Okay, first of all, the initial vibes of “Summer Rain” is absolutely immaculate. From the drum part at the beginning to the lively riff that follows sounds like The 1975 at the beach, and when the vocals kick in, it’s as if Greg Gonzalez is collaborating with said band. Plus, you get a nostalgic visual of good times in the summertime, proving the track’s intentions aligning with what you could actually feel while listening to it.
Introducing the brilliancy of Kristen Castro, a singer-songwriter, musician, and producer from Nashville, she has started making her own stuff as young as ten years old, and has then been collaborating with fellow artists making her own mark in the industry. Mainly excelling in indie pop, her songs are made to brighten your day with fun grooves and melodies.
If you catch my drift, there’s an all-familiar haze throughout the song that can only be found in indie-type content. It’s the type of song playing in the background during pivotal moments in TV or movies, just because it emits that ‘good time’ energy. At the same time, you’re bound to miss the feeling of cold summer nights and having the best time of your life.
Overall, if you’re into feel-good soundscapes that you can envision yourself or your favorite characters in, there’s no better artist to try than Kristen Castro. Treat yourself and listen to “Summer Rain” now!
