In her latest single, <em><strong>PULLING TEETH<\/strong><\/em>, singer-songwriter <strong>Carla Strauss<\/strong> explores this universal experience from a personal perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>I wrote the song during a time when I had to make peace with myself and my emotions,\u201d<\/em> she explains. <em>\u201cAlthough it is very personal, most people have felt tired of acting according to others\u2019 expectations. I think it\u2019s only human to not want to let people down.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This issue has always been a challenge for the young musician. <em>\u201cFor a large part of my life, and even now, I feel like I must always be perfect to meet others\u2019 perceptions and expectations. There is always that fear of letting someone down. However, I realized that if I constantly try to be what others expect, I can&#8217;t truly be myself. I had to determine if the person others see and the person I want to be, are the same. <\/em><em><strong>PULLING TEETH<\/strong><\/em><em> is my way of saying I want to do what I want without worrying about disappointing someone.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The single, produced by Carla and Ludwig Bouwer of One Big Room, comes from her latest EP, <em>Projections<\/em>, and follows in the footsteps of her previous songs in terms of sincerity and emotion. <em>\u201cI wrote the song while big changes were happening in my life, and I wanted to be as honest and raw about it as possible. It\u2019s like a diary entry that sums up an important part of my life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She believes that although <em><strong>PULLING TEETH<\/strong><\/em> might not necessarily be a pop hit that people will listen to repeatedly, it does evoke strong emotions with which many listeners can identify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>I believe many people will see themselves in what I wrote. I think that feeling of \u2018I want to be more than what others see\u2019 is more common than we realize. I hope my song helps listeners understand that they are not alone in what they feel.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>PULLING TEETH<\/strong><\/em> is her sixth single. This passionate young artist made her debut at 16 with the single <em>Midnight Train<\/em>. Since then, she has received considerable recognition for her music \u2013 one of her songs, <em>Break My Bones<\/em>, was even remixed by a French artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was also part of the group One Voice, which released a successful album in 2019. In 2020, they collaborated on an anti-bullying song for the Child Protection Hotline, <em>I Will<\/em>, which Carla recorded and released with Kalinka Kilian in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 23-year-old from Centurion considers her lyricism the core of her art, a fact reflected in her introspective, sincere, and moving approach to songwriting. As a musician, she continues to grow and develop, and with each new release, she invites listeners to join her on this journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carla will be performing at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.champions4charity.co.za\/\">Champions 4 Charity<\/a>, a charity boxing match in Centurion, on 3 August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>PULLING TEETH<\/strong><\/em> is now available online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get it here<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spotify<\/strong> \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/2DeuJELAzWmYwtlZ9hplNV?si=QO-RPJ4xRBuGcsd4HKOB3g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/2DeuJELAzWmYwtlZ9hplNV?si=QO-RPJ4xRBuGcsd4HKOB3g<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Apple Music<\/strong> \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/za\/artist\/carla-strauss\/1322969422\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/music.apple.com\/za\/artist\/carla-strauss\/1322969422<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>YouTube Music<\/strong> \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/music.youtube.com\/channel\/UCMhJpOB0FiQhbYNK5yvw1EQ?si=TLf-t51mhp1BJViW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/music.youtube.com\/channel\/UCMhJpOB0FiQhbYNK5yvw1EQ?si=TLf-t51mhp1BJViW<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deezer <\/strong>\u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/deezer.page.link\/4u4hNZpenAU63QAp6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/deezer.page.link\/4u4hNZpenAU63QAp6<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Facebook<\/strong> \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CarlaStraussOfficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CarlaStraussOfficial<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Instagram<\/strong> \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_carla_strauss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_carla_strauss\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Website<\/strong> \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carlastrauss.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/carlastrauss.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>YouTube<\/strong> \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCND6uJDFLF6NTgQD1OLkUYQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCND6uJDFLF6NTgQD1OLkUYQ<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PUBLICITY &amp; MARKETING:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>STARBURST PROMOTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gizela Arndt<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cell:<\/strong> 083&nbsp;399 6869<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>E-mail:<\/strong> <a href=\"mailto:gizela@starburstmusic.co.za\">gizela@starburstmusic.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.starburstmusic.co.za\/\">www.starburstmusic.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People sometimes pretend to be something they are not \u2013 or strive to be perfect \u2013 because they don\u2019t want to disappoint others.
