Alaina Castillo is proving herself to be one of the most promising up-and-coming artists of the past year. Her EP, The Voicenotes, which explored themes of loss and healing, was released in April and demonstrated her outstanding songwriting. She returned a few months later with new music, and we couldn’t be happier. “Tonight” is a thrilling shift in tone that demonstrates the 19-year-old’s adaptability and defiance of genre boundaries. “Tonight” is an unreserved celebration of the loners and antisocial people. With an upbeat tune, bouncy bassline, and electronic undertones, Castillo has created a classic pop hit that will undoubtedly become stuck in your brain.
The song, which features the singer making fun of herself for not being able to rap in the bridge, not only displays her amazing vocal talents but also gives fans a peek of her vivacious personality. Castillo oozes positivity, which confirms that she has what it takes to be a pop sensation. The thought of spending the weekend at home isn’t particularly thrilling after what seems like an unending quarantine for several months. It used to feel like a guilty pleasure to stay home and avoid social duties, but these days it’s considered a safety measure. However, Castillo’s “Tonight” is a welcome change of pace, acting as a much-needed reminder to enjoy spending time with ourselves and having parties at home.
