Sacramento, CA–August 21st 2025– Katie Knipp, the four-time Billboard Blues charting artist
known for her powerhouse vocals, songwriting, and fearless genre-bending, announces the
upcoming release of her highly anticipated ninth studio album, Dance Me. With this record,
Knipp boldly steps into the world of electronica, fusing pulsing beats, cinematic textures, and
her unmistakable voice into a body of work that is both adventurous and deeply personal.
Best known for her award-winning work in the blues world, Knipp has never shied away from
pushing boundaries. Dance Me represents her most daring creative departure yet- an album
that blends downtempo grooves, experimental synth layers, and rhythmic explorations with the
raw emotional storytelling her fans have always cherished. Spearheaded by world renowned
producer and bassist Pancho Tomaselli, 8 tracks based of of her top 5 Billboard Blues
album Me have been completely reimagined. This new sonic wardrobe features House, Drum &
Bass, Neo-Soul, Electro-Funk, Big Beat Techno, Rock Reggae, Metal, and Trip-Hop.
“This album is about freedom,” Knipp says, “I wanted to create music that makes you move
while also taking you somewhere deeper- where dance meets reflection, and electronic
soundscapes hold hands with human emotion.”
Highlights of Dance me include tracks that pull listeners through an array of moods- from
hypnotic bass-driven anthems to lush, atmospheric sound worlds- cementing Knipp as an artist
who refuses to be confined by any single genre.
Dance Me will be available on vinyl, CD, and all major streaming platforms October 24th 2025.
