The song takes on a double-entendre meaning, representing both the desire to be a guiding light for a lost soul and the frustration of being unable to help. Karina masterfully combines heavy subject matter with dark dance grooves and thick bass chords, creating a sonic landscape.

“I played an instrumental demo to my childhood best friend and podcast co-host Isaac Slone, who said when he heard it, ‘You’re going to play The Beacon with this one,’” Karina says about the release of her new song. “It then took on a double-entendre meaning, as the song was written about trying to be a beacon to a lost soul you want to, but cannot, help.”

Karina’s vocal performance is fantastic, as he delivered the vocals in a single take, capturing the raw emotions and intensity of the song. The result is a haunting and powerful performance that showcases Karina’s growth as an artist. Her vocals soar over the haunting melodies and drive the song forward, leaving a lasting impact on the listener.

This is the type of song that allows Karina to showcase her ability to blend dark dance grooves with thought-provoking lyrics and serves as a captivating glimpse into what promises to be an exceptional debut album.
