Today, dynamic Nashville-based singer/songwriter Kate Vogel shares her stunning new album soft out now. The record is an 8-song collection of intimate and diaristic tracks rooted in Kate’s personal healing journey after surviving an attempt on her own life. “My second album ‘soft; is about the struggle to let down your walls and remain open when you’ve been hurt over and over again,” the singer reflects. “The fight to remain vulnerable, honest, and authentic instead of closing yourself off from the world. This album is some of my most honest storytelling and captures the last few years of my life, from moving across the country, to heartbreak, to the trauma I experienced as a young teenager in music who was taken advantage of, and learning how to be open to new love again”
The album joins previous releases “light at the end of the tunnel,” “next thing you know,” and “broke up on my birthday.” The record is the first from the singer songwriter since her long-awaited debut album Someone I’m Proud Of. soft is a hopeful rebirth for the singer-songwriter.
Equal parts unflinchingly honest and fiercely hopeful, Kate Vogel is an artist for healing. Her introspective, piano-driven balladry reaches far beyond her hometown of Nashville to tug on heartstrings worldwide. At the young age of 15, Vogel was signed as a singer-songwriter, but her quick start in the music industry came to an abrupt halt due to a tragic onslaught of trauma. She was artistically inactive for nearly a decade.
Vogel’s triumphant return in 2019, a single titled “Reasons to Stay,” became a viral hit practically overnight. Now amassing over 40 million streams across major platforms, “Reasons to Stay” highlights Vogel’s gift to pair heavy-hitting lyrics with an impossibly delicate musical touch. Her long-awaited debut album “Someone I’m Proud Of” arrived in 2021, courageously untangling themes of generational trauma, sexual assault, and the uphill struggle for self-love with soulful lyrics and Americana-inspired arrangements. Her careful journey in healing has led us to a new era for the singer.
Vogel now splits her time between L.A. and Nashville, representing the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention with state and federal governments and serving on the L.A. board, all while recording her second album. Vogel is a living testament to the truth of her viral, whisper-sung proclamation: “The beauty will outweigh the pain.”
Kate has been a vocal mental health advocate for years now. She works very closely with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and even represented the organization on Capitol Hill in support for LGBTQI+ youth, mental health services for students, the 988 crisis text line, veterans, and equitable access to care.
