Cat Cosmai is a Staten Island, New York-based soul/r&b singer, steeped in the grand tradition of the great soul divas of old while adding her own gritty, modern punch to her own music. Her voice has been hailed for its hybrid of the various expressions of R&B, from classic to contemporary, but Cosmai's voice is something unto its own. She currently plays in a few bands, but is most at home as a solo artist as, with partner and collaborator Frank Schiazza, she is responsible for some of the most hip and imaginative music on the scene.

Pretty Stranger
Pretty Stranger Track number: 4 Year: 2012 Album: The Line Genre: R&B
"Pretty Stranger" is the debut single from Cat Cosmai, one of today's most unique and talented new artists. Cosmai is a Staten Island-based soul/r&b singer, steeped in the grand tradition of the great soul divas while adding her own modern punch to her own music. Her voice has been hailed for its hybrid of Mariah Carey's 90's soul wailing, Bonnie Bramlett's 70's blues belting and Adele's heart-aching cries of love, but Cosmai's voice is something unto its own - something that has to be heard to be understood.

Line in the Sand
Line in the Sand Track number: 3 Year: 2012 Album: The Line Genre: R&B
This is "Line in the Sand" the third single off THE LINE, the debut album of Cat Cosmai, one of New York's most dynamic and vibrant young artists. "Line in the Sand" is Cosmai at her most melodic, performing a song akin to Carole King's heart-warming hits of the early 70's, laced with Cosmai's own modern sentiment. Shimmering backing vocals, gliding piano & Cat's own impassioned lead vocal helps to frame the song, which is as impressive as any on the airwaves today. (Written and produced by Frank Schiazza.)
