Rebecca Karpen
Folk singer-songwriter Rebecca Karpen has delighted audiences around New York City with her witty, beautiful, and honest music. On April 23, 2024, she is excited to release what may be her most poignant work yet: “23”.
Rebecca bravely sings about her “Christ Complex for the Ages” and how it almost cost her everything. She brilliantly weaves verse and melody into an intricate 7 minute ballad. In doing so, she reveals her soul, which draws the listener in and makes them hang onto each carefully crafted word.
Inspired by the music of Jill Sobule, Laura Marling, and Liz Phair, Rebecca uses her voice to capture the stories unique to her, making her songs truthful to her own experience yet also completely universal. With her contagious melodies and profound, heart-on-her-tongue lyrics, you will find yourself hitting “play” over and over again.
Past songs of Rebecca Karpen’s have been hailed as “angry, clever folk music that warrants repeated listens”. You will not regret pressing play to this confessional anthem that speaks to the fantasies “commonplace for girls of 19” and the realities she faced years later at 23-years-old.
“23” was written by Rebecca Karpen, produced and mixed by Jake Tavill, and mastered by Gabi Grella.
