Hollywood - Kate Westwood (Soft Rock) Kate Westwood says goodbye to “Hollywood” in her latest record, where she defiantly announces that she is no longer chasing stardom and has found she can feed her soul through the act of artistic creation and expression alone. It’s a full on jam session, one we think would kill in a live show. Introduced with a seductive guitar, later switching to some funk riffs, the track has a rich production lead by Kate’s strong and weighty belt. The production is timeless, sitting above modern trends and gimmicks, with some fun key changes and switchups that reveal Kate’s maturity as a musician—we particularly loved the switchup at the end of the second verse. “Hollywood” is a “sing along” kinda song, and surely Kate’s fans will live in concert.

Best Lyric: “I don’t need the lights and stars to shine.”
