She can be found singing under these pseudonymns on albums such as Pacha Ibiza, FTV (FashionTV), Paris Dernier, Hotel Costes and Privé. She had just begun to flirt with the idea of singing to jazz when she was contacted and invited to join the production of the first volume of the series, Jazz and ´80s. No one imagined the success that the series would have almost over night. The producer of the series knew a good thing when he saw it and he quickly shared his enthusiasm in the project with Karen and made her and her voice an important part of each album.
Now that Karen had gotten her toes wet in the studio, her label decided it was time to dive in and they sent her and the rest of the Quartet on tour to Brazil in late 2009. The visit was a great success and Karen came into her own onstage, gaining confidence and ever tuning and refining her singing.
On the heels of the Brazilian adventure, the label again stepped in and told Karen it was time to focus on her own material.
To this effect they sent her to Los Angeles for a few months to work with and learn from some of the best songwriters in the business. It was there that she studied under the guidance of Pam Oland , a multiple Grammy nominated songwriter who has worked with stars like Whitney Houston, Earth, Wind and Fire and Aretha Franklin, to name a few. This period gave new direction to Karens own composing and songwriting and has helped her develop her signature sound while continuing to please fans with her characteristic lush vocals.
After her stint in LA, Karen began to dedicate herself exclusively to rehearsing both new and older material with the rest of the quartet and they have achieved a symbiosis that is a pleasure to watch. The Cooltrane Quartet with Karen in the lead is an act not to be missed, full of excellent jazz versions and brand new soloist material from a truly dynamic young artist.
Tainted Love
Karen Souza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Run away
I've got to
Get away
From the pain you drive
Into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I tossed and turn I can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love
Now I know I've got to
Run away
I've got to
Get away
You don't really want any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you'll think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way
Once I ran to you
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go
Once I ran to you
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears
And that's not nearly all
Tainted love
The lyrics of Karen Souza's song Tainted Love describe a toxic and painful relationship that has left the persona feeling stuck and overwhelmed. They feel like they need to run away from their partner who inflicts emotional pain on them. The love that they share feels futile because it leads nowhere, and the persona's light has been snuffed out. They can't sleep at night, and the constant tossing and turning adds to their misery.
The chorus of the song, "tainted love," is repeated throughout, highlighting the unhealthy nature of the relationship. Even though the persona tried to make things right, they're aware that their partner's issues run deep, and they need someone to hold them tight. However, the persona doesn't believe that love is enough, and they don't pray in the same way as their partner. The chorus is repeated again, reminding the listener of the hurtful experience that tainted their love.
In the end, the persona decides to leave the relationship since they can't stand the way their partner teases them. They love their partner, even though they hurt them, but it's time for them to move on. The lyrics describe a sad and heartbreaking story of love turning sour, leaving the listener with a feeling of melancholy.

Sometimes I feel I've got to Run away
There are moments when I feel I have to escape
I've got to Get away
I have to get far from here
From the pain you drive Into the heart of me
You cause me so much pain that it hurts me deeply inside
The love we share Seems to go nowhere
Despite our love, it seems like we are not going anywhere
And I've lost my light For I tossed and turn I can't sleep at night
I feel like I've lost my way and can't sleep at night because I'm constantly restless
Once I ran to you Now I run from you
There was a time I ran towards you but now I run away from you
This tainted love you've given
The love you give me is corrupted and harmful
I give you all a boy could give you
I gave you everything a boy could give hoping it would lead to a better, more pure love
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Here are my tears, but this is not the only pain you have caused me
You don't really want any more from me To make things right
You don't actually want me to help make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
You really need someone to hold and comfort you
And you'll think love is to pray But I'm sorry I don't pray that way
You may think that love can solve anything, but I don't believe in that approach
Don't touch me please I cannot stand the way you tease
Please don't touch me because I can't take the way you tease me
I love you though you hurt me so
Even though your actions hurt me deeply, I still love you
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go
I need to leave you and move on from this tainted love
Tainted love
This love is corrupted and damaged
