Bara Karin has released a strong and empowering track called “Male Gaze” The music is great and the vocals are super great, I really like the storyline the most.
On “I changed my voice for you” she blames society and popular culture för her obsession with men. This time, she blames herself for having changed whatever a guy expect her to change, most of all, her appearance. Symbolically, she’s using makeup brushes and wax-stripes for percussion. With synths from the 80s together with reverb filled whistling, Bara Karin takes you out in space.
Male Gaze is a part of Bara Karin’s 4 track debut EP – “I changed my voice for you”. It is set to be released next Friday, Jan 31st.

Koncept-EP:n I changed my voice for you är mer än en samling spår. Det är en berättelse, en novell, om det självmedvetna jaget som med meditativt mindfulness sound och spydigt bitter ton återger en insiktsgivande episod med ”knullkompisen Sankt Nikolaus”. Med låttitlar som DONT FUCKING GHOST ME AGAIN, NEVER TRUST A SMILING HIPPIE och MALE GAZE behöver egentligen ingen ytterligare innehållsbeskrivning ges. Soundet ackompanjeras av ”runda, våta, egengjorda trumljud av vax-stripes och sminkborstar”, vilket är lika kreativt som symboliskt genomtänkt. - Markus Hällje

Bio
Somehow, changing the language from Swedish to English, brings out the saddest and most fragile voice from the Swedish artist BARA KARIN, while telling stories about softboys, ghosting and the male gaze.
On her debut-EP she blamed society and popular culture for her obsession with men. This time, she blames herself for having changed whatever a guy expect her to change, most of all, her appearance. Bara Karin likes being symbolic. In the song "Male gaze" she's using makeup brushes and wax-stripes for percussion and the song "Yoko Ono" was done through the same tape machine as The Beatles. Synths from the 80s together with a reverb on her whistling takes you out in space, making it impossible for the listener to go back to earth again.
