New music from Karen Harding

Karen Harding is the Melbourne-based songstress who’s been turning heads in Australia and beyond with her timeless songwriting charm and vocal prowess. Offering a delicate acoustic folk sound, centred on storytelling lyrical writing that expresses raw emotion and relatable human experience, she’s been compared to the likes of Eva Cassidy, Sarah McLachlan and Karen Carpenter.

Making her introduction in May last year, she released her debut single “I Didn’t Realise”, going on to receive critical acclaim and recognition for her talent. A year ago this month she won the Bendigo Bank sponsored Independent Songwriter Talent Show on Radio Eastern FM in Melbourne for her third song “Anxiety” and with her following release “Something Special”, she was a Top 10 winner for the World Songwriting Awards as well as receiving a nomination for Best International Artist on Crags Radio Independent Artist Awards in February this year.

Earlier this month she dropped her debut EP titled I’ve Got A Secret, featuring four songs showcasing her best work to date. Bringing us the final track from the album, she shares her latest release with the new single “Letter To My Friend”.

Featuring her most personal and intimate songwriting on the EP, with “Letter To My Friend” Karen Harding lays down a beautifully moving sound of elegant singer-songwriter music. With a stripped back arrangement of gentle picked acoustic guitar and subtle piano and string touches, her captivating vocals are given room to shine through, allowing her emotive lyricism to hit home that much more.

Once again delivering songwriting in its purest form to rival the very best, on her new single the artist closes a dazzling EP with a truly wonderful new single.
