1) The project of singer-songwriter Nathan Allebach
2) Earl, female singer-songwriter (previously Kate Earl)
1) "Earl" is the most recent project of singer-songwriter Nathan Allebach who formed the local collaboration "Earl & Raine". They released one full length album in October of 2011, but Nathan soon went on to start fresh with music he could call his own.
Based out of the Schwenksville area, he hosts the weekly open mic at Steel City Coffee House in Phoenixville, books and promotes concert events at Rock Cafe in Harleysville, and has been performing in the Philadelphia scene for three years, as well as playing with local bands "Oh Constantine" and "Former Belle".
Earl is currently is the studio recording his debut album "Beginnings" scheduled to be released in the spring with songs resonating the likes of City & Colour, The Decemberists, Rocky Votolato, and David Bazan.
2) Earl is a female American singer-songwriter based in the U.K, currently.
Earl was born to Charles and Pomposa Smithson in Anchorage, Alaska. She is of Filipino, Dutch and Welsh descent. She began playing piano at 4, sang in her church choir, and began playing the guitar when she was seventeen. The young singer nursed the dream to lead a musician's life in between shifts at her parent’s small-town gas station. That dream became a reality when Kate moved to Los Angeles in 2004, where her talent was promptly recognized and led to a record deal with The Record Collection. Her debut album, Fate Is the Hunter, was released in May 2005 under the name 'Kate Earl'.
After releasing 2 more studio albums under this name (self-titled 'Kate Earl' and 'Stronger'), Earl moved to the U.K. and began to pursue an independent musician life. She released an independent EP via Pledgemusic ('Ransom') under that name before striping it down completely to 'Earl'. Taking to music once more with a new name, she began to approach her music differently, returning to jazz roots and fussing pop and catchy melodies which garnered the attention of BBC Radio 2 several times over before she was interviewed by Dermot O'Leary live on BBC Radio 2.
In 2015, Earl released single 'Good Witch'.
In 2016, Earl released single 'I Love You.'
In 2017, Earl released single 'Tongue Tied' and announced that she was working on a new studio album.

Earl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He was living with my grandmother on the North side of Sacramento
But this fag ain't just visiting, he's settling in
He can't wait to start meddling and doing the evil shit we do
Does he skate, yeah he skate too
Man, this nigga ugly and he raps, ooh
This the newest Wolf Gang member
And he, what's his name, Earl
Nigga, this nigga's forehead is so fuckin' big
This nigga, look at this fuckin' nigga lips, dog
This nigga's lips look like a split sundae
Yo this nigga's line is bended, that's fucked up
Yo this nigga, this nigga look like a African poet
Earl, say somethin'
Yo this nigga's forehead looks like a fuckin' big-ass moose
Nigga, don't be nervous nigga, say somethin' trust me guys, he can rap
He a bitch, just say somethin'
Nigga, don't be a bitch nigga, say somethin'
Nigga, rap, you fuckin' suck probably
Trust me guys, he can rap, just say somethin'
The lyrics of Earl's song "Thisniggaugly" portray the rapper introducing his little brother on his mother's side, who had been living with their grandmother in North Sacramento after their father's death. Earl expresses his disdain towards his brother's eagerness to meddle and participate in the "evil shit" they do, while also acknowledging his brother's talent for skating and rapping. The lines "This nigga ugly and he raps, ooh / This the newest Wolf Gang member / And he, what's his name, Earl" suggest that Earl's brother is a new member of his rap collective, Wolf Gang, but also reveals Earl's judgmental attitude towards the brother's physical appearance.
The next part of the song sees Earl and his friends mocking his brother's physical features, particularly his forehead, lips, and hairline, while urging him to rap for them. The line "He a bitch, just say somethin'" implies that Earl's brother is nervous or scared to perform in front of them, but Earl insists that he can rap and encourages him to showcase his talent.
The lyrics of "Thisniggaugly" showcase Earl's use of derogatory language and offensive behavior towards his own brother, revealing a toxic and harmful dynamic in their relationship. The song also highlights the pressure and expectations placed upon artists to impress their peers within the rap community.
