The French-born, London-based caro♡ announces the tracklist of her upcoming album wild at ♡ and releases the self-produced and written track ‘4ever1′ alongside a co-directed music video by Amal Guichard and Jim Alexander shot at Seven Sisters’ magical seaside. The chanting, hardstyle^lite track encapsulates the idea of a utopic ecosystem in which all assimilated individuals act as a united strength, resulting in an infinite positivity loop.
Her sophomore album wild at ♡ comes out on September 8th on PC Music. A member of Planet 1999, her upcoming 11-track album follows her debut Heartbeats/Heartbreaks.
‘4ever1’ is this idea of realizing we are all one, and it sounds hippie maybe, but it’s like within this spiritual quest of internal peace, I think that’s where you’re supposed to land. When you feel that you’re a part of everything and everyone, and that everything and everyone is a part of you, there is no fear or anxiety, and it’s the source of so much strength.
“There’s no competition, it’s the abundance vs scarcity mindsets I suppose, like anything good that anyone does enriches you, and similarly, anything positive you do benefits everyone, and that makes any personal pursuit even more noble. This song and the rest of the album is about that a lot, letting go of fear and expressing yourself freely, believing in yourself and your ideas, and thus possibly inspiring other people to do the same, and then it comes back to you again, like a positive feedback loop. These songs are a reflection of the self-talk I’d like to have all the time, the energy of this song and of the rest is the sort of energy I needed to find within in order to feel courageous enough to be myself and carry on doing what I wanted to do in music, in my life, and that’s the message and energy I wanted to give out.
We live in these like gloomy times, but there’s so much beauty to find, and I don’t think anyone should ever feel lonely or useless, I think that everyone has a rainbow inside their hearts, and that there are no geniuses or people who are more ‘special’ than others, anyone can do amazing things and we should all encourage each other to do these things, because we all benefit in the end.”
Her upbringing in the remote stillness of coastal France has deeply shaped her relationship to creativity, “I feel like an outsider having grown up in a place where there’s no cultural industries. I didn’t know the difference between a songwriter, a producer or a composer as a kid so I didn’t build these boundaries in my head”.
caro♡ is founding member and lead vocalist of the pop three-piece Planet 1999 and signee of future-pop label PC Music.
