Enter Cathy Burton: songwriter - performer - scholar - teacher - pupil - and all the rest that you could possibly hope for. A voice that hurts as well as it heals, an attitude as honest as it is determined, an artist standing at the foot of an epic canvas, about to paint in her future.
A music scholar first, Cathy's craft has been developed over years of study. Teaching piano brought its own lessons, as did working alongside a range of artists in a range of capacities. From scoring to supporting, providing backing vocals to co-writing alongside some serious talent, Cathy's breadth of experience has turned her into a singer-songwriter with plenty to say and plenty with of ways of saying it.
Live at the Big Day OutCathy's support duties have taken her all over Europe and into venues such as Brixton Academy, Shepherds Bush Empire and Manchester Apollo. Her co-writes have seen her seated next to the likes of Ricky Ross (Deacon Blue) and Paul Statham (writer of Dido's hit "Here With Me").
Such experience lead her to the recording and release of her debut album, "Burn Out" (2002). As titles go, it turned out be less than prophetic: sales proved that Cathy was rapidly building a core base of dedicated, intelligent fans, who lie a little less froth on their latte.
What followed were further tours, supports and growth, all the time with Cathy focussed on the next project, and now "Speed Your Love" is ready, willing and able. This time the album includes some collaborations with other writers such as Ricky Ross, (Deacon Blue), Mark Kerr (Simple Minds) and Kevin Hunter, (Simple Minds/Sheryl Crow). Gig highlights of the year have included, Glastonbury Festival, La Fete de l'Espoir (Geneva), supporting Ricky Ross, Paul Carrack, Kris Kristofferson (Carling Apollo Hammersmith) and appearing at the Purcell Rooms, as part of a Kashmir Klub special event. Most of her travels at the moment remain around the UK playing crowds, anything from 50 to 25,000.
And the record; It showcases a harder edged set of melodies and accompaniments, but travels in a land where melody still is the stardust, harmony the sunrise on a view crying out for fresh life.
As for Speed Your Love's inspiration, it comes from a range of sources: "it was in the oven for a year, so there's a range of themes: falling in love, dealing with loss, seeing prodigals come home, dealing with the frustration of a compassion that is full on one day, but invisible the next."
So Cathy's story arrives at her second album that stalks wider success with a well placed sense of determination. A range of talents suspended in perfect harmony. A future canvas whose watermark is coming through day by day.

This is how we know what love is
Just one look at Your cross
And this is where we see
This is where we see how love works
For You surrendered Your all
That You have loved us first
This is where we chose
To love You in return
For You so loved the world
That You gave Your only Son
Love amazing, so divine
We will love You in return
For this life that You give
For this death that You have died
Love amazing, so divine
We will love You in reply, Lord
This is how we know
This is how we know what love is
Just one look at Your cross
And this is where we see
This is where we see how love works
For You surrendered Your all
And this is how we know

This is where we chose
To love You in return
For You so loved the world
That You gave Your only Son
Love amazing, so divine

The song "This Is How We Know" by Cathy Burton is an ode to Christ's love and sacrifice. The chorus repeats 'This is how we know what love is, just one look at Your cross. And this is where we see how love works, for You surrendered Your all.' The lyrics explain that through the actions and sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, we understand what love truly is. Through this surrender, we see how love works and recognize that Christ loved us first, which inspires us to love Him in return.
The song emphasizes the incredible nature of Christ's love by stating that 'For You so loved the world that You gave Your only Son. Love amazing, so divine, we will love You in return.' The recognition of this love prompts an outpouring of worship and gratitude from the singers, who promise to live their lives in service to Christ and to glorify Him in all that they do. The song ends with the repeated mantra of 'King Jesus we love You, for we have been loved' driving home the centrality of Jesus Christ's love in their lives.
