Artist Sorrycarlee takes unfortunately common, powerful stressors in life and speaks honestly on their effects – detailing the struggles of how to take your own best advice and learn to give yourself grace, yet in the world of a fun indie pop record – titled “Fork!!” This pop anthem is about perfectionists who struggle to take the advice that they give to others, leading to a strong period of confusion and self-reflection. Sorrycarlee writes in a detailed, precise way, showing listeners that this topic is both human and important. While “Fork!!” is upbeat and leaves you tapping your foot along upon the first listen, it is equally honest and thorough in quality & material. You can tell that this is a personal, raw song from Sorrycarlee as well as a gripping piece of pop music. Sounding both fresh & current in perspective and sound, “Fork!!” perfectly explains some of the highs & lows within figuring out how to navigate life as a young adult. This song offers a learning experience as much as it does an exciting, fun one – rare to find and an ideal message to overall share with others.
Through “Fork!!”, Sorrycarlee provides listeners music with experiences and messages that are appropriate, relevant, and honest. No matter your age, her experience of feeling safe in a world of intelligence, dedication, and set guidelines – then transitioning to following her gut and taking a risk on something different – will hit home. Her experience discussed in the lyrics of “Fork!!” feels entirely personal, yet it is something everyone can relate to in one way or another. Upon hearing “Fork!!” for the first time, I was certainly glad that Sorrycarlee chose to follow her dreams and take a chance. This track reminds me of artists such as Lizzy McAlpine and Norah Jones, specifically because they all take elements of beautiful indie pop and blend them with honest, intricate storytelling. While “Fork!!” may reflect on a period of struggle, the overall sound and message behind the song leads to strong, warm feelings that leave you wanting more. I found myself repeatedly listening to the song, finding more of myself in it every time it played.
Sorrycarlee is a fresh, honest pop artist using music as a way to connect with others and share moments from her personal life. Previous to releasing music, Sorrycarlee studied both English and Psychology at a prestigious university. Her sights were set on obtaining her PhD in Psychology and she gave her all to academics & extracurriculars, until she had a moment of honest reflection. Her dream is & was to be a songwriter and artist, and that is what she set out to do. Sorrycarlee, also known as Carlee Chappell, found success early in co-writing “You Might Not Like Her" by Maddie Zahm, “You’re Too Close” by Francis Karel, and “Strike Out” by Abigail Barlow. Now, she is focused on pursuing her dream to the full extent. She pours her heart into her work and offers lyrics with introspection & depth, all while beautifully showcasing the world of upbeat pop.
