Ever since she released her stunning debut single ‘Out Of Air’ in the latter half of last year, US artist KARINA has been on an exceptional rise. Spending much of the last few months building and cultivating a distinctive direction for herself, she has been busy delivering some truly exciting alt-pop gems to add to her ever-growing repertoire to date. And with the praise and acclaim still building for her, she now returns to unveil her eagerly-awaited debut album ‘what happened to the little girl?’, a release that cements those shimmering ideals throughout.

What has made KARINA such an exceptional talent on the rise has been her ability to project strong and identifiable emotions within her work, and this is exactly what we get with ‘what happened to the little girl?’. Building upon those fresh and explorative ventures she has been working towards these last few months, this new eight-track collection is a shining example of her vibrant direction of late, heightening an already excellent array of releases under her belt.

For an artist that has literally just appeared on the scene, KARINA seems to have the swagger of an act with many more years of experience under her belt. Moving with such effortless finesse from one track to the next, she is definitely someone we need to keep a firm eye on for the months ahead as well.
