Dear friends:)
Thank you for your continued support of my music and I am excited to announce that three weeks ago I released my 5th studio record ‘Polonia.’ I am very proud to announce that the British media have embraced my songs and given my album no less than 4/5 stars across the National Broadsheet Papers and Music Magazines. As you can imagine we are all extremely excited as this is a great achievement especially for an Independent record release. I would therefore like firstly to send out my sincere thanks to all those journalists who have supported my music and the wonderful Team Katy at Evans Above PR, Proper Distribution UK, Fonografika PL, RoRo Management who have promoted Polonia and to all my musicians who created this record with me with special thanks to Nigel of Bermondsey producer of Polonia (2015) and Paszport(2012).

POLONIA REVIEW QUOTES :
‘A very desirable artefact,superbly arranged and produced and a fascinating insight into Britain’s relationship with its historical closest ally, and a powerful collection of hugely original songs. ‘ fRoots
‘The Anglo-Polish singer brings a numinous reggae-kujawiak in honour of tank commander General Stanisław Maczek, who after the Second World War pulled pints at the Leamonth Hotel in Edinburgh.’ MOJO Playlist
‘Polonia is charged with romance, historical witness and courage, generating an experience that complements similarly inclined records by British Sea Power or Public Service Broadcasting.’ Q Magazine 4 stars ****
‘A truly singular creation.’ The Observer 4 stars ****
‘An eclectic sonic paletta, full of charm and verve but with a melancholy undertow.’ The Independent 4 stars ****
‘Polonia begins with a love song to Polonia, the Latin name for Poland, that shows her strength as a writer of grand, upbeat melodies.’ The Guardian 4 stars ****
Katy Carr’s Polonia music video made it’s first debut on 3/11/2015 on The Guardian Playlist
‘Born to a Polish mother and Scottish-English father, Katy Carr has become fascinated by her Polish roots and the country’s history during the Second World War. Her last album, Paszport, matched history lessons with strong melodies, and the new set, released this month, broadens the range with stories about Charlie Chaplin and his Polish fiancee or the West’s betrayal of Poland at Yalta. This is the title track, a love song to the country the Romans called Polonia.’
This video was filmed at the Collegium Maius (Latin for “Great College”,) which is oldest building of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow ( est 1364) and was purchased with funds bequeathed by Queen Jadwiga of Poland. Notable alumni include the Polish astronomer Mikołaj Kopernik (Nicolaus Copernicus 1473–1543). With special thanks to : The Jagiellonian University Polish Research Centre – Polski Ośrodek Naukowy PON UJ and the Collegium Maius Museum of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland.
