The music of You Knew Me When parades between a fusion of progressive indie-rock and jazzy piano driven compositions, all infused with a myriad of pulsing and stirring beats. Karisa, an elementary school music teacher, provides the piano and lends her classically trained vocals to the music, while Cie, an event production and marketing manager, supplies the guitar, additional vocals, and rhythmic nuances. The cumulative result is a musical style that blends a singer-songwriter soul with a pop/rock mentality.
