“The dreamy video full of pink hues features Castro singing and playing…The single is a part of new music the singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has released since leaving Maybe April. The GRAMMY Camp alum...could not have gotten to where she is today without her GRAMMY experience.”

“Her vocals on “Surrender” are crystalline and breathy, where the listener can recall the early musical work of Dolores O’Riordan of The Cranberries meets Leigh Nash of Sixpence None the Richer. The lyrics are strong and they stand out by a mile..Castro is blessed with raw, natural talent.

”

“…“Bloom”…combines lustrous visuals over Castro’s delicate voice. The minimal production enhances the airy and upbeat single, driven by a synth and guitar-heavy beat. Castro proves her vocal versatility with this song, which differs from her former country twang and dives head first into lighthearted dream pop.”

“With “Bloom,” Kristen Castro delivers one of the best dream-pop songs so far this year, a song of full-spectrum allure and loveliness

”

“With how talented she is today, I know she will be force in the music industry for years to come”

“Kristen is one of the most uniquely talented musicians I have worked with…I am pleasantly happy to say that the future of music is in capable hands.”
