Karen Harding’s new single “Stranger On A Pedestal” is a captivating addition to her repertoire. Having previously reviewed her single “Imaginary Boyfriend” I wasn’t surprised by the beauty and emotion Harding brings to her music. This self-produced track opens with an acoustic guitar by Gabb Matos that immediately draws you in, setting a simple yet enchanting foundation for Harding’s voice. Her pure charming vocals quickly take center stage leaving you mesmerized and eager to hit repeat.
The lyrics of this song explore the poignant moment when the person you’ve admired from afar reveals their human flaws. Harding’s honest and beautifully written words mesh perfectly with her captivating vocal melodies which create a heartfelt and relatable narrative. The production is simple and allows her voice and the acoustic guitar to shine.
I really love how Karen Harding manages to infuse such raw emotion into her music. “Stranger On A Pedestal” is not just a song, it’s an experience that stays with you long after it ends. Her musical skills and vocal abilities are impressive and I can’t wait to see what she creates next.
