Larry Karpenko’s latest single kicks off with a beat that hits like a steady drumbeat – raw and purposeful, setting up everything that follows.
The chorus is catchy without trying too hard, the kind of melody you find yourself humming later without realizing it. He clearly wanted people to be able to sing along, and he succeeded. The arrangement gets more interesting in the bridge where those gospel elements really shine, creating moments that feel really unique. Biblical verses appear throughout, but they fit naturally into the flow instead of feeling forced or preachy.
Recording took place at Kreation Records Studio in Loma Linda, and the production captures both intimacy and power. Larry channels his inspiration from Rapsody’s story about reconnecting with creativity into something that works for anyone going through tough times.
