Kara Major Is Turning the Dance Floor Into a Battlefield With New Track
What if the rave was never just about release, but about reclaiming something sacred? On “Can’t Control Me,” Kara Major doesn’t just drop a beat—she resurrects a myth.
Her new single turns the dance floor into a ritual site, where spirits, habits, and systems of control rise up only to be torn down. But this isn’t mythology lifted from religion or folklore. Kara creates her own, built from lived experience, etymological deep dives, and a fearless reckoning with addiction culture.
Take the song’s strange origin point: a deep dive into the Arabic root of the word alcohol—“al-kuhl,” or “body-eating spirit.” That discovery lit the fuse for what would become “Can’t Control Me”—a track told from the perspective of that very spirit, daring listeners to consider who’s really in charge when they self-destruct.
But Kara Major doesn’t stop there. The track is also about the invisible forces society uses to tame people, especially women. Expectations, roles, and judgments form their own kind of possession, and “Can’t Control Me” is her full-volume refusal.
Sonically, the song hits hard: crashing synths, warped vocal effects, and a drop that feels like it could split the room in half. But beneath the polish is something ancient. Something primal. Kara’s voice feels less like a singer at a mic and more like a priestess holding court.
This is EDM not as an escape, but as transformation. And Kara is here to wake something up.
With “Can’t Control Me,” Kara Major positions herself not just as a producer or performer, but as a modern mythmaker—rewriting what EDM can mean and who gets to tell the story.
