THE TAKE 5 SERIES
KAREN HARDING
Karen Harding is an English singer and songwriter best known for “Say Something” (2015). The success of the single is especially impressive when considering that it was her very first release. The song entered the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart, peaking at #7.
Before releasing her own music, Harding took her vocal talent to the national stage and on the screen: in 2010, she competed in Eurovision: Your Country Needs You, a televised contest to determine who would represent the United Kingdom in that year’s Eurovision Song Contest. A few years later, she competed in The X Factor.
These two competitions were certainly not the last time Harding featured on national television: in 2016, Harding was selected to perform the English national anthem at the 2016 FA Cup Final.
Her latest release is “Morning,” a single released earlier this year with Ultra Records. It is a collaboration with English DJ Shift K3Y. Within a few weeks the single garnered over a million streams. Currently, she is working on an EP to release later this year.
