Following the success of her first two releases, I Didn’t Realise and I Heard Somebody Talking, Karen Harding is releasing a very different sounding single, ‘Anxiety’ on Friday 5th November 2021.
The track is aimed at starting a conversation surrounding the very real challenges that many people face in their experience of Anxiety. The discussion is designed to acknowledge the experiences that many are facing with Anxiety, during and post Covid-19 lockdowns and to provide some tools to help them move through these challenges.
“So many of us are affected by anxiety every day and Covid-19 has only heightened these experiences. For me, anxiety has been a real challenge, however, has become something that I have been able to learn and grow through.. I want to share my experience of anxiety through the song and to open up some discussion in the hope that someone can discover a sense of peace.”
Mixed and Mastered by producer, Joshua Hennessy, the track was born out of Covid-19 lockdowns and being unable to get into the studio to record an EP that had been planned. Karen began the recording process of this track and then worked very closely with Joshua Hennessy to create the sound that you currently hear in the single.
Karen was raised, surrounded by the sounds of a plethora of classic and deep, emotive artists, such as Leonard Cohen, Tracy Chapman, Bonnie Rait and Sarah McLaughlin, just to name a few, Karen always had an incredible passion and love for everything music.
She began to play the piano at the age of 6 and began formal singing lessons at the age of 14. At the age of 21, Karen was in a cover duo, playing around Melbourne for many years. These gave her the foundations which are the basis of her current musical Journey.
