Eric Lanz – Karma (Résilience)
“Karma” by Eric Lanz is a nostalgic journey through the sound of the 1980s, integrating new wave, pop, and rock components. The futuristic FM synthesizers in the song immediately grab the listener, bringing to mind the classic electronic sounds of that era. The electric guitar and drums come on almost instantly, creating a bright, lively energy that continues for the whole song. The guitar work on “Karma” shows the song’s obvious inspirations from Depeche Mode, U2, and 1980s AOR, making the production a fun trip back to the 1980s. The French vocals add an ethereal quality to the song, bringing a danceable yet sophisticated edge that channels a David Bowie-esque vibe. This combination instantly transforms “Karma” into a dance hit that could easily have been released in 1985! The chorus, which combines pop and rock elements, is one of the song’s essential moments. It is memorable and addictive. Particularly impressive is also the guitar solo at 2:46, which has a sophisticated, catchy theme similar to the powerful AOR sound of the late 1980s. The shiny pop-rock tune “Karma” is all attitude and individuality. In addition to paying respect to the days of 1980s music, Eric Lanz has succeeded in creating a song that stands out in the current musical scene. Fans of both modern and retro music should listen to “Karma” because of its wonderful instrumentation, catchy vocals, and timeless production. Congratulations, Eric Lanz, on writing a song that connects the past and present!
