REVIEW: KTJ & CARLY Release Their Bold EP ‘NUKETOWN’!

Singer-songwriter & producing duo KTJ & CARLY recently unveiled their brand new EP, “NUKETOWN”, which centres around the turbulent relationship & challenges we face in ourselves.

The EP features five songs that guide you from feeling constantly stuck in a loop of trying to do your best yet facing the worst with “Backfire” to the climatic track “Nosedive”, which reminds listeners not to fall into the trap of comparison social media can easily place on us & play on our anxieties.

Each song plays an important reminder of not placing too much pressure on ourselves or allowing people we don’t know to dictate how we live our lives.

The main factor behind the soundscape aspect of this EP is pop but features a collaboration of everything from tranquil pianos to pulsing vibes. It truly is the perfect reflection of the emotional rollercoaster we face on a day-to-day basis.

Throughout the EP, listeners experience the expressive vocal range these two talented songstresses possess. Each track plays a role in highlighting a unique aspect of their vocals, including “In The Ways”, which carries a variety of elevating aspects that perfectly echoes the lyrical heart of this ear-catching anthem.

Overall, this EP showcases KTJ & CARLY’s continuous growth as musicians by illustrating an emotionally grasping lyrical journey full of raw & stripped-down honesty. I feel that the lyrics do an outstanding job of not being afraid to get honest & open by showing the growth that comes from both hurt & healing. Another incredible musical exhibition by two extraordinary artists.
