Listen to KARMAA's Track "VICES", Off Her Newly Released EP "this is ME"
/If you are a fan of Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, and Iggy Azalea, then you will love the newly released 5-track EP, “this is ME”, which was just dropped by Texas based artist and mental health advocate KARMAA. Speaking about her background and artistry, KARMAA says,
“KARMAA is only a small part of who I am and was brought here to be. Music has been a part of who I am since I can remember. It's like breathing for me. Whether I'm listening to the radio, creating music myself, or even thinking of lyrics, music just stays in circulation. It's how I communicate my deepest thoughts, my every goal, and my biggest fears. I am a big advocate for mental health awareness, equality and paying it forward.
I intend to be a difference maker and a leader of change. I've never been one to stick to the rules and never intend to follow the crowd. I was raised to be who I am and to be proud of it. My ultimate goal is to inspire the uninspired and change lives by being able to relate to others and talk about "taboo" topics that others don't like to or won't acknowledge and speak on such as being queer, battling depression and anxiety, having had suicidal thoughts, etc.
Being part of the LGBTQ community I want those discovering themselves to know they're not alone. This has heavily influenced many of my songs and is a known fact about me. I want people to know that it's okay to be proud of who you are and love yourself. Show your pride and never be ashamed of it. Live and love your life, love yourself and others shamelessly, and embrace who you are. There's only one you, flaunt it.”
All five of the tracks on “this is ME” are DOPE, but the one that we want to showcase for you now is “VICES”, which, as KARMAA puts it, “…describes the constant battle in life of feeling like I'm in rock bottom and can't get out. I'm not enough. No matter what I do, the pain never lets up. I'm not the person my family wanted and I'm not where I hoped to be. Everyday feels like I'm slowly going deeper and deeper into the quick sand.”
