Americana singer-songwriter Karlie Bartholomew returns with her most vulnerable release yet, “Haunted House.” It is a poignant exploration of memory, longing, and the ghosts we all carry with us.
From the very first line, “In my head, there’s a haunted house / The ghosts of my past rent the whole thing out,” Karlie welcomes listeners into a deeply personal space. With her signature folk-inspired storytelling and soft, soul-stirring vocals, she crafts a world that’s equal parts melancholy and magical.
“This project was so much fun to create,” Karlie shares. “I recorded and played every instrument myself in my bedroom, except for the electric guitar, which was performed by my husband, Daniel Schimmel. The lyrics were inspired by a line from ‘Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow’ by Gabrielle Zevin, where a character describes her mind as a haunted house when talking about loved ones who’ve passed. I hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as I loved making it!”
With “Haunted House,” Karlie transforms lingering emotions into poetic lyricism, inviting listeners to sit with their thoughts, face the things left unsaid, and leave room for healing and hope.
