About the Album[]
The Voice Australia winner Karise Eden sings the blues in her first single, You Won't Let Me, written by American singers and songwriters, Rachael Yamagata and Mike Viola.
"You Won't Let Me" carries a rather poignant message that somewhat relates to Eden's difficulties in life. Known for having to cope with life's bigger challenges at a young age, Eden seems to be nursing her own spirit with the song. She seems to be the character for whom the song is written.
Somewhere in the song is hope. Someone's not giving up and not leaving the other behind. Someone's being stubborn, but the other wants to be stronger than any fear.
It is melancholic but inspiring. "You Won't Let Me" is expected to climb the music charts; Eden already ranked second place in the ARIA chart last week with her "Hallelujah" cover.
Meanwhile, "Karise Eden" remains a trending topic on Twitter Australia. Notably, fans of third placer Rachael Leahcar gracefully ackwnowledged her win with a tweet, saying: "Congratulations to [=, a beautiful, inspirational, incredibly talented young lady with a career brighter than the sun!"

Karise Eden - You Won't Let Me (Lyric Video)
Music!
If you would only let me,
I could show you how to love
Take our time, let all it go
If you'd would only let me
I could show you how to cry
In your darkest hour
I would lead you through the fire
But you won't let me
You won't let me
I don't want to say goodbye
I just want to give it one more try
And I'd do anything
Yes, I'd do anything
If you'd only let me
With your hand in mine
I would show you how to laugh
Nothing heavy, nothing serious
Just forget about all that
You've been stepping back
I want to be your friend
You tear down the walls that surround you
And build you back up again
But you won't let me
No, you won't let me
I don't want to say goodbye
I just want to give it one more try
And I'd do anything
Yes, I'd do anything
So tonight, stay with me
I know I could change your mind
But you won't let me
You won't let me
No, I don't want to say goodbye
I just want to give it one more try
But you won't let me
No, you won't let me
I don't want to say goodbye
I just want to give it one more try
But you won't let me
No you won't let me
I'd do anything for you
I'd do anything for you
But you won't let me
No, you won't let me
You won't let me
