Pilar Victoria – 'Space Song'
While we wait for Billie Eilish to get back on the mic, you should definitely lend an ear to this pop wunderkind. fourteen-year-old Pilar Victoria shares gorgeous new single ‘Space Song’ and sets the bar ridiculously high.
Written and produced in her bedroom, Pilar Victoria creates beautiful dark pop sceneries. Gently flowing melodies and a backdrop of melancholic guitar lines are the main ingredients making ‘Space Song’ feel endless. But an ear for beautiful melody progressions isn’t the only skill that puts Victoria on the map as one to watch. Her stunning vocals whisk you away, inviting you to float through the vastness of space as she soars into a brilliant chorus - “Floating galaxies in my room, wishing I could just fly to Neptune. I guess you’re happier with the stars. Maybe I could fly to Mars, bottling up feelings in a jar.”
Intriguing and other-wordly, ‘Space Song’ fuels anticipation for Pilar Victoria’s upcoming debut EP. With immersive soundscapes and intricate lyricism, she most definitely has what it takes to steal hearts in no time.
