Carlina de Place, the 21-year-old independent artist making waves in the music scene, is back with her latest single, 'Selfish'. Available now, the track is a captivating blend of R&B and pop, showcasing de Place's soulful vocals and introspective songwriting.
'Selfish' is a departure from the typical love song, delving into the complexities of a relationship that has lost its spark. "’Selfish’ delves into a perspective of love that represents the opposite of fighting for it," de Place explains. "Sometimes, that’s what we pretend to do when we’re only holding on to the dream of what we could have been. It can be hard to face the truth, but what if the greatest declaration of love would be to let go of it.”
The song's melancholic tone is enhanced by a lush string arrangement, creating a cinematic feel that perfectly complements de Place's raw and honest lyrics. Recorded in her bedroom, 'Selfish' retains an intimate and authentic quality that resonates with listeners.
De Place's journey as an artist is nothing short of inspiring. At just 17, she took a leap of faith, dropping out of school to pursue her musical dreams. Her dedication and talent have led her to collaborate with renowned producer Morten 'Rissi' Ristorp, whose impressive credits include work with Lukas Graham, Kanye West, and Beyoncé.
Despite the buzz surrounding her music, de Place has chosen to remain independent, releasing 'Selfish' on her own label, Bon appétit. This independent spirit shines through in her music, which is both refreshing and authentic.
With only two previous releases under her belt, Carlina de Place is already making a name for herself as an artist to watch. 'Selfish' is a testament to her talent and artistry, and a promising glimpse into what the future holds for this rising star.
