Karen Dió Returns With Angsty New Punk-Fueled Single: “Cut Your Hair”

Karen Dió is back with the ultimate f*ck you anthem. The rising punk rocker is kicking ass and taking names as she steps into a new era - one where she won’t be tied to archaic beauty standards. “Cut Your Hair” was penned about the off-the-cuff remarks people have made about her hair, and it's the kind of superficiality she won’t stand for. Listen to the new anthem here.

Karen Dió shares: “I used to get A LOT of comments from people online telling me "they like me more with long hair", which I think is bizarre. I forget how invasive and superficial people can be! So I wrote "Cut Your Hair" as my final response to all of them. "If you don't like me with my short hair, then you don't like me at all."

ABOUT KAREN DIÓ :

Nothing is permanent, and no one knows that better than Karen Dió.

“I have to be so unattached to friends, things, and objects,” Dió admits, after moving numerous times growing up and whilst starting her music career. The Brazilian punk rocker on the rise has always lived with transient energy, but especially lately, as she adjusts to the ebb and flow of life after having her July 2023 single “Sick Ride” go wildly viral.

“Sick Ride” is a little bit outside what I normally do,” Dió admits. It was quite out of my world and I really didn't know what it was going to be. When I saw all the great feedback and millions and millions of people watching and playing the songs and stuff...it’s just crazy.”

Crazy might even be an understatement she admits, after catching the attention of some of her all-time favorite artists like Sum 41, Incubus, Kenny Hoopla, and even... Fred Durst. An eclectic list, yes, but a testament to the mass appeal Dió has conjured up with her music magic.

And so with the support of a few famous friends, her new label (Hopeless Records), and high praise from the likes of Kerrang!, Dió is proudly bringing the brimming punk rock scene in Brazil to the world. Representing her Latin roots is, perhaps, the most important part of her artistry. “If I can open that door for Latin American artists, then I’ve accomplished my goal,” she says.
