Boudoir Rouge garnering favorable album reviews, steamy Wikked Lil Grrrls video debuts on YouTube



Hollywood, CA - A glamour girl enchanted by Paris and the Golden Age of Hollywood, chanteuse Le Kat has pounced on the music and video scene with a theatrical debut album and a devilishly delicious music video. Brimful of elegantly diverse jazz vocals and moody pop songs that ooze sensuality, Boudoir Rouge was released last month (February 16th) and is earning the praise of reviewers. Answering the desires of her phans, Le Kat wrote a bonus track, Lady In Lavender, in homage to the iconic character she portrayed in the classic horror film, Phantasm. Lush and inviting, Boudoir Rouge, produced by Le Kat and William Tabanou, celebrates the swank of the Jazz Age and the bluesy swagger of the modern day. Alluring and chic, Le Kat could be Marlene Dietrichs and Cole Porters love child awakened in a new era.

Peering through the keyhole of Le Kats lavish boudoir, in the Wikked Lil Grrrls tantalizing music video we are instantly drawn into her whimsical world and entrancing vignettes, exceeding ones expectations. Corseted in black satin and slinky red velvet, we are greeted by the platinum blonde temptress curvaceous hourglass figure. She brazenly takes hold of the stage strutting to the fusion of contagious Bossa Nova and samba rhythms.

With lyrical wit and vocal prowess, Le Kat is unafraid to flaunt her sultry ego and the independence of todays woman. No surprise, music critics are taking notice of Le Kat and Boudoir Rouge. Below is some of the buzz.

Smooth Jazz Daily: Her own composition More is just brilliant Ballads like the longing Desire, the self-confident Bigger Than The Both Of Us or the critical River show Le Kat's real strength, her fantastic skills as composer and singerLe Kat's Boudoir Rouge is a special work of art. A shimmering world of indecency with its own attractiveness.

Windy City Times: The stunning blonde is never short on sex appeal, as she breathlessly purrs on Coming Home and Desire. She brilliantly reinterprets I Need a Man by The Eurythmics by stripping the original's arrangements to focus on her plea. The Los Angeles-based artist also adds her own takes on Madonna's often-overlooked top 10 hit Hanky Panky and Cole Porters Keep Young and Beautiful. The bonus song Lady in Lavender is about her role in the cult film Phantasm. Le Kat, born Kathy Lester, has her hand in writing majority of the sassy numbers on Boudoir Rouge. She impressively captures a timeless essence with her robust work.
