The first thing that comes to mind when listening to Karen Atkins is positivity; packing her music with playful and uplifting vibes, the Mexico-based songstress champions empowering lyricism drenched in collective experience and emotional stylings. Take for instance ‘Somebody’, Atkins’ latest effort. Built around the idea that everyone will meet their other half, sooner or later, the song functions as a surprisingly positive anthem in an otherwise cloudy and dark reality.
Sonically, it’s textbook pop; developed over a cheerful and groovy pop arrangement, ‘Somebody’ is simple in its formula, yet heart-warming and catchy towards any keen listener. Karen’s vocals feel evocative and dynamic, wrapping the listener in nuanced euphoria and hopeful imagery.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the record, Atkins explains: “Lovers everywhere know that magical instant where they’re certain that they’re exactly where they’re meant to be. They’ve found their partner, everything seems exactly right, and the future opens up like a flower. If you’ve been there, it’s unlikely that you’ll ever forget it”.
