiness.
Basically, the disc is good fun...On the whole, this is a nice debut
effort.”
Smooth Jazz Daily: “Her own composition More is just
brilliant… Ballads like the longing Desire, the self-confident Bigger
Than The Both Of Us or the critical River show Le Kat's real
strength, her fantastic skills as composer and singer…Le Kat's Boudoir Rouge
is a special work of art. A
shimmering world of indecency with its own attractiveness.”
