Entertainment World has described Kim Kline as "The Industry's Next Diva." By definition "diva," simply stated, means 'a distinguished female singer.' Although, it appears as though Kim Kline has raised the bar on the meaning of this term.
A Texas native, Kim Kline uplifted her roots and has recently taken Los Angeles by storm. Building an ever-increasing fan base throughout the Southern California region, Kline continues to draw formidable crowds in such world-famous venues as Los Angeles' Viper Room and Roxy Theatre. Kline has also marked out her own, substantial corner on MySpace, thus, earning herself an ever-increasing national and international fan base.
Not only has Kim Kline found herself an insatiable fan following but she has also won over the press both here in the states, as well as overseas. The Music Edge has given her material an 'A' rating and states, "Her voice is impressive and the songs she writes genuinely have a lot of depth…She not only has the looks that seem to be paramount for a female in order to have success in the music business, but she also has talent, which is a rare combination. She won't be an unsigned artist for long." The Music Connection states that, "Kim Kline has a distinct and powerful voice, and the talent to write professional songs" and recently featured her in their Best Kept Secret showcase series. EnFuse Magazine states, "Kim Kline's performances abound with an intense connection that she shares with her audience and the passion, which pours straight from her soul upon the crowd. Reminiscent of such legends as Pat Benatar in her energy and Tom Petty in his true rock n' roll flair."
Thus the question, 'has Rock n' Roll found its next Diva?' The answer is undoubtedly yes. As Unsigned Music Magazine states "Kim Kline has the total package." Kim Kline has already proven herself to be a musical force to be reckoned with and that she will grow to be a dominant female voice in the years to come. - Billboard Publicity Wire

Surfacing from the small-town Texas pageant circuit and finding her way to the wilds of Hollywood’s Viper Room, Kim Kline is an all-American paradox: a sheer blast of piss and vinegar wrapped in a sugar-sweet package. A singer/songwriter in the vein of Tom Petty with the rock-and-roll sensibility of Pat Benatar fused with Lita Ford, Ms. Kline has set out to remind the music industry of its greatest strength – kick-ass musicians who write their own material. Inspired by her mother’s love of classic rock, Kim was raised on a regular diet of Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, ZZ Top, AC/DC. When most toddlers were cutting their teeth on Sesame Street, Kim was ascending Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven. Growing up, Kim has known her fair share of hard knocks and unexpected tragedy, and she harnesses the power of that narrative in her songwriting. Honesty and raw emotion are the cornerstones of her artistry and they bleed into each of her songs. Her self-titled debut, which has been trumpeted in the media as showcasing “the makings of a true rock superstar,” features some trenchant, hard-hitting material. “Sick Reality” is a vitriolic confrontation of a relationship built on duplicity; its angry guitar riffs a rebuff to anyone who’d consider doing her harm. On the other end of the spectrum, “Hush Lullaby” features a softer edge and deals with the pain of losing a piece of your family, and the myriad emotions that accompany that loss. Ms. Kline isn’t accustomed to sitting down with the intent of writing music, preferring to scribble down lyrics on a napkin in LAX while waiting to board a flight back to Texas. Rather than pick up the phone to bitch to a friend when a mood overtakes her, she hums melodies to herself. This impulse to write music spontaneously, trusting her gut, accounts for the visceral T.K.O.s the album delivers time after time. However, the true litmus test of an artist is how well their music translates to live performance. And in this regard, Ms. Kline has few peers. Her audiences are treated to the blood, sweat and tears of a true performer who relishes the opportunity to connect with her fans. Crowds are left rapt at the increasingly rare spectacle of a woman, makeup falling to the wayside by the end of the evening, wearing her emotions on her sleeve.
