Kris Kolls Takes Control on Magnetic New Single “Karma”
Kris Kolls isn’t waiting for balance — she’s creating it. With her latest single “Karma,” the Istanbul-based singer-songwriter delivers a sleek and soulful pop statement that transforms emotional detachment into empowerment. It’s the sound of someone who’s done explaining, done fixing, and finally at peace with walking away.
Fresh off the success of “You Know,” which gained impressive traction on streaming platforms, Kris Kolls continues her rise as one of pop’s most magnetic new voices. But “Karma” feels different — sharper, more defined, and unapologetically self-possessed. Built on a subtle, grooving rhythm, the track balances sharp lyricism with a voice that commands without needing to shout.
“It’s about setting boundaries without making speeches. She’s not here to carry anyone’s weight — she’s here on her own terms.”
That sense of control runs deep through both her music and her story. Kolls began performing at just four years old, studying classical piano before expanding her career across Moscow’s stages, theaters, and festivals. A graduate of VGIK — Russia’s leading film and performing arts institute — she learned how to merge movement, music, and narrative into one expressive art form.
Now based in Istanbul, Kris Kolls channels her multidisciplinary background into a sound that feels both cinematic and intimate. Her influences span from pop icons like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake to contemporary boundary-pushers like Banks and Ariana Grande. Each release deepens her exploration of sound as storytelling — and “Karma” is no exception.
The song plays like a mirror — smooth on the surface, reflective underneath. It’s not a breakup anthem or revenge fantasy; it’s a quiet reclaiming of space. Through understated production and calm defiance, Kolls turns emotional independence into rhythm.
With “Karma,” Kris Kolls proves that sometimes the strongest message isn’t loud — it’s steady. And this time, she’s not chasing balance. She is the balance.“Karma” is out now on all major streaming platforms.
