LA-based artist CARLEY is a breath of fresh air for pop and R&B lovers. Her latest release, the EP “12:34,” is full of positive, upbeat, and motivational tracks that don’t neglect to bring all of the fun of radio-ready contemporaries like Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter. With roots in Katy, TX, and a foundation in musical theater, her work is full of soulful, powerful vocals and lyrics that can only be described as, “fierce.”
The title track highlights the theme of the EP, that serendipitous messages are always pointing us in the right direction. She sings over synth pads, “I’m on the right track, doin’ big things./ Yeah my future is calling me.” She began to see the numbers 1234 everywhere in sequence after a big move, career uncertainty, and heartache.
“1234 is confirmation you’re on the right path,” she shares. “It’s a symbol to let go of beliefs that no longer serve you. 1234 is a reminder of your potential, to believe in yourself and keep going.”
