Nashville-based alt-pop singer and songwriter Caroline Romano shares her new single, “Body Bag,” out on all streaming platforms today.Produced by and co-written with Danen Reed Rector (Charlotte Sands, Boys Like Girls, Betty Who), “Body Bag” is a song about growing up and coming to terms with the harsh realities of life.
On “Body Bag,” Caroline’s dreamy indie-pop vocals float over a sea of fuzzy guitars, rousing percussion, and sparkling synths. In a similar vein to recent singles like “Doesn’t Matter” and “Used By You,” “Body Bag” is another stunning showcase of Caroline’s ability to transform her raw emotions into anthemic bliss.
“I always had this picture in my mind of who I would be at this age and what my life would look like, and I always thought it would be shiny, fun, sexy, and exhilarating,” says Caroline. “I’ve spent the last few years chasing those feelings, but ‘Body Bag’ is a peak behind the curtain at the reality of modern romance and feeling young and old at the same time. I think sonically the song has so many ups and downs, and that’s exactly how this stage of my life has felt. It’s running barefoot on the concrete, chasing something you can’t quite put your finger on, but running towards it nonetheless. That’s how I would best describe ‘Body Bag.’”
At just 22-years-old, Nashville-based Caroline Romano has established herself as a versatile artist, effortlessly transitioning between misty-eyed ballads and fiery alt-rock anthems. Since the release of her 2022 debut album, Oddities and Prodigies, and her subsequent 2023 EP, A Brief Epic, Caroline has continued to come into her own as an artist, revealing new layers of her artistry with each release.
Caroline’s music is a masterful study of being a young woman in today’s world. Her songs are raw, untempered, and full of anguish, hedonism, and introspection. Over the past few years, Caroline has also become well-known for her high-energy live performances. Her climb up the live circuit has seen her perform at iconic Nashville venues like The Basement East and The End, and she recently completed her first US tour supporting Grayscale and Smallpools.
