Now THIS is a mood, brought to you by kainacastillo.
. To celebrate, the 23-year-old singer and songwriter shared her Summer Fridays playlist all about, “daydreaming and being nostalgic and maybe, like, laying in the grass and thinking about someone you like or have a crush on.”
The playlist opens with Aretha Franklin’s light and airy “Day Dreaming”, then suddenly shifts into “Pienso En Tu Mirá " by Rosalía and goes on to bob-and-weave through moods and genres. It’s eclectic. KAINA also includes music from friends and fellow artists Sen Morimoto , Jean Deaux and duo Iris Temple, who she describes as some of her biggest inspirations: “they're my direct community and peers and I feel so inspired by them. So I am listening to their songs all the time," she tellsis an important departure from KAINA’s previous work.
An album is a huge milestone and KAINA seems to be feeling it. “Although I'm tired, it's like my baby. I've worked on it so hard and I'm ready for it to leave the nest,” she tells. Once the tour is over, she’ll spend some time off the grid explaining that “it’s not the end of the work, just a little break from the work."
KAINA closes out both the playlist and the album with “Green”, a smooth and rolling song about home that she describes as a “destination point” for. “'Green' was my landing place. It was the last song I wrote on the album; it’s the newest thing I wrote,” she explains.” It's about validating yourself and your feelings,” and what better place to start that process than at home?
