The LA-based pop star finally releases her highly-anticipated album… 

Kara Connolly just dropped her latest album, California Queen, a bold and introspective alt-pop masterpiece that dances between vulnerability and empowerment. "Tonight, I’m gonna dance off all my negative thoughts…" she sings, capturing the essence of her new project, which is all about self-discovery and reclaiming power. Kara, known for her honest lyrics and infectious pop hooks, is back to inspire her fans to live life on their own terms. And she’s doing it the only way she knows how—through catchy, heartfelt music that resonates deeply with anyone who listens.

After a string of successful singles, Kara’s returning with an album that feels both fresh and familiar. Mostly recorded remotely during the pandemic, California Queen is a collaboration with producers ranging from LA indie friends to hit-makers like David Baron and Forest Glen Whitehead. Kara’s vision shines through in every track, creating a record that’s both introspective and anthemic. As she reflects on her journey from an awkward San Diego teen to embracing her power as a California Queen, Kara invites listeners to find their own strength and self-worth.

With her growing fanbase, the “Karakeets,” eagerly awaiting what’s next, Kara teases, “I’m looking forward to sharing more sides of myself and uncovering deeper friendship and community along the way.” And maybe, just maybe, fulfilling that secret dream of being Jane Goodall. Whatever happens next, one thing’s for sure—Kara Connolly’s California Queenis the friend we all need right now.
