## **UK indie pop artist Karamelien releases ‘Wait For Me’ single**

#### **A Sonic Exploration Of Incarnation**

_”A true work of beauty and professionalism, taking you to your very own ascension
heights” _~ **Amplify Music Magazine**

_“Upbeat, a joyous folk-rock affair… bedecked in kaleidoscopic sixties sparkle, 
a slight splash of psychedelia and a whole tsunami of charm and grace” _~ **Big 
Takeover Magazine**

_“A hug of soulful indie pop with groove as infectious as its melodic breath and
lyrical smile is poetic… seductive captivation” _~ **Ringermaster Review**

UK-based indie pop artist [**Karamelien**](https://karamelien.bandcamp.com/) presents**
[‘Wait For Me’](https://karamelien.bandcamp.com/album/wait-for-me)**, the third 
single from this East Grinstead-based project. This song is performed primarily 
through singer-songwriter **[Léanie Kaleido](https://leaniekaleido.bandcamp.com/)**
with piano, mixing and production by** **[**Chris Mars **](https://chrismars.com/about)**(
A Flock of Seagulls, Damian Wilson)**.

Earlier, she released two Karamelien singles with long-time friend and guitarist
[**Mark Foster**](https://www.facebook.com/KaramelienBand/). [**‘Lionhearts’**](https://youtu.be/XGP3xXO9AvQ)
is an uplifting track about love and unity in difficult times.  [**‘Ascension Heights’**](https://youtu.be/EbGN1qjBjJ0)
is a moving work of beauty, featuring bassist **Mo Pleasure (****Earth, Wind & Fire****,
Michael Jackson, Ray Charles)** with guidance by **Paul Statham (Dido, Simple Minds,
Kylie Minogue, Natalie Imbruglia)**. Both tracks were produced at **[OX4 Sound Studio](https://www.ox4sound.co.uk/)**
by [**RIDE’s Mark Gardener**](https://twitter.com/MarkGardener), who also guided
her critically acclaimed [**‘How To Weigh A Whale Without A Scale’ LP**](https://leaniekaleido.bandcamp.com/album/how-to-weigh-a-whale-without-a-scale)(
2021).

“Since the last release, I’ve been writing and producing from my studio at home.
The inspiration for this song came through hearing the story of the relative of 
a dear friend of mine, who had experienced intense feelings of reincarnation, which
were later backed up through historical research. It’s a beautiful story and one
that has been made into a book. ‘Wait For Me’ is inspired by the love story that
accompanied this experience; a love that transcends life and death,” says **Léanie
Kaleido**.

“As a Buddhist, the idea of reincarnation is something that still baffles me, but
I love the idea that it might be true. I think that, regardless of what you believe,
the song speaks to anyone who has lost someone they loved very dearly. I wrote the
lyrics with the intention that they could be the words of the person who has passed
away, or the person they have left behind. It was important to me to let this song
be used in a way that helps anyone struggling with love and loss. I hope it does.”

Though the timing of this single’s release is purely coincidental, a song about 
reincarnation is a timely occurrence given that Léanie’s father [**Top Topham**](https://www.facebook.com/top.topham),
the original and founding lead guitarist of seminal R&B group **The Yardbirds**,
passed away on January 23rd after battling dementia for several years.

When Top left the band through parental pressure to finish his art course, he was
succeeded by **Eric Clapton**, then later **Jeff Beck** and finally **Jimmy Page**,
who went on to form **Led Zeppelin**. Top continued to have a solo music career 
with **Blues Horizon Records** and played with **Christine McVie **and** Peter Green**.
He also worked as a fine artist and interior designer, but re-joined The Yardbirds
for part of their 50th anniversary tour.

“My father was a huge influence on me both musically and spiritually, and I will
always be grateful to him for that. He was always so supportive of my own work and
we often played music together. I sampled his beautiful instrumental track[** ‘Ascension Heights’ **](https://youtu.be/EbGN1qjBjJ0)
and wrote the lyrics as a tribute to his spirituality, which was a huge part of 
his life. All of his children miss his presence greatly.”
