Karen Harding’s latest indie pop tune might resonate with many of us. “Devil In The Mirror” is essentially about imposter syndrome in all its ways. It’s about feeling like you’re coming up short from what society, and what you yourself deem you to be. The song utilises these pulsating and driving drum rhythms and 80’s style bass lines, with an underlying ambience of bell synth pads and binaural beats. You find yourself completely and wholly at odds with yourself and what you yearn to be. That moment of pure conflict, confusion, and dissonance is where “Devil In The Mirror” is at its most striking and incisive. Harding’s powerful vocal performance and cutting lyricism breaks you, leaving you slightly frustrated but also promising at the same.
A powerful indie pop anthem that’s bound to break you through.
