17th September, 2020 – Singapore – Critically acclaimed artist Alaina Castillo dropped the music video for her latest release, the unapologetically antisocial party track, “tonight.” Alaina’s solo rollerskate dance party under neon lights in the video embraces her e-girl, antisocial influence as well as the tracks infectious melody, reflecting its message of the power of solitude.
“tonight” sets the scene for what’s in store for Alaina and shows the breadth and ambition of her artistry. She wrote the track as an anti-social party anthem, re-emphasizing her own anti-social lifestyle and encouraging her listeners to embrace their solitude, especially in these uncertain times. The music video is the latest release from the multifaceted artist and marks a transitional moment from introverted singer-songwriter to pop star in the making. In under a month, the track had amassed over 1.5 million streams, and is featured on 75 different playlists including Spotify’s Pop Up, Pop Right Now, Morning Motivation and more.
