Karen Harding Faces Post-Covid 19 Challenges Head On With Her Single, ‘Anxiety’

Karen Harding drops a new song called “Anxiety”.  Following the success of her first two releases, I Didn’t Realise and I Heard Somebody Talking, Karen Harding is releasing a very different-sounding single, ‘Anxiety’ on Friday 5th November 2021. The track is aimed at starting a conversation surrounding the very real challenges that many people face in their experience of Anxiety and will be paired with an interview with Anna The Anxiety Coach.

The discussion is designed to acknowledge the experiences that many are facing with Anxiety, during and post Covid-19 lockdowns and to provide some tools to help them move through these challenges. “So many of us are affected by anxiety every day and Covid-19 has only heightened these experiences. For me, anxiety has been a real challenge, however, has become something that I have been able to learn and grow through.. I want to share my experience of anxiety through the song and to open up some discussion in the hope that someone can discover a sense of peace.”

Mixed and Mastered by producer, Joshua Hennessy, the track was born out of Covid-19 lockdowns and was unable to get into the studio to record an EP that had been planned. Karen began the recording process of this track and then worked very closely with Joshua Hennessy to create the sound that you currently hear in the single.

Karen was raised, surrounded by the sounds of a plethora of classic and deep, emotive artists, such as Leonard Cohen, Tracy Chapman, Bonnie Rait, and Sarah McLaughlin, just to name a few, Karen always had an incredible passion and love for everything music. She began to play the piano at the age of 6 and began formal singing lessons at the age of 14. At the age of 21, Karen was in a cover duo, playing around Melbourne for many years. These gave her the foundations which are the basis of her current musical Journey.

Mamas Gun and Brian Jackson shines light on the truth on latest release “DIG!”

Mamas Gun

Mamas Gun makes a strong comeback with their new single “DIG!.” The track sounds more like a strong statement of intent than just a release. The UK band is known for its smooth blend of blue-eyed soul and traditional black music. They show once again that they can make music that sounds both thoughtful and very new, while still being real, emotional, and sophisticated.

“DIG!” was recorded directly onto analogue tape, and every note has warmth, grit, and soul. The production choice gives the music a rich, natural sound that complements the band’s unique groove. It is a piece of music that makes people slow down, really listen, and experience it rather than hear it.

Adding famous collaborator Brian Jackson, whose vocals, keyboard, and flute give the song a timeless elegance, adds even more depth and magic. Jackson is known for working with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Gil Scott-Heron, Roy Ayers, and Earth, Wind & Fire. His addition makes the song something truly special. His reunion with Andy Platts, the lead singer of Mamas Gun, almost twenty years after they first worked together creatively in New York, gives “DIG!” a very personal touch that can be felt throughout. “DIG!” sets a strong mood based on connection, art, and essence. Mamas Gun not only goes back to their roots but also makes them stronger. This song is heartfelt, timeless, and completely captivating.

Bromsen crafts a suspension between attachment and release in new single “Concendrain”

Bromsen

Bromsen’s latest release, “Concendrain,” is very immersive and lives in the space between control and disintegration. The song smoothly shifts from focused to tired, from connected to free, and captures a complex emotional balance that is both personal and universal.

“Concendrain” starts slowly and carefully, the structure has layers that change over time, so each part can come out on its own without any stress or hurry. As time goes on, electronic textures begin to emerge, giving the music a mood that eventually turns into rock-infused energy. These different sounds don’t clash, they work together to create a track that is alive, fluid, and always changing.

The guitar, voice, and rhythm should all work together on the song. These parts don’t compete for attention; instead, they work together to make a smooth flow that pulls the listener into the song’s emotional depth. The arrangement features vocals that complement complex guitar lines and a steady beat that keeps everything in line.

“Concendrain” is really interesting because it has two sides. The track is about the fight in your head between giving up and pushing through, and between staying focused and giving in to tiredness. Bromsen and Reatsch work together to make something that looks natural and well-made. “Concendrain” doesn’t try to be cool or follow trends. Instead, it gives you a slow experience that you should really pay attention to. “Concendrain” is a powerful and thought-provoking work that sticks with you long after the last note has faded away. It stands out because its structure changes, its atmosphere is rich, and its emotions are strong.
