CALL ME KARIZMA, “Darkness”
Wasting absolutely no time after his January digital release of Loser (featuring “u suck” and “Euphoria” among others, all of which I’ve written about recently), Call Me Karizma is already back at work on his official debut album. In advance of this, the Minnesota native brings us “Darkness”, and he doesn’t waste any time acknowledging about that which is bleak and all-consuming. Certainly darkness does have its place in the world, and in the minds of many younger people it can mean escape after the end of a relationship, but it’s also at the end of a downward spiral which no one wants to ride. “Darkness” is likely Call Me Karizma’s most polished work thus far, with layered production providing the necessary thoughtful effect and is some ways is musically reminiscent of Eminem’s “Love The Way You Lie”. Fans of Call Me Karizma know that he performs songs like “Darkness” because he cares greatly for his fellow youth to keep their thoughts from getting to that place. Find out why and listen to “Darkness” above.
Call Me Karizma performs on the upcoming tour by The Summer Set, including Tuesday May 31 in Toronto at The Mod Club.
