Featured Tune: "There will be light" from Karlie

Walls Fall, Light Breaks In: Karlie’s Sonic Unmasking

Karlie’s “There Will Be Light” isn’t just a pop track—it’s a revelation wrapped in retro synths and raw nerve. From the opening moments, there’s a pulse that feels familiar, like late-night radio in a glowing city, yet the song reaches for something far more intimate than nostalgia.

What makes this track truly stand out is Karlie’s fearless emotional honesty. There’s no sugarcoating. The lyrics cut straight to the core of what it means to hide behind smiles and self-made walls. “Sometimes you build walls to protect yourself…” she’s said about the song—and that idea courses through every note. But rather than wallow, she lifts us. The chorus soars like light cracking through a window that’s been boarded up for years.

The production, courtesy of Geronimo Latumeten, is slick but never sterile. It walks a fine line between polished and personal. Think synth-pop with soul—bright enough to dance to, but grounded in something heavier. It’s the kind of track that plays during a movie scene where the main character finally decides to be honest—with themselves.

“There Will Be Light” feels like a turning point for Karlie—not just musically, but thematically. It’s bold, brave, and beautifully bittersweet. If you’ve ever kept quiet when you wanted to scream, this song gets it. And better yet, it reminds you there’s still light ahead.
