Karen Dió is back with a new banger, and it’s a song that stemmed from and now represents the vibrant community that she has built.
It’s called ‘Bexy’ and continues Karen’s red-hot streak of penning rip-roaring and raucously catchy modern punk-rock. From the scorching riffs to the insatiable hooks, it’s straight to the point and, ultimately, powered by the fanbase that has formed thanks to her passion for music.
Originally written for one particular fan, it has now become a song for everyone who has found solace and security in Karen’s music. An anthem full of appreciation and fun, that now lives forever within her ever-expanding discography.
Karen has told the story of where exactly the song came from, explaining, “A few years ago, me and my husband had a Patreon page. We used to share about our lives and hang with our Patrons in live video calls quite often. In one of these live calls, we decided to grab the guitar and improvise a song live, to everyone that joined the call. Bex, one of our OG beloved supporters joined the live call, so we immediately began writing Bex a song. Matt started to play the chord progression that you hear in the final song, and I also started to sing basically the final version of the vocals, the words beginning to form as we messed around. We wrote the song right there, live, on the call. Instead of singing ‘Bex’, I sang ‘Bexy’, a sort linguistic change that happens as my primary language is Brazillian Portuguese. In Portuguese you add an “ee” sound to every word that finishes with consonant. haha. So for instance ‘Facebook’ becomes ‘Faceybooky’, ‘Hot Dog’ turns into ‘Hotchy Doggy’… So ‘Bex’ ended up turning into ‘Bexy’. And that was it, the song was almost completed right there on the call.”
It follows on from ‘I Hope You Know’, which dropped late last year, and sounds a lot like this:
