And it kills me when you call
Cause it gets me every time (gets me every time)
Well you told me that you can't commit
That love feels like a crime
And it kills me
So forgive my naivety
And I'll forgive you for leading me
Down places where we shouldn't be
And I curse the day we met
Liverpool
songbird Katie Nicholas returns all guns sparklin’ alongside
UK Americana rising star Robert Vincent to kickstart a new era
of self-produced country-pop bops, celebrating her earliest viral tracks which
kickstarted her early career in British Country Music.
“You Kill Me” (writers: Alistair Edward Ingle, Katie
Nicholas) is the Americana anthem for the cynic’s true romantic heart. Enough
to “make your stomach churn”, Nicholas and Vincent’s harmonies entwine within a
starry mix of multi-award winning AMA-UK instrumentalists
including Anna Corcoran, Isabella Baker, Mark Lewis, CJ Hillman, Sean
Rogan, Joe Coombs + more.
With Robert heading out on tour with Robert Plant in 2025, and
Katie’s completion of the prolific 50-song Songwriter Diaries series,
these two artists, both championed by BBC Radio 2’s Whispering Bob
Harris, have rocked up giddy to Deliver their tragic love-ballad - all with a
smirk upon their face.
Katie,
in her own words, shares with fans: “There’s been so many stops and starts
throughout my journey that I’m feeling determined lately to release all of my
music so you can stick it on while you potter around or just whenever you need
a pick-me-up (or sob!) - sometimes I cannot believe most of my music is still
inaccessible and unreleased… this is why I’m so desperate to get it all out so
you can stream with ease”.
Regarding
“You Kill Me” and what’s ahead, I am
very proud and happy with this work, and it’s the first time I’m sat fully in
the producer’s seat. With the end of Songwriter Diaries on the horizon (yes, episode 49 is
already out - how crazy?), I wanted to celebrate a handful of my earliest
songs, all written between ages 16 and 20. This one made the cut cause I could
never put it down. It’s
now 10 years old and only now seeing the light of day, and was my first and
last co-write, written with scouse/London buddy, Ali Ingle. Fast forward to
2024 and my dear friend Robert Vincent joins me, along with a team of
incredible musicians, to resuscitate and bring the track back to life.

week of ups, downs:
In a rare incite for fans into the stresses and strains involved in releasing
and distributing music by an artist, Katie posted a series of Facebook posts: HERE | HERE | HERE
The
sound has now been joined for a while by the most delightful fiddle sound that
has made this single even more traditional….The
last chorus sees both Robert and Katie pull out the most beautiful of vocals
that are diametrically opposed to the harsh realities that they are singing
about.

SONGWRITER DIARIES Vol I. is a 50-part YouTube series sharing 10+ years
of unreleased music revealing the stories and personal journey behind her
earliest music. With 7 distinct themes, this collection is one of
metamorphosis, exploring the many eras Katie has moved through as a young
writer who struggled to get her work out into the world. Beginning in 2007 with
her first song, the series journeys through a decade of songs between 2010 and
2020, with the majority of tracks written between the ages of 18 and 21 (30
songs). In a bold effort to set free all that has struggled to see the light of
day, here she attempts to catch up with her extensive back catalogue, and is no
