KARNEY – How’d a white girl get so funky?

KARNEY – How’d a white girl get so funky?
Urban Rag – September 2001
by Erwin A. Karl

Although I’ve been spinning discs and giving my opinion

for a few moons now, I must defer to the judgment of funk high priest George Clinton who asked the hyperbolic rhetorical question of Karney, “How’d a white girl get so funky?” A first rate singer songwriter who has always supported herself through commercial and creative music gigs (no day jobs!!?!), Karney shows a knack for masterful vocals and instrumental themes, and as writer and producer, blends up musical styles and guest artists like a good DJ – Jamaican dub style vocals, bassoon, and brass instruments plied in the dizzying style of Mojack.

Will catch the ear of indie rock as well as singer songwriter fanciers, with substantial guitar riffs, catchy hooks, and narrative-oriented lyrics.
