Posted by VMan on February 21, 2025
Karasu Merodi returns with a track that will hit you right in the gut—and you’ll love it for it. His new single, “Pieces,” is a multidimensional ride through the messy world of love, self-doubt, and the struggle to figure it all out.

The song opens with chilled electro vibes, easing you in like a late-night conversation—until the pop EDM beat kicks in, flipping the vibe on its head. Lyrically, “Pieces” is a battle between heart and mind, capturing the internal dialogue of someone caught in the web of a toxic love affair, asking whether love is worth it or whether it’s time to walk away. It’s the kind of track you’d want to play on repeat, whether you’re looking for catharsis or just a killer groove.
“I wanted to capture the emotional chaos of being caught in a situation where your heart is telling you one thing and your mind is telling you another. It’s about the messiness of love and the courage to face it head-on,” explains Karasu Merodi.
Since his debut in 2019, Karasu has carved out his place in the electronic world, blending elements of Chiptune, Ambient, and Downtempo into a distinctive Electro-Chiptune style. His tracks have resonated across YouTube, SoundCloud, and Spotify, building a loyal fanbase. 2023 was a major turning point when Don Diablo highlighted his track as Demo Day Track of the Week on Hexagon Radio Episode 432.
With “Pieces”, Karasu Merodi is only expanding his reach, delivering music that not only feels good but makes you think. The track is catchy, reflective, and most importantly, honest.
