Brooklyn/Long Island, NY — (November 2025) — Singer-songwriter Karen Bella unveils her newest single, “Living on the Great,” a dreamy, melodic pop-folk track that blends intimate storytelling with cinematic production. Out now on all major streaming platforms, the song showcases Bella’s signature ethereal vocals, lush guitar work, and vivid emotional depth.

Written during a reflective period in 2020, Karen recorded the original demo in her home studio before collaborating with acclaimed producer and multi-instrumentalist Teddy Kumpel (Joe Jackson, Nine Inch Nails). Together, they shaped the song into a shimmering tapestry of acoustic warmth, electric color, and soulful expression. The single also features drums and psychedelic textures from Josh Dion, whose mbira and synth layers add a transportive, dream-like dimension.

“‘Living on the Great’ is one of my most meaningful pieces,” Bella shares. “It captures the reflection of my childhood, a conversation with myself and the awareness of getting older.”

The song’s expansive soundscape and emotional resonance mark a new creative chapter for Bella, whose music continues to captivate audiences across the New York music scene. With this release, she offers listeners a heartfelt moment of clarity, empowerment, and escape.
