Indianapolis-Based Americana/Alt-Country Artist Kara Cole Releases New Single “I’M A MESS” and Music Video, Announces Upcoming EP “FIREFLY”
Kara Cole, the talented Americana/Alt-country artist from the Midwest, has just released her highly anticipated single, “I’M A MESS,” along with an evocative music video. This release marks the second single from her upcoming EP “FIREFLY,” which is set to drop in September. The new track and accompanying video offer an intimate, raw portrayal of the emotional turbulence of toxic relationships and addiction.
“I’M A MESS” is a heartfelt exploration of love’s consuming nature, akin to addiction, where Cole openly shares her sexuality for the first time in her music. The video, now available for viewers, complements the song’s narrative with a captivating blend of emotions, showcasing the excitement, sadness, and playfulness that characterize Cole’s unique musical style.
Kara Cole’s artistic journey is deeply intertwined with her personal life. This August, she celebrates seven years of sobriety, drawing from her experiences with substance abuse and recovery to create music that resonates with authenticity and vulnerability. The forthcoming EP “FIREFLY” is inspired by her recent breakup, with each song reflecting the emotional struggle of letting go of love, much like she did with alcohol. Through her music, Cole aims to connect with those enduring heartbreak and those who, like her, have chosen to face their pain without self-medicating.
Influenced by iconic artists such as Brandi Carlile, Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, Dermot Kennedy, George Jones, and Janis Joplin, Cole’s sound is a compelling fusion of classic country and modern sensibilities. Her powerful vocals and introspective lyrics continue to captivate audiences, solidifying her place in the Americana and Alt-country genres.
The release of “I’M A MESS” and its music video offers a glimpse into the depth and complexity of Kara Cole’s upcoming EP “FIREFLY.” As she shares her personal stories and struggles, Cole invites listeners to join her on a journey of healing, resilience, and self-discovery.
