Karolina Protsenko once again mesmerizes audiences with her breathtaking violin cover — this time of the timeless Motown classic, “My Girl” by The Temptations. Her performance brings a fresh and heartwarming twist to a song that has charmed generations.
Standing on a sunny street corner, Karolina begins with those iconic opening notes. Instantly, the air feels lighter, and heads turn as her bow dances across the strings. Her version captures the joyful essence of the original while adding her signature emotional depth.
With every note, Karolina radiates positivity. The melody seems to float, carried not only by her musical skill but also by her genuine love for performing. Her bright smile and graceful movement make it clear — she’s not just playing the song, she’s living it.
As the familiar tune unfolds, passersby stop to watch, drawn in by the charm of the performance. Some smile, others sway gently to the rhythm. It’s a shared moment of happiness in the middle of an ordinary day, all sparked by Karolina’s gift.
One of the most touching aspects of her performance is its simplicity. There are no flashing lights or big stages — just one girl, her violin, and the timeless power of music. Yet the emotional impact is immense.
Karolina’s ability to reinterpret classics like “My Girl” demonstrates not only her technical talent but her sensitivity as an artist. She doesn’t simply recreate a song — she reimagines it, offering a version that feels both nostalgic and new.
This cover also highlights how universal music can be. Though “My Girl” was born in the soul-filled streets of 1960s Detroit, Karolina — a young violinist from Ukraine — gives it fresh life on a street in America, bridging cultures and generations with every stroke.
