Whilst clearly touched by the light of a 60’s torch song, Kate Vigo’s latest single ‘Not The One’ has a clear contemporary edge. Featuring the musically adventurous spirit that quickly has become Vigo’s calling card, ‘Not The One’ is a blend of sweeping strings, a Shangri-la’s back beat and a whistling riff that is bound to stay on your lips for days.
Turning the tradition of the girl singer at home crying over lost love on its head ‘Not The One’ is cute but cutting. Says Vigo of the track,“I wanted to do a cute 60’s inspired number that says you’re really nice and it would be easy to play along but... you’re just not the one. Sorry.”
The release of ‘Not The One’ is just the latest in a round of wins for Vigo in 2012. Her previous single ‘Wanna Run’ was recently selected to be a finalist, from a pool of over 16,000 entries, in the International Songwriting Competition’s Unsigned Category, the winners of which will be announced this May.

Vigo says “My songs have always had a dark side and for this album I wanted to write some more uplifting songs and also have some fun in the process of writing”.

Coming from an enriched musical platform Kate has unrelentingly launched herself at a vast array of projects, recently as the genesis for collaborations with people in the steed of Clare Bowditch. In 2010 Kate’s attitude toward her craft propelled her into achievements such as; a Musicoz Award for Best Video for ‘The Way You Are’, selected to attend the APRA/AMCOS Song Summit in Sydney, featuring on MAX Music, Network Ten’s new series Offspring, ABC’s Art Nation, and receiving radio airplay on Triple J, Radar Radio and Fox FM.

Kate’s ability to shape a sentiment of anguish or her ability to propel the thrill of life in her song writing will ensure her evoking presence in the international music moonscape will be absorbed for an eternity.
