Kaina signs to City Slang, releases new single “Casita”
Venezuelan/Guatemalan-American singer-songwriter Kaina will unveil their upcoming album on City Slang.
Revealed on Wednesday, the artist’s forthcoming release will see a 2022 release on the label. To celebrate the announcement, Kaina unveiled their new single “Casita.” The artist said this about the new song:
“‘Casita’ is about all the people I miss. I miss sharing space in my home, staying up way too late talking shit and laughing - I miss sharing my mother’s cooking with friends and family. It is heavily inspired by early 2000’s pop & R&B music and I tried to lean heavily into the dramatics of the song by channeling that feel. Some music I referenced was made by The Cheetah Girls Movie and Oscar D’Leon. It was amazing working on this track with my good friends Luke Titus and Sen Morimoto who produced this track with my direction. It also features Brian Sanborn on guitar and Bay Area sweetheart La Doña on trumpet. The background vocals feature my mom, my aunt, and my dear friend Nnamdi.”
“Casita” is available on digital services right now. Kaina’s new album will be the follow-up to their 2019 debut album Next To The Sun.
