The live recording features an all-female ensemble, with Carmela taking the lead on vocals, accompanied by the enchanting sounds of violins and a baby grand piano. This intimate version of the recently released single allows listeners to immerse themselves in the raw emotions conveyed through Carmela’s heartfelt lyrics.
Initially perceived as a song about ending a romantic relationship, ‘Born to Lose You’ holds a deeper meaning for Carmela.
She reveals, “I wrote this song as an exploration of losing a parent before resolving any underlying issues. I believe that we are destined to experience the loss of our parents first, and coming to terms with this has been one of the most challenging aspects of my young-adulthood. Although it carries a weight, what made this rendition so exceptional was performing it in its stripped-down form alongside Julie Clark on piano, Maile Hutchinson and Rachel Grace on violins. This version of ‘Born to Lose You’ allows listeners to truly delve into the lyrics and relate them to their own personal stories of loss. Regardless of who you’ve lost, this song is for you.”
The new release follows the success of her first full-length album, ‘New Stranger’, which was released in August 2022. The album was produced by Joe Corcoran, an acclaimed music creator and producer who has contributed to platinum and gold records by Korn, Dave Matthews Band, Michael Jackson, among others.
Her album release party on the front page of Twitch drew an impressive audience of 3,000 viewers, and she embarked on a nationwide tour, thrilling devoted Twitch fans from Seattle to Miami, San Francisco to her hometown of Los Angeles. Carmela has also received support from multiple playlists and acclaimed online platforms. LadyGUNN Magazine declares, “Chances are you haven’t heard this much personality in a vocal in a long time”, while Galore Magazine hails Carmela as “the resident glam-girl-rocker, singer, bass player, and all-around badass.”
Carmela’s powerhouse vocals and energetic demeanor makes her stand out as a rising star in the music industry.
