There’s no greater happiness to be found than taking care of the little ones you love.
Born and raised in Kinsale, Ireland, before making the U.S. her home at age seven, Katherine Nagy’s musical journey was not straightforward.
Although her life has been a whirlwind, with time spent in Puerto Rico, Spain, Seattle, Chicago, and County Galway (Ireland), these seemingly competing influences would become the basis for truly special musical inspiration.
These rich influences would provide Nagy with a burning curiosity for culture and the human condition, which would eventually inspire her approach to music, which she affectionately termed “Gypsy Lady” after her childhood.
Initially, Nagy’s creative spirit was not wholly fulfilled. Instead, it would softly burn like smoldering coal while she showed her impressive ability in a different field, working as an auditor, recruiter, and retention specialist for global business consultant giant Deloitte.
However, the call of music and the ability to spend more time with her family eventually became too good to resist, with her debut EP, Gypsy Lady, and full-length 2018 album, Heartsongs, marking the arrival of a profoundly introspective and profound artist.
As a single, “Work Is My Prayer” feels like the perfect representation of all Nagy’s latest album ‘Sweetlove,’ is supposed to embody. It’s warm, sweet, and accessible; something to throw on at the end of a long day or by a warm crackling fire or rainy day.
In short, “Work Is My Prayer” feels comforting, with a minimalist instrumental performance meshing perfectly with Nagy’s matronly vocals as she tenderly sings lines like “My work is my prayer / If there’s a heaven I'll get there” and “Plus, taking care of you is how I pray.” Inspired by her childhood, every line on “Work Is My Prayer” is sung sincerely.
Katherine Nagy’s latest release, “Work Is My Prayer,” is a tender, heartwarming tribute to the warmth of a grandmother’s love and perfectly represents the simple charm her latest album, ‘Sweetlove,’ exemplifies as well.
