About This Album
There are times when a burgeoning artist may get caught in the machinations of the recording industry, and the resulting product that gets released may not truly reflect her or his vision or personality. Kara Williamson seems to have had this experience. In 2002, she released a debut disc full of percolating dance-pop numbers under the single moniker of Kara. That persona and sound apparently felt like a musical masquerade, and for her second disc Williamson has boldly shed that fabricated layer to expose herself Undisguised. For this new phase in her recorded career, Williamson reattaches the last name and reveals herself as a singer/songwriter with the heart of a rocker. This pronouncement is immediately felt in the forceful opening song, "Bring It On," where the quiet plunked notes of a piano crash into a chorus of guitars. This time around, Williamson makes her message heard in a style more in tune with Michelle Branch or Kelly Clarkson, rather than the plastic beats from her debut. The change is highly successful, with Williamson sounding more natural, comfortable, and confident in this new format. Although the balance of songs on Undisguised do not rock quite as hard as "Bring It On," there are strong numbers throughout the disc.
