The awe-inspiring nature of Alex G‘s openness as a musician has always further characterized his growing development as a singer-songwriter, to the point that leads his Bandcamp page to feel more so like a personal journal than a collection of albums and releases.

The Philadelphia musician’s charm returns once more in the form of ballad titled “Kara” that comes from a compilation from Seagreen Records. The soft hums of the track’s strings play off a coy backdrop to the lyrics’ gentle sentiment. But be warned, there is a deep empty feeling after Alex G sings, “Blue is the color of Kara’s flame and this one burns for you,” before the song closes out.
