Karlie shines through the shadows with "There will be light"

In her new single "There will be light," Karlie provides the gift that keeps on giving an entrancing anthem far beyond the standard pop confection. It's a glistening showdown with raw emotional truth, dished out as delicious 80s pop candy with a cherry on top of neon-lit vulnerability.

The track is produced by Geronimo Latumeten, who's also worked with Antoon and Big2, and soundwise, it's full of synth-driven energy, but it's Karlie's crystalline voice transparent, yearning, and yet unbreakable that nails it home. "There will be Light," sets an introspective and liberating tone. Karlie investigates the emotional toll of feigning happiness, constructing walls, and residing behind them. That feeling of relief swells as the track progresses. It's an exhale, capturing the moment exposure finally seeps through the defenses.

There's also a tension between darkness and light, between hiding and revealing, reflected in the production. Retro synths hum like memories you can't entirely shake, and a pulsing electronic beat reminds you to keep it moving. With "There will be light," Karlie has written an anthem for anyone fed up with pretending. It's a glow-up of the soul.
