Artist on the Rise Karisa Brings in “Endless Summer”
Canadian songstress Karisa enthralls listeners once more with her latest EP “Endless Summer”, released on July 26, 2024. With synths, drums, and guitar riffs that evoke the spirit of the 1980s and early 2000s, the EP vividly captures the essence of summer, setting a perfect backdrop for nostalgic reflections on sun-drenched memories.
“The lyrics describe coastal settings in all three songs, painting an image in the listener’s mind of the perfect “California dream.” The lyrical transitions from day to night or sunset to darkness are brought in to symbolize the end of this imagery, creating the feeling of these memories and days coming to an end.
Night Waves pays homage to the Vaporwave sound movement, while also using house synths and a catchy pop chorus. The song explores the feelings of trust and betrayal.
Coastal Dreams is inspired by the new wave electronic music (New Order, The Cure, Psychedelic Furs) from the 1980s mixed with modern Euro dance melodies. The song brings a nostalgic feel with a modern and unique twist. It captures the feeling of being young and free, driving along the Pacific Coast and following your heart.
Mirage is mixed with 1980s guitar riffs and mid-western pop-punk sounds to create an energetic alternative vibe. It takes inspiration from Don Henley’s “Boys of Summer” and Avril Lavigne’s debut album “Let Go.”
Whether you find yourself dancing barefoot on the beach at sunset or cruising along coastal highways with the windows down, “Endless Summer” is an essential addition to your summer playlist, seamlessly blending into every moment of your sun-soaked adventures.
