The track is the second single from an upcoming new album from the artist following the release of ‘Malibu’ earlier this year
As a queer Latin indie pop artist who writes, produces and mixes all of her own music, Kristen Castro feels like a truly one-of-a-kind prospect in modern music, an artist with a unique story and experiences that lend themselves really nicely to her thoughtful and intricate sound.
The artist’s latest single ‘Summer Rain’ is a track that feels steeped in this thoughtful and immersive appeal, serving as something of a transformative release that captures the journey that the artist has been on over the years aiming to rebuild herself and rediscover her voice. The sun-drenched, summery nature of the sound does a great job of showcasing the light and calmness that has come from this rebuilding process, and it has a quaint optimism and charm to it that mirrors her journey as it builds and evolves over time. The captivating new release is the second single from Kristen’s upcoming new album, and provides a moving and intimate taster of what is to come from an artist celebrated for her openness and honesty.
“In five years, I went from wanting to walk away from music to being someone who speaks from honesty and uplifts others in creative spaces,” Castro says. “I want to help bring change to an industry that often dims the lights of gentle souls. This song is the death and rebirth of my musical self.”
