spaceout!

With five tracks that embody five disparate vibes, carina’s debut EP feels more like an immersive soundspace that disconnect you from your thoughts for fifteen blissful minutes. 

carina is very open about her history with disassociation; the artist finds solace in writing and uses her music as a form of therapy. Her EP spaceout! gives listeners a glimpse into the dissociative nature of her life, enabling them to undergo a similar experience. Each track has a distinct character and vibe, and each song unveils another facet of carina’s musical prowess. She masterfully links the tracks by ending them each with assorted sound that pull you out of the track charmingly hastily. 

Opening with a marvel of a bass riff, first track frontin is an effortless listen. A funky production built upon various guitar riffs, the track features carina’s laidback vocals and modern lyrics. Not only do her raw lyrics entice you to the songstress, but the snippet of a conversation between her friends provides an element of intimacy to entice you into carina’s distant world. The next track skets & stoners is a nostalgic affair for those who miss those late-night hazy teenage parties of past. 

The final three track of the EP adopt a more laidback vibe, whisking you into a whirlwind of romantic, heartbreaking and sentimental music magic respectively. summer air buzz – the first single carina released from the EP – is possibly the standout gem of the bunch. A song that perfectly embodies its title, summer air buzz blends whimsically romantic melodies and carina’s velvet smooth vocals to transport you into a sun-soaked trance filled with nostalgia and lo-fi beats.

An EP of distance and melodic genius, spaceout! is a wonder of a compilation that marks carina as an artist of indelible success in the years to come.
