Caitlyn Shadbolt - Stages '2020

Tracks list

About Caitlyn
Caitlyn Shadbolt hit the ground running on 2020.

Releasing her highly anticipated single, ‘Bones’ in January -
produced by Andy Mak (Vera Blue); it was the first single release since her
debut album, “Songs On My Sleeve.”

For Caitlyn, the new single set the stage for where her current mindset was at,
Bones is about chasing the dream. Its a song about persistence, passion and
trusting your gut instinct. There are always so many hurdles that come with
dreaming big, but when you love something enough, youll do it regardless. It
couldnt speak more truth for me.

The almost 25 year old has been lauded by many as ‘one to watch’
and a ‘rising star’. With her roots initially in country, Caitlyn
has progressed and developed her songwriting, guitar playing and sound into a
more polished pop country feel.

A finalist in the sixth season of The ‘X Factor’ Australia, Caitlyn
went on to secure a recording deal with ABC MUSIC and release her debut album,
Songs On My Sleeve (May 2017). Upon release, the album hit #1 on the ARIA
Country Album chart. The first single, ‘My Break Up Anthem’, held
the #1 National Country Airplay Chart for over 8 consecutive weeks and became
the 2nd most played song on Country Radio (held out of the top spot by Sam
Hunt’s monster hit Body Like A Backroad’). Caitlyn was recognised
for her achievements by winning the CMC Award for Best New Artist, along with a
nomination for Female Artist of the Year.

As Caitlyn knuckled down on preparations for her second full length album
release, STAGES, the Covid pandemic and all the various restrictions took
precedence. But where there is a will, there is a way and Caitlyn started the
recording process from her home in Gympie with producer, Stuart Stuart, in his
Brisbane Analog Heart studio. With a momentary delay, Caitlyn was able to record
and drop her 2nd single, Porcelain, in June.

As Caitlyn describes the album, “We all live our life through different
stages and this album is essentially documentation of that! All my songs tell a
story and for me, this record touches on more than just the happy and sassy
Caitlyn. There are songs that celebrate failure, songs that are more vulnerable
and songs that are straight up cheeky. This album is me, all my emotions and all
my stages in one!”

STAGES will be released this November and highlights Caitlyn’s ever
evolving musical career. With 9 out of the 10 songs co-written by Caitlyn, she
also worked with other songwriting talent including Sarah Buckley (The
Buckleys), Alana Spingsteen (US singer/songwriter), Dylan Nash (Dean Lewis) to
name a few.

Stay tuned for what this next stage has in store for Caitlyn Shadbolt.
