KÁRYYN has shared new song ‘Anthem For Those Who Know’, co-produced by Hudson Mohawke.
The single is the first new release from KÁRYYN in some four years, and it’s out now on Mute. Co-produced alongside Hudson Mohawke, the Glaswegian producer brings a real sense of physicality to the electronics.
Finely sculpted, ‘Anthem For Those Who Know’ is informed by the energies of the past few months – the huge protest marches, and the feeling that voices must be raised in order to speak truth to power.
As such, there’s a huge sense of purpose to this new release, with KÁRYYN seizing control with each word. She comments…
I wanted to give this song to you now because I think it speaks to the moment. It’s about standing up with the magnitude of peace in the face of violence of any kind. This was my own personal protest song for the last few years, for myself and for my life.
The message of this song is about liberation; personal and collective. My hope is that it inspires strength in anyone who needs it, to speak truth to power, and cut through bullshit and illusions to say: “I’m not going to let fear imprison or silence me.
I know what it’s like to be alone and afraid of being punished for speaking up. I also know the immense freedom that arises from embracing your worth & using your voice for the truth.
If nothing else, know that you’re not alone, and if no one else knows, I know.
Tune in now.
