LOS ANGELES: Katrina Parker – “Don’t Give It Up”

Sometimes you have to lose yourself a bit to find yourself in earnest. For Katrina Parker, that journey involved the bright lights of her run on “The Voice” carrying her away a bit from her country roots.

Parker details, “I made my last record from a place of intense fear, pressured not to squander my post-Voice opportunity and lost myself in the process.”

Now, Parker has recaptured the initial spirit of her artistry in the form of her great new album, Stars. A soul-stirring listen from start to finish, it’s closer, “Don’t Give It Up,” is as inspirational as its title suggests and is our highlight today. Parker’s soaring vocals arrest from the outset and serve as an uplifting boost to anyone in need of one (present company included).
