•   Breaking Free was a really fun album to write because I set out to tell the full story and in a sense live up to the album title. In the last couple years I have been doing a lot of licensing for TV/film and I wanted my audience to get a fuller sense of who I am, beyond the songs they hear on Pretty Little Liars or Switched at Birth.
•   I wanted to share more of myself, the shadows and broken parts too. The song “Be Brave” is probably the most vulnerable me I've ever put out there, which was scary at first, but wound up feeling really good to express. And the song “I Am All These Things” was liberating. It's nice to talk about the things about me that are less than perfect. It's a good feeling to you accept our flaws and let it be okay. I also think sharing these human elements hopefully gives other people permission to do the same for themselves. It takes too much energy to try to pretend to be perfect, and it's kinda boring :)
•   In addition to these more reflective songs, there are also many fun songs on the album like “Let Your Colors Shine,” “Gonna Make a Change” and “We're Good Together.” Bill Lefler did such a stellar job of making these songs sound like you're listening to a party. And it really was a bunch of people in a room having a blast. I hope it translates to the listeners and makes them feel like they can join in the fun.
•   I'm so grateful to the craft of songwriting, because the more I grow up, the more it challenges me to express everything that's there: the good, the bad and the ugly. And that is such a gift.
•   We are currently in the studio working on my next album, which is a continuation of the same process. I'm expanding the view so that people get to see the whole Cathy.

•   Dans un créneau déja en voie de saturation, Cathy Heller tire quand meme assez bien son épingle du jeu. Un album agréable a écouter.
