Ginga Soul is back with a new single, “Karmic,” after taking a year-long hiatus following the release of her debut EP “On My Mind” in 2021. The song delves into Ginga’s recent romantic experience, where she recognizes similarities between her past and present partners. She chooses to take responsibility for breaking the cycle and avoiding falling for the same type of person repeatedly. “I was noticing a connection in how the ones I gave chances to, how they treated me in the beginning versus how they did me in the end.” Ginga says.
Ginga Soul (@gingasoul) drew inspiration from the 90s and early 2000s era of R&B, specifically aiming for an Aaliyah, Brandy, and Erykah Badu vibe. To achieve this, she collaborated with A’Sean, a rapper from Kansas City, Missouri. The song’s nostalgic feel is credited to Ginga and her friend Tash, who wrote the lyrics. The hook came naturally to Ginga, while the verses took a few days of brainstorming with Tash. The beat for “Karmic” was produced by Isaiah Zuriel, a producer Ginga discovered through social media.
Overall, “Karmic” is a nod to the classic R&B sound that Ginga Soul admires, but with a contemporary twist.
