Eves Karydas Burnt Tapes promises to be a raw and refined version of the singer-songwriter.

Turning her back on the hyper-polished, sonically airbrushed world of RnB, Eves Karydas’ forthcoming Burnt Tapes LP will see her focus on laying her skills over “real” instruments, capturing the essence of studio sessions and reclaiming her true sound. And today we have another glimpse of this release in the form of ‘Take 2′.

The track harkens back to early 2000s RnB, with the simplicity of the production allowing Karydas’ vocals to shine, delivering hook after hook. Lyrically, the tune centres around that feeling of knowing you can be your own worst enemy when you get revved up about something.

“As with most of my songs,” Karydas explains, “I find it hard to write about anything serious without a bit of self deprecation and light hearted detachment. Perhaps it’s my way of processing any negativity in my life. ‘Take 2’ is no exception. I wrote it after recognising the objective ridiculousness in having an argument in the condiments aisle at the supermarket. For my own sanity I have to laugh at my own drama.”

You can catch Eves Karydas along the East Coast in July, and don’t forget to pre-order Burnt Tapes right here.
