After a few years break while getting married and starting a new family Karissa is back with a great new single Forbidden Desires, that she says is her favourite to date and all about Passion, Frustration and making a choice.
Soundslikecafe have been watching karissa’s career with interest since her first releases made it onto the early CD versions and now are proud to have her new single on the latest playlist.
Heres some words straight from the heart from the girl herself –
- What inspired the songs, any artists you were referencing at the time?
"Those 2 songs I wrote on twilight series 1 was new moon and 1 was eclipse. The novels inspired me to write music for a possible chance on getting it into twilight soundtracks. ‘Paramore’ was my inspiration at the time."
-What are they each about?
Forever is about the novel ‘new moon’- it’s about Bellas love for Edward and her heart break of him leaving her, but then saving Edward before it was too late. ‘Forbidden Desires’ is my favorite out of all my writing- very RAW material and I think I got my message across. But it’s about the novel ‘eclipse’- it’s about a Love Triangle! Of being in love with 2 people at once and being forced to choose. It’s about passion, frustration and making a choice!"
-Who are your current fave artists?
"Sia and Kings of Leon."
-What are your musicial plans for the future?
"To finally finish my album. I spent such a period off of recording because I was too busy doing gigs every where for years. Also. Getting married, running a business I opened 6 yrs ago and having a child who is now 19months." Well thanks for the chat Karissa, we look forward to hearing more of the forthcoming album and following your music journey. Check out Karissa's music here or listen for it in a cafe near you.....
