Once Again

Take Kare is a musical project by Northeast LA-based Filipinx musician & artist, Karen Joyce. 

Their debut single-𝓓𝓮𝓶𝓲𝓼𝓮, explores the emotional soundscape of blissful uncertainty and excitement felt at the start of a relationship. The track features sweet and yearnful vocals enveloped by dreamy synths, syncopated muted bass, and are grounded by a steady beat of punchy drums. 

In its live group configuration (and upcoming EP), Take Kare features an eclectic mix of notable underground LA musicians from the jazz, r&b, and post-rock scene. Their single-release and first show of 2023 was sold-out at LA’s beloved Non Plus Ultra. 

Take Kare’s next upcoming show will be Sunday, 5/14 at The Paramount in Boyle Heights.

Demise

Birthed out of isolation and post-pandemic uncertainty, "Bloom” envisions a more hopeful future where we are destined to thrive together. Lush guitar, flugelhorns, rhodes, drums, and a lullaby-like bass groove paint a mesmerizing backdrop for soothing vocals. Inspired by jazz sensibility, the track captures the dynamic energy generated at Take Kare's live shows. “Bloom” invites listeners to trust in their own life adventure and remind late-bloomers that they are right on time.
