Karlie is back with a whole new vibe. Her most recent release, “See Her,” is a shimmering manifesto on self-worth, inner healing, and what it means to finally see your reflection as powerful, capable, and enough.
A fusion of ’80s synth nostalgia and modern indie pop cheek, “See Her” is the second single off Karlie’s debut album, and it has landed with purpose. Produced with Geronimo Latumeten, the song was recorded at Eastar HQ and is bursting with sparkling textures and romantic melodies to match Karlie’s shockingly personal and honest vocals. The result is a track that sounds like light cutting through fog, gentle yet unyielding.
This is a message that rings true, especially in a world that demands perfection to accept you. It is about quieting the internal critic, stripping away self-doubt, and acknowledging the version of ourselves that others have always seen as worthy, someone whole. Karlie’s lyrics are tender yet uncompromising, a gentle nudge to look inward and find a source of strength already within oneself. The visual that accompanies the track is every bit as mesmerizing, too, with Karlie’s lips pressed against her own reflection, kissing her mirror image passionately. It’s an artistic mic drop, a bold visual depiction of the song’s empowering point. It’s more than self-love. It’s self-recognition, a declaration, and a reintroduction.
In terms of sound, “See Her” seamlessly blends dream pop, electronic dance, and synth pop influences into something entirely unique to Karlie. There’s a cinematic mood to the track for anyone who has fought their own internal insecurities. Karlie is carving out a lane that empowers femininity and emotional clarity, and this single marks a bold step towards achieving just that. If this is what the upcoming album has in store for listeners, they’re in for a wonderfully transformative journey. Karlie doesn’t only want you to hear her. She wants you to see her, and in that process, see yourself more clearly as well.
