Title - Momentary Beauty
Artist - Kate Hamann

For those unaware, born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, Kate Hamann started studying the trumpet at 10. As her passion for performing grew, she attended the Interlochen Arts School at 16.

There she studied classical and jazz trumpet with Ken Larson and Bill Sears (respectively), graduating with the class of 2018.

Kate then attended the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami and studied with legendary artists Brian Lynch, Etienne Charles and John Davera. During college, Kate discovered her love of singing and decided to incorporate her voice into her musicianship.

On her debut EP, When I Grow Up, she brought forth a collection of original music centered around childhood, relationships, self-discovery, and new beginnings. Indeed, When I Grow Up embraced the fact that, as artists and people, we are constantly evolving and growing, no matter how old or experienced.

Her brand new full-length album Momentary Beauty (coming out November 18th, 2022) tells a long love story, starting with feelings of butterflies, daydreaming, and the blissful period of being newly in love.

1. Butterflies
2. What Love Could Be
3. Daydream
4. Daydream (Reprise)
5. Stepping Stones
6. Cherish You
7. Momentary Beauty
8. Songs We Used to Sing

This incredibly impassioned and immaculately heartfelt new album opens on the fun and flirtatiously-noted elegance of Butterflies and that weaves seamlessly into the reflective contemplation of energy found within What Love Could Be (itself a nod to uncertain times of loneliness, but where a new romance can bring clarity and joy), and then we get the compositional, almost hypnotizing exploration within both Daydream and the sweetly cultured Daydream (Reprise).

Up next is Stepping Stones, a track that highlights loyalty to a partner through hardship and such, its well crafted, melodious ebb and flow, peaks and troughs a joy to behold, and that is itself followed by the balladry work of Cherish you, the recording rounding out on the album-themed encapsulation within the titular Momentary Beauty, coming to a close on a track that symbolizes the unrelenting grief one can experience losing the one they love, the optimistic, yet reflectively yearning Songs We Used to Sing.

In closing, this brand new album attempts to describe (and to my journalist mind, succeeds) the indescribable experience of human love: so remarkable to us, yet even our strongest passions happen for only a moment.
