On The Table Read Magazine, “the best entertainment eBook magazine UK“, Caardia have released new single, Simple Is Better, about toxic relationships and friendships that cause more harm than good, taken from their self titled album.
Simple Is Better
Growing up often involves learning to let go of relationships and situations that no longer serve us. Singing sisters Celia and Annie Siriopoulos, collectively known as Caardia, share this valuable lesson in their new single.
“Simple Is Better” marks a departure from the child-pop sound of their past, showcasing a newfound maturity and a shift towards indie-alternative music. Both musically and philosophically, the track demonstrates the wisdom and growth of these young artists.
The song’s ruminative lyrics delve into the transformative experience of establishing adult boundaries and realizing their importance. Caardia’s insightful perspective on this topic is impressive for their ages of 19 and 21.
Musically, “Simple Is Better” features a captivating samba-inspired sound, thanks to the contributions of guitarist Alex Matthew and acclaimed producer Roy Hamilton III. The Siriopoulos sisters’ harmonious vocals, ranging from husky to soaring, add depth and emotion to the track.
The song offers a glimpse into Caardia’s upcoming EP, which explores a variety of emotionally charged themes. “Take Me Back (To This Moment)” features Celia questioning the wisdom of rekindling an old relationship, while “Is Till It Isn’t” reflects on unhealthy habits and associations that can go unnoticed until it’s too late.
The EP has been a long time coming, following a six-year hiatus since their debut EP, The Deep End, and five years since their single “Walking Away.” Caardia’s dedication to their craft and their ability to evolve musically are evident in this highly anticipated release.
‘Simple is Better’ is about letting go of toxic relationships, friendships and any other connections that are causing more harm than good.
With this project, we wanted to put forward music that was truly us. Not just our vocals, but our lyrics, our melodies and our sound. We had a lot of thoughts frozen in time, and if we couldn’t translate those into music, we couldn’t progress. We had to create this as the foundation for our future music and what we hope Caardia becomes.”
It was truly a long process of trying to be the most raw, relatable and genuine we could be, while trying to communicate and find the authentic ‘Caardia sound’ in the process.
