ROUGH ONLINE | Music | Review

I Am Karate are back once again with another awesome Pop single, delivering a slightly differently vibe to their former, summer banger “Expectations” which ROUGH ONLINE pretty much had on repeat upon its’ release. “News” sends us straight into a “dream-like” state via the chorus’s high-pitched harmonies at the end of each catchy line…”I’m gonna’ be on the news, throw myself off a roof,” but still remains in the same experimental vein as News’ predecessor due to the unusual, bongo-sounding percussion over a 4 by 4 Dance beat. The overall production of “News” throws you into the realm of legendary Sophisti-Pop artist Jessie Ware, ensuring that ''I Am Karate'' joins the new wave of other Alternative, Synth Pop singers such as Charlee Remitz and Mayka, and ROUGH ONLINE love that ''I Am Karate'' are exploring a side to them that steers away from trendy, predictable, cliché’ Pop music.

“News” is easily comparable to the more relaxing works of Australian duo The Veronicas, because it is a simple yet captivating sound delivered masterfully, and before you know it you would have played back ''I Am Karate’s'' new single about a dozen times. You will for sure be left breathless right after the effortlessly performed guitar solo in the song’s outro, so don’t waste any time and check out one of Sweden’s best Pop acts now. I Am Karate…consider ROUGH ONLINE a fan of your work, but we have one question…when is the L.P out? Hehe. “News,” their brand new single is available to download and stream now from all online stores now.
