Voegele began gaining interest from record labels and management companies after recording a series of demos. The first demo "The Other Side" (released in 2003) was produced by multi-platinum, award winning producer Michael Seifert. Her second demo "Louder Than Words" (released in 2004) was produced by Marshall Altman. Kate signed a record deal with Myspace Records in 2006 and released her debut album "Don't Look Away" (produced by Marshall Altman) in May of 2007.
Kate Voegele recently began a recurring guest spot in six episodes of The CW television series "One Tree Hill" on Tuesday, January 22, 2008. Voegele plays Mia, a young singer and keyboardist for a rock band fronted by Jason (Kevin Federline). After Peyton (Hilarie Burton) signs the band to her upstart record label and becomes increasingly frustrated with Jason's attitude, she eventually drops him and the rest of the band, but retains Mia as a developing new artist at the insistence of Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti), who is somewhat well-versed in the music industry as well. Mia performs songs on the series from Voegele's real-life debut album "Don't Look Away" including "Kindly Unspoken" in her very first episode.
Kate Voegele performed several songs from her debut album "Don't Look Away" on the The Early Show, Saturday, February 2, 2008 on CBS television network nationally. Kate's band member Sam provided backup vocals and beat box support while Mark played the bass guitar.
In the spring, Kate embarked on a world-wind tour, opening up for the rock band Hanson on their 2008 Walk Tour and gaining a reputation in the music business that will surely be worth remembering.

One Way or Another
Kate Voegele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That it's more than a friendly game
With a smile and a "I'm gonna fight to the death" expression in her eye
You think I'm so dramatic;
Just imagining again
You come to her defense
Insisting that she's innocent
Well excuse me for wanting to be
Oh you believe there's nothing up her sleeve
Oh baby, well just wait and see
You say that love is blind
Well I say open up your eyes
She's a mastermind
She'd cheat and lie to get you to love her
Who's the victim if it doesn't make a difference now?
I'll be gone one way or another
Take a minute to see it from my side of things
Don't you think you would feel the same?
Like you still gotta play for the victory in a game
You won yesterday
I shouldn't have to fight for something that's already mine
But her pursuit of you has under-mind my peace of mind
But it's no use crying to you
You're who her plan has done the damage to
What's done is done
I should just hold my tongue
But someone's got me outdone
You say that love is blind
Well I say open up your eyes
She's a mastermind
She'd cheat and lie to get you to love her
Who's the victim if it doesn't make a difference now?
I'll be gone one way or another
You're going under, yeah
And baby, it's no wonder, no, no
Cause she's stepping up her game
She's making you a prisoner for her hall of fame
She's looking for a winner for her trophy case
And you need to consider
What you think you deserve
Is that all that you're worth?
No, no, no, no
You say that love is blind
Well I say open up your eyes
She's a mastermind
She'd cheat and lie to get you to love her
Who's the victim if it doesn't make a difference now?
I'll be gone one way or another
(You say that love is blind
Well I say open up your eyes)
You're going under
(She's a mastermind
She'd cheat and lie to get you to love her)
And baby its no wonder
(Who's the victim if it doesn't make a difference now?)
I'll be gone one way or another
I'll be gone one way or another
I'll be gone one way or another
In Kate Voegele's song "One Way or Another", the singer expresses her concerns about her partner's friendship with another woman. The lyrics suggest that the singer does not trust this woman, believing that she has designs on her partner, and that her partner is oblivious to this. The lyrics suggest that the singer feels that she is in competition with this other woman for her partner's affections and that she is losing. There is a sense of frustration and helplessness in the singer's voice, as she realizes that her partner is not taking her concerns seriously.
The repeated phrase "you say that love is blind, well I say open up your eyes" is perhaps the most telling line in the song. It suggests that the singer believes that her partner is being willfully blind to the other woman's intentions, and that he needs to see things as they really are. Throughout the song, there is a feeling of insecurity and doubt on the part of the singer, as she struggles to maintain her position in the relationship.
Overall, Kate Voegele's song "One Way or Another" is a heartfelt exploration of the complex nature of romantic relationships, and the difficulties that can arise when trust is compromised.
