Intro：Karmina是由一支来自美国旧金山的姐妹花Kelly & Kamille组成的Pop/Rock乐队。Karmina在拉丁语中翻译为"歌曲"，同时也包含着Karmina是拥有天赋，技艺，决心并存的音乐家之意。因为在童年时期受到了良好的音乐熏陶，Karmina无论从创作，演唱，制作方面都表现得如鱼得水，2008年首张专辑就由Karmina姐妹一手包办，早早地成为集创作表演为一体的实力派新人。她们第一支主打单曲"The Kiss"即推出就受到业界一致好评，该歌的创作灵感来自于莎士比亚著名剧本"罗密欧与朱丽叶"，渗透出一种被周遭人世所禁锢的唯美爱情。[由 kcjojo搜集编译]"The Kiss"MV同样拍得出色，贴切地迎合了所要表达的主题和剧情。剧组更是请来电视喜剧明星Amanda Ireton担当主演。当然，专辑里我最喜欢的歌也是"The Kiss"，歌曲意境呈现着一番云雾缭绕的朦胧感，吉他弦随意的互相参差挑逗，将“被禁锢之恋”的主题缓缓推向高潮，只要一个淡淡的吻就可以认定永不离分...But then you kissed me and suddenly I don’t care any more Something in me tells me you’re the one I’m looking for...歌词与旋律的结合最终沉淀为对人性深深的思考。
如果你同样喜欢The Veronicas,Aly & Aj等女子乐队的话，相信Karmina的歌也一定会紧紧抓住你的心灵，她们告别了喧闹不羁的摇滚宣言，更多了份淡定的内敛和委婉，所以一定要推荐给各位听听！

by Matthew Chisling Beautiful ladies with haunting voices, the duo Karmina's first full-length release, "Backwards Into Beauty", is a delectable serving of mainstream adult-alternative music. The album is a true rare musical gem; the voices of Kelly and Kamille Rudisill harmonizing over this eleven track sampling are a great showing of true acoustic talent. Swaying from rocking up-tempo beats to glowing ballads, the girls seamlessly string each tune together like a strand of pearls for an impressive listen. The overall feel of the album is a bit of a throwback to the late sixties and early seventies, reminiscent of Joni Mitchell in a singer-songwriter sense of an artist. Five of the eleven tracks are not new however; the duo released an EP entitled "The Kiss" in 2006. The tracks from the EP are the strongest for the most part; "The Kiss", "The Whoa Song", and "Stay" are all fan-favorites where the singing sisters croon over love and loss. There are some new additions that can be highly praised though, such as the sentimental "Colorblind" and "Satelites", which act as bookends to the disc. There are no true faults on the album, but some of the songs slush together as many are similar, so when true hits appear (like "The Kiss", one of the strongest alternative-adult pop songs in a long time), they are amplified and other tracks seem feeble in comparison ("Sympathy" is a solid song, but it fails to hold water against some of the biggest beats). Then again, the quality of the songs overall are so strong, that a "feeble" track on this album might be a hit on any other adult-alternative album. Overall, the collection is buoyed by strong instrumentals and well-penned lyrics, while the girls sweet personal sounds serve as icing for the songs. The girls define themselves as strong artists who have a set path ahead of them, similar to Anna Nalick or Delta Goodrem. Therefore, "Backwards Into Beauty" is an exceedingly pleasant pop album that will keep fans and casual listeners enticed with the poise, panache, and finesse of a duo whose presence on adult-alternative music is appreciated and should be anticipated for a long time.

Lyrics：

I know we don’t belong
Everyone says it’s wrong
We come from different ways
So I tried to erase everything that I felt
That I felt

CHORUS:
But then you kissed me and suddenly I don’t care any more
Something in me tells me you’re the one I’m looking for
But then you kissed me and suddenly I don’t care any more
Something in me tells me you’re the one I’m looking for
From the KISS
From the KISS

My heart is getting loud
I’m trying to keep it down
I wish the world could hear
But I can’t help but fear that they’ll take you away
You away

CHORUS:
But then you kissed me and suddenly I don’t care any more
Something in me tells me you’re the one I’m looking for
But then you kissed me and suddenly I don’t care any more
Something in me tells me you’re the one I’m looking for
From the KISS
From the KISS

BRIDGE:
Palm to palm
Let lips do what hands do
They pray
Is it a sin
To do what we want to?
Don’t care where we’ve been
Give me my sin again

CHORUS:
But then you kissed me and suddenly I don’t care any more
Something in me tells me you’re the one I’m looking for
But then you kissed me and suddenly I don’t care any more
Something in me tells me you’re the one I’m looking for
From the KISS
From the KISS
