It actually made us closer at the end of the day.” He’s such an incredible friend, but every time that he canceled on me, I became devastated, so I ended up writing about him and the fact that it was so difficult to understand where he was coming from and how to decipher him. “I was always dreaming about having a friend, and I finally made a friend, and he’s amazing. “I’m such a sensitive friend, because I had a long period of time where I literally had no friends and was at lunch alone at school,” says Castro of her high school experience. Originally written in 2018, the more slow brewing pop of “Abyss” uncovers their relationship breakdown and eventual recovery through self realization.
And even though all the songs are centered around that theme, it doesn’t mean that they’re all talking about it.ĭiving deeper into second single, “Abyss” dissects a close friendship, and its waves of forgiveness, regret, and trying to see the other’s person’s point of view. “For me, it’s OCD, but for someone else it still resonates.
“I think we all struggle with it in our own way,” says Castro. Castro’s most vulnerable track yet, the moodier and soulful “ Girl, Afraid,” extracts her own battle with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), but universally, the artist says she wanted the song to address mental health, which is depicted in its raw video. Piece by piece, GIRL, AFRAID is unraveling some of the deepest, darkest emotions for Castro, who finds herself utilizing allegories to get each story across, building on something or taking a complete spin. The majority of my songs are like that, so I’m revisiting those and then figuring out how to tell the story.” “I’ll write the first verse and then the chorus, and then I have to come back after some time and revisit it, and think about what I want to say next. “I’m in the process of putting in final lyrics,” says Castro. GIRL, AFRAID is a more filtered reflection of the 20-year who has now taken the helm of her art, digging deeper into the new work, and writing all the songs. Working through all her words, and stories, she’s busy working on her follow up to her 2018 debut PURE.
