No stranger to this blog, Melbourne, Australia’s Karen Harding has been appearing on our pages since 2022. Her new single Stranger On A Pedestal finds admiration for our own inner imperfections.

By Graeme Smith

We’ve all done it – compared ourselves to another from afar and wondered how they could be so perfect when we are so flawed. Yet, look a little closer and that person is imperfect, just like us. That’s the point of Karen’s new single. She delivers it through an intimate acoustic pop arrangement where her expressive vocals shine. We are hooked on every word of its lyrics in the verse before the chorus ramps up the passion and emotion.

Stranger On A Pedestal features acoustic guitar by Gabb Matos and was produced by Karen. It’s out now and you can check it out below.
