Rising pop singer & songwriter Paulina reveals her new single, “stranger,” from her forthcoming sophomore EP, ‘everything’s still,’ out later this Summer.
“stranger” is dark and sultry, opening with atmospheric synths before livening into a cathartic release of frustration. “It’s about the phenomenon of someone close to you becoming a complete stranger,” Paulina says. “It’s haunting, bold, and more angsty than my past songs. It introduces a different side of me, unlocking a new era of music that has been insanely fun to create.”
Paulina is the solo pop project of Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter Paulina Ella Levitan. Born and raised in Long Island, New York, her love for music was sparked at a young age. She was classically trained in piano starting at the age of 8 and grew up performing in musical theater productions. After taking a songwriting summer camp in high school, Paulina decided to dive headfirst into making music her full-time career and headed to Miami to study at the University of Miami’s esteemed Frost School of Music.
