Vancouver-based singer-songwriter Karina Morin makes music under the moniker Kärma Sounds, an endeavour that’s seen her make a growing impression on Canada’s music scene through a sound that’s all her own. With a stunning voice and compelling songwriting flair, Kärma Sounds frames her personal experiences of love, heartbreak and healing into an alluring musical output.
Her debut single, “Let’s Stay Home Tonight,” dropped in September of last year and since then, Kärma Sounds has caught the attention of more and more listeners around the world while staking her claim as a must-watch act on the rise. Since her debut, she’s added to her discography with multiple impressive singles as well as remixes from the likes of TED-D, East Blvd, Myles Bigelow, The Groove Supplier and Mr Stee.
Now, coming off the back of her disco pop outing “Flavor,” she brings us her latest release with the new single titled “My Wings,” this time leaning into a soulful rock sound. Co-written with her partner, Karl Oystensen and recorded at Echoplant Studios, “My Wings” delivers an empowering anthem of resilience, based on themes of heartbreak and the exhilarating freedom of rediscovery.
Drawing on her R&B inspirations and wrapped her enamouring voice in a retro-tinged aesthetic, “My Wings” filters a vintage sound through a modern lens. Driven by the snap of grooving beats, slick guitar-led instrumentation is capped by a spectacular vocal display that sees Kärma Sounds’ voice glide beautifully above the arrangement, lifted by stacked layers of lush backing vocals.
Brought in by the mellow bounce of instrumental tones, the smooth punch of drums ushers in her expressive vocals as she threads instantly catchy melodies into the shimmering sonic fabric. With pulsing bass lines and lightly processed guitar textures cut with intricate lead licks, the track serves up a sepia-toned soundscape where Kärma Sounds’ songwriting shines and her vocal performance truly dazzles.
It’s an incredible showcase of her talent that continues to confirm the hype that surrounds her inevitable rise. Infectious and meaningful in equal measure, “My Wings” offers an utterly gorgeous sound that’s impossible not to love. Commenting on the single, she shares, “This song is for anyone who’s ever felt the weight of a broken heart. I wanted to create something that helps people heal—an anthem for finding your wings and learning to soar again after the pain.”
