Royal She – Karma (2024)
Royal She’s latest single ‘Karma’ marks an electrifying new chapter for the Los Angeles-based duo, blending rock, pop, and hip-hop in a punchy anthem for anyone who’s ever been wronged. Vocalist Alison Freed and multi-instrumentalist Alexandria Reyes pour raw energy and attitude into this song, creating a cathartic listening experience that feels both intimate and universally empowering. Known for their catchy hooks and genre-blending style, Royal She once again demonstrates why they’re a duo to watch, as they prepare for the release of their debut album, Befores and Afters, in early 2025.
‘Karma’ captures the spirit of reckoning and retribution, channelling it into a dynamic track with unmistakable rock energy and pop appeal. The song opens with a pulsing beat that quickly builds into a whirlwind of soaring guitars and Freed’s powerhouse vocals, immediately gripping the listener’s attention. Her voice, strong and unyielding, radiates confident defiance as she belts out sharp, unapologetic lyrics that cut to the core. The track’s infectious hook, “What goes around comes back again,” is both playful and piercing, making it easy to imagine crowds chanting along.
Esjay Jones’ polished production adds a layer of sleekness to the gritty rock vibe, creating a sound that’s crisp and radio-ready. There’s a hint of nostalgia for fans of early 2000s alternative rock, with echoes of Paramore and PVRIS, yet Royal She infuses a modern edge that keeps ‘Karma’ fresh and distinct.
At its core, ‘Karma’ isn’t just a song about revenge – it’s a celebration of personal empowerment. It invites listeners to embrace their own strength and enjoy the satisfaction of karmic justice, making it an anthem for reclaiming one’s power. With “Karma,” Royal She solidifies their place as an emerging force in alternative rock, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the release of Befores and Afters.
