Prince Edward Island-born singer-songwriter Kari Lyn returns with her heartfelt new single, “Fall (I’m Not Ready),” a deeply introspective folk-rock anthem that captures the fear and excitement of stepping into the unknown. With raw vulnerability and cinematic storytelling, the song reflects Kari Lyn’s personal struggles with change, self-doubt, and the courage to move forward.

Written in a moment of subconscious creativity—literally in her sleep—“Fall (I’m Not Ready)” emerged after an emotional breakthrough in therapy. Waking up in the middle of the night, she instinctively recorded a voice memo, snoring and all, capturing lyrics and melodies nearly identical to the final version.

Produced by Dan Hosh (Wild Rivers, Serena Ryder, Arkells), the track seamlessly blends Kari Lyn’s folk roots with subtle rock influences, channeling a sound she describes as “if Noah Kahan and Taylor Swift had a baby.” The result is a nostalgic, road trip-ready anthem layered with emotional depth.

I really feel like I’ve been holding myself back from success. Consciously, I’ve wanted to share my story for a long time, but subconsciously, I’ve been too scared. Writing this song in my sleep felt like my subconscious was telling me it’s time. – Kari Lyn

Kari Lyn has been crafting her sound since childhood, drawing inspiration from her “PEI famous” grandfather’s storytelling and the folk-rich ceilidhs of her island upbringing.

With a mission to create music that resonates with those navigating trauma and healing, Kari Lyn is not only sharing her own journey but offering a space for others to feel seen. “Fall (I’m Not Ready)” marks the beginning of a bold new chapter.
