Diving right into Larry Karpenko’s latest release, “Little Things New,” we’ve officially found our new favorite artist.
Prepare to be uplifted by the mesmerizing sound of Larry Karpenko. The opening acoustic guitar is so radiant it could brighten even the sun itself. As soon as the lyrics kick in, accompanied by his breathy intonation, already becoming iconic, you’ll find yourself instantly enamored.
When the lyrics hit:
“Heartbroken / her life was shattered before”
It’s almost impossible to imagine sadness lingering in the presence of Karpenko’s overwhelmingly positive energy. We’re floating on cloud nine, and we’re only 16 seconds into the song! His delivery is nothing short of exhilarating, an irresistible blend of charm and technical prowess. His vocal signature is distinctive, destined to be instantly recognizable.
And just when we think we’ve reached the peak—IT GETS EVEN BETTER.
IT’S UNBELIEVABLE HOW THIS SONG CONTINUES TO BUILD, LIKE A ROLLER COASTER CLIMBING HIGHER AND HIGHER UNTIL WE REACH THE ULTIMATE CRESCENDO, OUR ARMS IN THE AIR, HAIR FLYING BACK, AS LARRY KARPENKO UNLEASHES A POWERFUL, INTIMATE, AND SOARING VOCAL PERFORMANCE. FROM DELICATE FALSETTO TO A GENTLE RASP, HIS VOICE POSSESSES A TRANSCENDENT QUALITY THAT COURSES THROUGH YOUR BODY AND MAKES YOUR HEART GLOW.
Then, the moment we hear:
“Yes youuuuuuuuuuuuiuuuuu picked my heart off the floor”
All we want to know is, who is the lucky person this song is about? Because WOW, what an absolutely breathtaking performance!
The track then transitions into an intimate whisper over delicate fingerpicking, revealing an even softer, more endearing side of Karpenko. It only makes him that much more lovable.
At this point, it’s almost hard to believe that the entire song is simply vocals over a guitar and a gentle beat. Karpenko’s voice alone has the power to fill an entire stadium, without a single speaker.
As the song winds down, there’s a gentle interlude, a whispered lyric that feels like he’s singing just for us. In that moment, we know that “Little Things New” is a song meant for each and every listener, making it deeply personal and unforgettable. And now, the only question on our minds: where’s the next performance? Because we want to be the first in line for tickets!
Inspired by Larry’s sister-in-law’s journey to finding the right partner, this song perfectly captures the joy of love’s new beginnings. Written as a reflection on the happiness and energy surrounding a wedding, it radiates pure positivity.
Recorded at Kreation Records, an independent studio in Southern California, the song utilized XY-stereo miking with a third channel for an LR Baggs-equipped piezo pickup. The vocals were recorded on a Blue Blueberry microphone for ultimate clarity and warmth.
We’re calling it now, Larry Karpenko is a rising star. Don’t miss out on this phenomenal artist.
P.S. Don’t forget: this song is all about YOU! (And “Little Things New.”)
