Sophie Castillo Releases Her Highly Anticipated EP “Like A Star”—Out Now!
The London-born R&B singer-songwriter Sophie Castillo beckoned to all the baddies in the audience with suave reggaeton-inflected tracks. With both Cuban and Colombian ancestry her new project is the perfect fusion of her cultural roots and European upbringing. With a rapidly growing global fanbase, Sophie is again proving that her sound knows no borders. The indie alt-pop songstress has established herself as one of the most exciting independent artists leading the UK Latin music scene and is now setting her sights on the U.S. market.
Like A Star features standout track “Pa’ Volar”, a heartfelt bolero that closes the EP and ties together the journey of the character Sophie created for this project. It’s a song of resilience and acceptance, embracing every hardship as a necessary step toward growth. Other highlights from the EP include the bold, cinematic title track “Like A Star”, which marks Sophie’s dive into a darker pop direction inspired by film and the allure of being seen; and “The Betrayal”, an emotionally charged portrayal of heartbreak that blends soft, melancholic tones with harsh, powerful elements.
Sophie Castillo is no stranger to sonic experimentation, seamlessly weaving a variety of genres into her signature dreamy, bilingual sound. On “Like A Star”, she explores new territory while staying rooted in what she calls dark pop, a blend of ethereal textures, emotional depth, and bold rhythms. So we want to know, have you streamed Sophie’s newest project yet, and if not, what are you waiting for?
