“A Better Picture” is Kat Webb’s sophomore album of original soul music. It draws on the numerous musical styles in Webb’s background, including some folk from her home state of Texas, some blues from the South, and some New Jack Swing from her new home on the East Coast. It was co-produced by world-class musician and veteran producer, Christian Ver Halen (Maya Azucena, Kendra Ross), and musician and band leader, Jesse Fischer (Soul Cycle, Gretchen Parlato).
Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter, Gordon Chambers, once said to Webb in a private session, “You have it! You have a beautiful instrument; such a unique voice. You don’t sound like anyone. You need to be out there, singing. You need to be gigging!” Webb performed selections of her debut album, “An Old Soul”, all over the East coast, including at the legendary Lenox Lounge, Nuyorican Poets Café and Drom.
“Waver”, the lead single from “A Better Picture”, has been met with extremely positive praise, with Giant Step remarking “if this first single is any indication, we’ve got a hefty treat awaiting us. Her sound has got our mushy feelings turned up on high”, and Traprock Radio adding about Webb “such a stunning, frictionless sound she has. Great Artist!! Hope to hear more from her in the future.”
“Waver” is currently available on Webb’s personal website, Soundcloud, Bandcamp and Reverb Nation. It is also available via Jango, online streaming radio, on which it’s received a Pop Score (listener rating system) of at least 80 (out of 100) three weeks running.

“I named this album ‘A Better Picture’ because this album is my way of giving the listeners insight into me as a person and as an artist. It’s also my debut as a songwriter of my own music, so I’m beyond thrilled people are responding so strongly and positively. -Kat Webb
