Known for their poignant lyrics and irresistibly catchy hooks, this dynamic duo confronts their growing frustration with the state of the world and their ultimate desire to return to the carefree existence of their youth. Standout singles like “Pink Ferrari,” “Nice Guy But” and their recent hit, “Forever Young,” KTJ & CARLY have consistently delivered tracks that resonate deeply with fans. This fall, they’re taking their electrifying live show on the road with a nationwide tour set to light up cities from New York City to Los Angeles, San Francisco, and beyond. With their magnetic stage presence and a setlist brimming with fan favorites and a bevy of fresh material, KTJ & CARLY are gearing up for a tour that promises to be as unforgettable as their music.
Upon the first listen to “Bitter,” you’d never realize the bold and uproarious new single from KTJ & CARLY is rife with youthful frustration and bitter feelings about the world. Reverberating with a dynamic hip-hop-influenced rhythm, it’s the kind of track that shakes you to your core instrumentally and lyrically. As they bemoan, “I’ve only been awake for one / fraction of a minute / it was fucking nice forgetting / the laundry list I should get done,” the burgeoning beat booms beneath stacked vocals and vibrant sonic energy. It builds to a climactic and unforgettable chorus that pounds home the message of resentment. Wrapped in a pristine pop package, ripe with their immaculate phrasing and warm, full-throttled vocals, KTJ & CARLY express anger and hope in one fell swoop. We may be bitter, but between the soaring vocals and undeniably repeatable chorus, KTJ & CARLY give us a two-minute musical reprieve from the chaos. Check out the duo’s new single, “Bitter”.
