Check out Virginia-based Karina and her self-empowering track “Chains.” “The only thing that’s holding me back is the chains connected to my past,” sings Karina as she addresses childhood trauma. Fans of Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish will embrace this song.

Karina says, “This song addresses childhood trauma and how we deal with it as we grow into adults. There are moments during depression where you’ll hate yourself and constantly put yourself down, but I recently came to the realization that it’s not my fault I am the way I am. I can only try to do better for myself, but the more you wallow in the past, the more guilty you’ll feel for being you. Trauma sort of feels like these chains connected to your arms constantly pulling you back as you’re trying to get better.”
