To many, Karin Ann is an alt-pop newcomer. To Karin Ann, she’s something of an old-timer, and she’s only 21-year-old. The Slovakian singer released her debut, English language single “3AM” back in 2020, but she’d written it back in 2017, aged just 15. It’s a brooding slice of melancholic trap-pop, but it feels worlds away from the music she’s pumping out now, just three years on. Her recent single, “if i fall for you” is a slow-burning alt-rock song, its gritty bassline weaving perfectly between her dulcet voice. It sounds instinctive.
