@@alextint5987 eh, unlikely, she was a huge force at a big music program in college (I went there too and that was like right as she as part of Chairlift got the apple commercial and blew up, later produced for Beyonce and more) and has been a ghostwriter for a decade+ since. She was already a nearly master-level pianist/multi-instrumentalist. This is basically like a "stripped down"/unplugged rendition, probably just a one-time deal for this station as this matches their general vibe. (Other artists do the same thing on this channel)

I could kinda tell she was nervous but I feel like she's really hard on herself, because she sounded really good despite what she said in the ig post xD she reminds me of marina and the diamonds

For those looking for more work featuring Caroline's voice there is a short film of her on KZfaq singing a piece by Handel that is pretty dope. Another cool one is a song with a band called Delorian where she sings in a way that mimics how voices sound in reverse. We saw her San Francisco show this tour (mentioned at 18:00) and it was rad.
