I’ve forgotten most of the people who won The Voice in recent years, but I can still remember Karise Eden’s appearance on the show all those years ago. The streamlined format of recent years which gives contestants very little airtime is a factor, but Karise’s unique, powerful voice is certainly another. As much as I have enjoyed other artists, no one left such a big impression on me. The good news is that we don’t just have to get nostalgic about Karise; she’s still releasing amazing music. Her current single “My Old Friend” is the perfect reminder of just how awesome she is.
“My Old Friend. There is a lot of raw, honest power in that track,” Karise admitted. “ It is still painful for me to sing. I’d hope that anyone who has lost someone they love, can find comfort in this song. Grief is a tricky emotion to experience but know that you are not alone. I’d hope you could listen, raise a glass and remember those we love so dearly that are no longer with us.”
“My Old Friend” is the first track Karise has released since 2018, but she won’t leave us waiting too long to hear more new material. This is the first song lifted from her new EP, which will drop really soon.
