Katie Mullins’ song ‘Crocuses’ is an a capella style song which has a strong Gaelic feel to it. It’s part of ‘Three Songs’, a triptych of songs she wrote at a time when she thought she would never write or sing again.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

‘Three Songs’ is Mullins’ third album; it contains three songs; and it comes after she had haemorrhaged her left vocal chord…for the third time. Believing that her performing career was over, she entered a time of meditation, and her injury was healed, seemingly miraculously. The artist spent six years performing opera in Germany, as well as a three year placement at the Komische Oper in Berlin, where she lived for most of her 20s. She returned to the US last year, and divides her time between Brooklyn, and upstate New York.<\/p>\n
