With an extensive discography and multiple awards, KARMACODA has explored electronica, chill, trip-hop, R&B, rock, and dream pop in their twenty year career. Renowned for their ever-evolving sound, KARMACODA blends R&B and jazz lounge, drawing comparisons to formidable artists like Adele, Lana Del Rey and ofcourse Massive Attack.

KARMACODA has received support from acclaimed publications such as Wonderland Magazine, NOTION, EARMILK, Magnetic Mag, Hotpress, and METAL Magazine to name but a few. Their music has also received airplay from NPR Music and Irish National radio RTÉ 2XM.

The album focus track ‘You and I’ is an ethereal love ballad, where Jessica’s rich voice takes center stage. The instrumental arrangement is enthralling, with the melody of the piano beautifully intertwining with the lush vocals. The track is a wonderful culmination of jazz and R&B, and outlines the story of a toxic relationship where two people just can’t get enough of each other, and although there’s love it’s filled with challenging highs and lows.
