“Karma Collects“ by Noah Kahlil

“Karma Collects” by Noah Kahlil is a feel good song with a unique sonic atmosphere that blends R&B rhythms with indie production. Kahlil, a versatile and innovative artist based in Los Angeles, explores the idea of karma in this song, ultimately saying that it all comes down to respect. Karma is the idea that what goes around comes around, and you get what you give. For Khalil, this means that showing respect to others, and to himself, protects him from bad luck and a dead end life. 

There are several synths in this song with one of a kind textures that really hook the listener. An atmospheric, pulsing synth opens the track, and other warbling synth sounds dance across the arrangement. This adds plenty of ear candy over the steady beat and hypnotizing melodies. Throughout the song, there are slight shifts in energy that pull back on the arrangement, or add more instrumentation. This contrast between sparse and dense moments keeps the sonic journey captivating, pulling you through this cyclical idea of karma in a satisfying way. 

Lyrics like “you been talking for the clout, but the homies hold it down” call out the people who only prioritize themselves, but Khalil doesn’t sweat it. He and the people close to him know the real way to be respected is by respecting others. He sings “r-e-s-p-e-c-t, sometimes that’s reality” to drive home that message, repeating the spelled out hook for an ear worm moment in the track. With poignant lyrics, riveting production, and an inviting vocal performance, “Karma Collects” is perfect for any playlist.
