Pulses - Karmin
Karmin rose to fame with the viral video of them performing Look At Me Now showcasing the impressive rapping skill of Amy Heidemann and the background (everything) by Nick Noonan. The couple is engaged but their wedding has been postponed several times due to their work with music, especially since their big break being signed by a major label - Epic Records. Their first single under Epic was Crash Your Party. Although didn't receive much commercial success, it was critically acclaimed and helped Karmin gain recognition beyond their YouTube subscribing fan base. They released an EP entitled "Hello" as a hello to their fans in 2012 featuring the breakthrough hit Brokenhearted, which landed at #16 on US Billboard Hot 100 and became my personal summer anthem that year.
They started recording their debut album "Pulses" the same year and actually went through tough time arguing with Epic to defend their musical choice and direction before finally being able to release it on March 25, 2014 - half a year later than the initial tentative release date.
