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.
Wicked Game
Karen Souza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And no one can save me, but you
It's strange what desire
Will make foolish people do
I'd never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
No I, I…don't want to fall in love
No I, I…don't want to fall in love, with you
With you…
What a wicked game you play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you
And I, I…don't want to fall in love
No I, I…don't want to fall in love, with you
With you…
No, I I…don't want to fall in love
No, I I…don't want to fall in love, with you
With you…
Nobody loves no one
These lyrics from Karen Souza's song "Wicked Game" portray the feelings of being in love with someone who is not reciprocating those feelings. The first two lines describe the sense of chaos and destruction around the singer, but they believe that the only person who can save them is the person they have feelings for. The singer acknowledges that desire can lead to making foolish choices and actions. They never imagined meeting someone like this person or losing them, indicating they have strong feelings for them. The repetition of "No I, I... don't want to fall in love" emphasizes that the singer is trying to resist falling in love since it would only cause them more pain as the person they love doesn't feel the same way.
The chorus describes the "wicked game" that the person they love is playing by leading them on and causing them to dream of a love that will never be. The singer feels that the person they love is being cruel and unfair by saying they never had the same feelings for them. The final line "Nobody loves no one" emphasizes the idea that the singer's love is unrequited and that it's a painful reality to accept.
Overall, the song perfectly illustrates the feeling of powerless love where no matter how much the singer wants to be loved back, they know deep down that it may never happen.
