this thread must have one of the all-time great OPs

Morgan James, the vocalist on that Postmodern Jukebox cover of Maroon 5's "Maps" upthread, does not have her own thread at this point, so I am posting this here, what on first listen seems to be a dead on target cover of Aretha's "Ain't No Way," no mean feat.

So hey, Karmin's back! This is not a joke. This is the actual press release.

The journey for Karmin’s Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan has been a wild one, to say the least after the duo signed to Epic Records and scored the double-platinum hit “Brokenhearted” off their 2012 EP Hello, and appeared on Saturday Night Live. Not to mention, Amy’s stunning appearance gracing the cover of Rolling Stone. Along the way they have earned esteemed accolades from hip-hop heavy hitters ranging from The Roots’ Questlove, Diplo, Jermaine Dupri, and The Game. The duo has performed more than 600 live shows and has racked up over a billion collective views of their eye-popping videos (fueled by the devotion of millions of loyal fans around the world, who call themselves “Karminites”).

"With triumphs too long to list, the duo have not forgotten their roots as two Berklee College of Music graduates that have been on a crazy journey since being pulled from their basement apartment in Boston and set on the tumultuous path to music stardom. They are recipients of the American Music Award and have appeared on Dancing With the Stars, Good Morning America, and The Ellen Show, just to name a few. “We were kind of in a honeymoon phase for a while, like, ‘Holy shit, that actually happened?’” Amy says of the events of the last few years.

"After surviving the hype of a major label deal, the band parted ways with Epic Records in order to pursue a distinct creative vision that is represented on their upcoming album, Leo Rising. Despite the struggles they’ve endured, Karmin have emerged with a stylistically wide-ranging and truly artistic statement-making album that finds them presenting the most authentic version of who they are to date. All this thanks to clear-eyed, honest storytelling, sonic boundary-pushing, and expanded creative control with Amy and Nick serving as executive producers and Nick stepping up as both a lead vocalist and producer.

"Karmin tells Billboard, "The Gemini track of our upcoming album "Leo Rising", the song "Didn't Know You", is a story of betrayal. We wanted the listener to feel the passion and energy in the story so we built it on a driving bass line with a syncopated drum groove which opens up to a full rhythm section of aggressive, pissed off drummers. We hope you love it, we made it for you!"

it sounds good

apparently they've been hyping this album for almost a year, releasing four singles since october and...this!

Rae Sremmurd vs. Karmin beef pls

Skintone fair, syndrome rare
The peasant is unpleasant but the king don't care
Let them all call, let my ringtone blare
While the beat bump, bump like a ingrown hair
Bump, bump like a ingrown, bump like a ingrown
Bump, bump, bump like a ingrown hair
Cut through the jungle in the middle of nowhere
I'm steady with my machete, I'm ready to go there

NO.

NO!

FUCK YOU

somehow, the bit after the song finishes is even worse

the misfortune i wish upon them is probably disease-related, or maybe they're forced to choose between their dog and their home studio at gunpoint

sexi vid

Her expression in the screenshot above is enough to make me want to punch things, I'm not putting myself through actually watching it. These people are an easy target for rage but my god do they deserve it.

Also this is brilliant:

why is he shaking an apple?

You never hear about Pomplamoose anymore...

They got married, assume they're spending their time trying to make an awful, awful child.

I think there's a 99% chance that the 'moose has seen this thread. Wonder what they make of it.

their baby is named ILM

"I guess I kinda don't like how there's such a pedestal for music culture and especially for band culture, it just feels fake; it feels like smoke and mirrors. I feel like music doesn't have to be like that. It can be something that's very normal and very accessible."

fwiw they're talking about the way their videos play out: like the kutiman "thru you" thing, all the images on the screen correspond to sounds being produced in the song. so like if there's four-part harmony they shove in four shots of the girl singing all the different parts, etc.

i mean you gotta sing it four times, right. like that actually happens in reality, for your four-part harmony you gotta sing four times.

chillingly prophetic

the 'moose has juice

man this has made me long strongly for the days when pomplamousse was the most offensive thing we had to talk about
:(

Amazing that with all the money they're raking in from Patreon itself they're still milking fans for $10k a month.

kudos to those twee ass bitches

is this the band that made a music video to explain why they got divorced

Given such a gift for the separation of fools from their monies, it's no wonder they've attracted some many Alt-Righters to the service.

Just realized I have been conflating them with Karmin

karmin are like 35% more drama kid which is to say theyre 100% drama kid
