One of our favourite rising artists, Karen Harding is currently unveiling her latest EP. We recently featured the dramatic and emotive title-track, I’ve Got A Secret, so we were anticipating the release of the next instalment, Til The Ocean Meets The Shore, which just came out!
Til The Ocean Meets The Shore opens with dimensional acoustic guitar as Karen sings introspectively, “I spent so long, hiding from myself, I put my fears upon the upper shelf…”
We learn that Til The Ocean Meets The Shore was written during the Melbourne, Australia pandemic lockdowns, and is a deeply reflective story that dives into “challenges felt and a realisation of how far we have come, and the determination that we can truly achieve anything we put our mind to, if we do not give in.”
Karen Harding always shares her message with authenticity and poetic prowess, and Til The Ocean Meets The Shore is no different. We appreciate the depth and vulnerability of her artistry, and love the immersive soundscape that she creates with her being and soul.
The four track EP, I’ve Got A Secret is being released one single at a time, each month, and will be available in its entirety by October 2022. The EP will be available for purchase via Bandcamp in digital download and CD formats.
Building her repertoire, with six single releases under her belt, Karen has been steadily growing her following and name, having won the November 2021 Bendigo Bank sponsored Independent Songwriter Talent Show on Radio Eastern FM in Melbourne, Australia, for her single, Anxiety, Top 10 winner for the World Songwriting Awards, for her single, Something Special and a nominee for Best International Artist on Crags Radio Independent Artist Awards in February 2022.
We love the vibe that Karen shares, and Til The Ocean Meets The Shore is another masterpiece which channels the unrivalled genuine energy that Karen shares with her sound. We have added the song to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Karen Harding‘s wider discography and anticipate the release of the EP!
