Carmie returns with a wonderfully warm but pop-riddled love song that has a particular way of showcasing part of her personality and how she pulls from emotional aspects of her life to write songs that people can really relate to.
This new single is definitely a love song, but it's done in a way that feels more bright and light-hearted rather than intense or heavy-handed in terms of displaying overpowering emotion.
It's got a contemporary underbelly to it, a beautiful flow, and when you listen to the song, you can hear she's just feeling free.
This is a song that's got flavor to it.
"Safe Space" refers to that feeling you get when you are around the right person; how you can be yourself and say what you want because that space is safe.
This is a situation you don't come across often. This could be with a friend, a loved one, a partner, it doesn't matter. The sentiment behind the song is relationship-based, but you can interpret it how you want.
No matter how you interpret it, it's going to be relatable because a lot of us, if we're lucky, have one or more people where we can feel like we're in that safe space.
Now, to me, this is a love song in general. It's about a particular person that she's with, and she feels great being around that person.
You get this almost whimsical feeling when you listen to it, like when she's away from that person, she's just thinking about being back with them again.
It's funny when you run into a situation like this because you go out into the world and you put on a certain face. You act certain ways around people, in social situations, and just being amongst others. Meanwhile, you know in the back of your mind that when you're around that one particular person, you are going to be fully you once again. No masks, no hiding, no putting on faces.
That's what this is about, and she really puts this amazingly in terms of her lyrics.
The whole song comes across as breezy and really refreshing. Again, that pop overtone really takes control but is delicately balanced with some great instrumentation and just the warmth of her vocals as well.
And the track posts alive percussion, great guitar work, addictive progressions, and arrangement, and her vocals just make the song full-bodied.
This is mostly because she delivers some great hooks on the forefront, but she also uses her vocals like instruments in the background a lot. Some harmonies flow through the spaciousness of the song and give it some more depth, add colorful layers, and bring that brightness up a few levels.
The chorus of the track is insanely addictive. It sticks with you for quite a while after it has ended and sort of bounces around in your brain to the point where you find yourself humming it sometimes.
This is a very radio-friendly style track.
Carmie is not an artist I'm unfamiliar with. She has already released music that I have fallen in love with, and a lot of that is because she's so expressive and honest.
She's a great storyteller, but from a very personal perspective. She's able to let you sort of paint a picture in your head while songs play through, but she also comes from a very genuine place in her own life.
She pulls from those life experiences and bottles up the emotion so that she can put them into the music.
This is a wonderful thing because the songwriting, instrumentation, and vocal performance all help really create that mood for the lyrics.
This is a song that is sort of floaty and light, while still having a great pop background and elements of rock involved, it still feels soft, in a sense.
That's what it's meant to feel like. You're meant to feel like you're floating on a cloud, because that's what it feels like sometimes to be in love.
That's what it feels like to have that safe space that you can go back to anytime. Looking forward to the moment when you can see that person again is a hard thing to capture, but she's done it.
Carmie is definitely unafraid to put these pieces of herself into her music, whether it's light-hearted or more serious, she displays a lot of her inner self when creating.
This is one of the reasons you get attached.
So, don't miss this one because it's a feel-good love single dipped in the right elements of pop approach so that when it's over, you feel a bit uplifted yourself.
Remember where you heard it first.
