Song:Brokenhearted
Album:Girls On Top
You may recall hearing Brokenhearted on the radio in 2012. It was a top twenty hit. But the husband wife duo Karmin didn't like working with a major label so now they are doing their own thing. Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan met and married while both were studying at the Berklee School of Music in Boston in 2006. Noonan was studying to be a session trombone player. They released an EP in 2010. But when it became clear that their original songs weren't going to get any attention, they started posting covers of popular songs on Youtube. These were released on CD in 2011. This got them the attention they wanted especially from Ryan Seacrest who played them on his radio show. They signed with Epic Records. The EP Hello was released in 2012. Brokenhearted was the first single. It topped the dance charts and reached #16 on the Billboard Hot 100. Karmin wrote and produced the song with producers like Henry "Cirkut" Walter, Richard Head AKA Dr. Luke, Claude Kelly, Benny Blanco, Emily Wright and John Hill. All have a boatload of credits though Cirkut and Head produced the record. A couple of songs from the EP topped the dance charts. They finally released an album Pulses in 2014. For the most part, the album was a disappointment and Karmin left Epic and started their own label distributed by RED which is what The Orchard became after it merged with Sony. They released the album Leo Rising in 2016. The big difference is they are self producing now. You can get Brokenhearted on this 2CD various artists budget comp. Currently Amy is recording and touring as Qveen Herby. They have given the appearance of rebranding and the two may not return to the name Karmin. Amy is being deliberately vague about this. She's the lead singer and rapper anyway. So it makes sense to focus the marketing on her. Here's the video for Brokenhearted by Karmin.
