Karmacoda Drops Soulful New Album ‘You and I’

Get ready to dive into a world of soulful vibes and beautiful melodies because Karmacoda’s latest album, You and I, is here!
Hailing from San Francisco, the powerhouse trio—Jessica Ford (vocals), Brett Crockett (vocals and producer), and Eric Matsuno (bass and unique elements)—brings their signature blend of R&B, jazz, and dream pop to this album. Known for their genre-defying sound and rich, emotive music, Karmacoda has captivated listeners with their distinctive style that draws comparisons to Adele, Lana Del Rey, and Massive Attack.
You and I showcases their incredible musical versatility, with the title track serving as a perfect example. This love ballad features Jessica Ford’s mesmerizing vocals against a lush piano backdrop, telling the story of a tumultuous relationship filled with both passion and pain. The track captures the essence of jazz and R&B, creating a unique listening experience.
One track that absolutely stole my heart is “Just”. From the moment the intro kicked in, it brought to mind the vibes of “All The Stars”, a personal favorite of mine. The way the song opens with its lush, atmospheric build-up sets an epic stage for what follows—a pulsating beat that grabs you and doesn’t let go. Jessica’s vocals have a powerful quality, effortlessly floating over the instrumentation.
Jessica Ford describes the album as a deeply personal project, filled with “love, friendship, joy, and emotion”, and notes that it reflects their true artistic spirit without being confined to any single genre.
