Interview with Karabella: discover the R&B and hip-hop roots of the track “Done Being Tired”, featuring vibrant beats and raw lyrics that tell a story of rebirth.
1 – How would you describe your new song to someone who hasn’t heard it yet? What emotions do you want to convey?
“I’d describe this track as a vibrant but raw reflection on heartache. It captures the heavy weight of sadness, balanced by the conscious understanding of why that pain is there.
2 – What was the main inspiration for the song? Can you share personal stories or influences that guided you?
The main inspiration for this song is the lived experience of an on-and-off relationship with my partner. After years of navigating a heavy wave of emotions and finding the strength to stay resilient through it all, this song became my safe space to finally speak up and give my pain a voice”.
3 – How did the song come about? Were there any collaborations?
“The song came about a year ago. I heard the track, instantly fell in love, and knew it was the perfect home for the story I needed to tell”.
4 – Which artists or experiences influenced your sound?
“My sound is shaped by a mix of contrast. Musically, I love tracks that have a vibrant, captivating energy—the kind of music that makes you instantly fall in love with the beat. But lyrically, my influence comes straight from raw, lived experience.
5 – Is there a particular moment related to the creation of the song that you remember with pleasure or satisfaction?
“The most memorable moment for me was tracking the start of verse two. Singing, ‘Haven’t I given you so much of me, all that I given you, wasn’t enough?’ brought tears straight to my eyes. Feeling that level of raw emotion while creating something is the ultimate satisfaction for an artist”.
6 – What emotions do you hope to convey to the public?
“More than anything, I hope to convey honesty. I want people to feel the raw sadness of the lyrics, but also the peace that comes from understanding your own worth and processing your emotions out loud”.
7 – What can we expect from the future? Do you have any news coming?
“Looking ahead, we can expect an album that gathers all of these tracks into one place. This project is designed to connect the pieces and finally reveal the complete story from start to finish”.
8 – What message would you like to give to those who follow you or discover you for the first time?
Whether you’re just discovering me or have been here all along, my message is to let your vulnerability be your power. Stay self-aware, stay resilient, and always give your truth a voice”.
