Hailing from Williamsburg, Virginia – a town seemingly frozen in the past – KARINA finds solace in expressing herself through music. In her new single, “Burning Daylight,” she shares reflections on her past, delving into themes of early trauma and a yearning for the days of childhood innocence, when she could remain blissfully unaware of the world’s pain and cruelty.

As KARINA herself admits, “This song was born from a constant feeling that I should be further along by now. I keep comparing my achievements to those of others who seem to be thriving confidently, which makes me question where I am. In this song, I wanted to capture the urgency of time slipping away as I sit here, wrestling with my own self-doubt.”
