Bethel Island’s very own Carl Kammeyer is doing something truly refreshing with his new release “You” — he’s keeping it simple, honest, and completely from the heart. This soul-stirring track offers a beautiful window into Carl’s emotional world, showcasing his skills not just as a songwriter, but as a heartfelt storyteller who wears his feelings on his sleeve.
There’s something incredibly personal about “You.” From the first note, Carl invites you into a space that feels less like a song and more like a late-night heart-to-heart. Every lyric drips with sincerity, and the stripped-down production lets the message shine through without any fluff. Recorded in the comfort of his own home studio, the track captures that elusive authenticity most artists spend years chasing.
What makes “You” stand out isn’t flashy production or over-the-top instrumentation. It’s the intimacy — the way Carl’s voice cracks just enough to feel human, the quiet confidence in his guitar work, the smooth, flowing arrangement that feels as natural as breathing. He handled everything on this track himself — the writing, the arrangement, the performance — and it shows. This is a man pouring his whole self into his art.
The song centers around one simple truth: genuine connection matters. As Carl puts it, “You’re the only one that I’ve found who’s caring and true.” It’s that kind of line that hits you square in the chest — because we’ve all been searching for that kind of person at one point or another.
Carl didn’t set out to chase trends or follow formulas. He followed his intuition — every lyric, every note, comes straight from the gut. No flashy studio tricks. No pressure from labels. Just a guy in his home studio, making music because he loves it and because he’s got something real to say.

His creative process is pure instinct and emotion. No overthinking. Just letting the music flow and trusting where it takes him.
Right now, Carl’s focused on creating more music, rather than hitting the stage — but if this single is any indication, the next chapter of his musical journey is going to be one to watch.
“You” by Carl Kammeyer is emotional without being melodramatic, honest without being raw, and crafted with care and sincerity that’s becoming increasingly rare in today’s music scene.
If you're looking for a track that feels like a warm conversation with someone who just gets it — this one’s for you.
“You” is available now on all major streaming platforms
