One Tree Hill Clips

Kate Voegele talks about her new album, Gravity Happens and the 'One Tree Hill ...

Kate recently stopped by iHeartRadio to perform a few tracks from her new album and chat about "One Tree Hill." Check out some highlights from the interview and a few clips from her impromptu performance!

On why she named the album after the title track, "Gravity Happens":

"The truth of the matter is that you sort of realize – which I did in the last few years – that bad stuff is going to happen and hard times are going to present themselves, but it’s all about how you deal with it. Whether big or small... 'gravity' represents anything that has the ability to seemingly bring you down. The song is about getting through that and rising above it, and I wanted to name the record that because so many things that I have seen and been through in the last 2 years have really taught me how to be brave when gravity happens, so I thought, what a perfect thing to call this record."

On performing "Heart in Chains" on the season finale of "One Tree Hill":

"Without giving to much away... I think it’s gonna be really cool because on the show they do such an amazing job of recreating what it feels like to be at a big concert. I’m really excited for people to see the song in that context... it was really fun to shoot. Fans are gonna get to tune in to the finale, see me play the song, and then they can buy the record that day on iTunes or wherever. That’s crazy!"

On how "One Tree Hill" has affected her career as a musician:

"'One Tree Hill' has been an amazing tool to showcase my songs to a great fanbase. The fans of the show are such dedicated fans. It’s affected my music career so positively in the way that when people come to my show, the fans have connected so much with the music, and they’re excited about 'One Tree Hill' but they’re not coming there to meet Mia, they’re coming to hear Kate Voegele songs, which is really awesome for me.As much as 'One Tree Hill' is such an unbelievable outlet for my music, it’s cool that my music can exist separate from the show and that people aren’t attaching everything all the time."

On getting the part of Mia:

"I had made a first record and had been signed and was excited about going on the road and putting my record out, and I heard about this audition so I was like, 'Well I might as well do it.' It was supposed to be for a few episodes. I got the part kind of unexpectedly; I had never acted before so I was really surprised to get the part. Four seasons later I’m still here! It turned into four seasons from four episodes, and it’s been awesome.

One Tree Hill Review: Bird of Mouth - TV Fanatic

For how it handled the River Court story in " Flightless Bird, American Mouth ."  On a show that is quite melodramatic to begin with, it easily could have taken a plot about the memorable historic landmark of the town and gone way over the top with it.

Instead the series used a camping session, Clay's out of left field quirkiness, and the continued evolution of the Chase and Chuck relationship, to lay the ground work for what ended up being a really sweet moment for the court, the show, and Marvin McFadden.

I was glad that the one person still on the program regularly who actually grew up on the River Court was able to shine in that moment. Sure, Nathan trained with Q for about a fraction of a second on that court, but he spent his entire life in the gym or in his driveway. This was Lucas's court, and it's just a shame that he wasn't there to help save it.

As we segued back to the camping and Clay's third new personality in as many episodes, I enjoyed this one. His hatred of camping worked perfectly... and only slightly because I share his sentiment. It's just always funny to have someone hating on what everyone else is doing, and it helped that he was wearing that Boitano shirt and sitting in a recliner.

It is more difficult every week to not mention how great the Chase and Chuck dynamic is. You know it's fantastic when that moment that Chuck heard that Chase was leaving for the Air Force hurt me just as much as it seemed to hurt the youngster. Chuck went in for the hug with a "I don't want you to go," and then performed that mini speech about his dad leaving, proving once again that Michael May has some serious acting chops for a 12-year old.

Before we move on to the beauty of Puerto Rico, let's mention how James Lafferty made up for the awful "Adams, Baker, and Scolnik...it's like a bad lawfirm" line of dialogue with a pretty solid conversation between Nathan and Julian about kids, parents, and pregnancies. It's difficult to keep a secret in Tree Hill, that's certain.

It's hard to complain about the gorgeous scenery we witnessed as the girls went to Puerto Rico for Quinn's fashion shoot. Also, the location was pretty! (See what I did there?) Honestl,y though, it's tough to have a scene where two girls are astonished by another female's good looks when the first two ladies are Sophia Bush and Jana Kramer. I'm just saying.

While it wasn't as interesting as what was happening back on the mainland, the girls having themselves a good time was fun and entertaining. Watching Brooke toss shots of tequila over her shoulder was enough to please me for the entire hour. I was glad that Quinn noticed it, though, because Brooke was pretty deliberate in her actions.
