Rising pop singer & songwriter Paulina reveals her new EP, ‘everything’s still,’ out August 16th. Across the EP’s 3 songs, “stranger,” “funny (interlude),” and “a song I wrote,” Paulina opens up about an emotionally resonant breakup she went through.
“The title of my EP, ‘everything’s still,’ was inspired by one of my favorite Noah Kahan songs, ‘The View Between Villages,’ she says. “The closing line of the song, ‘and everything’s still,’ really resonated with me. It feels so uplifting, like it’s the moment you can finally breathe again. That’s how making this EP made me feel; I wanted to embody that feeling.”
The EP kicks off with the dark and sultry lead single, “stranger,” which grapples with her initial heartbreak and the phenomenon that the person you once loved has now become a stranger. The second track, “funny (interlude),” sees Paulina wading through the emotional whiplash of the breakup, slowly picking up the pieces of her shattered heart. She emerges with a sense of bittersweet resolution on the EP’s closing track, “a song I wrote.”
“The final song on the EP is about questioning whether or not the person still thinks about you,” she says. “And it’s the realization that even if they don’t admit it, you know there will always be things that remind them of you — like the song you wrote that you know they’ll be listening to. It’s a sassy, mic drop conclusion to the breakup story.”
Paulina is the solo pop project of Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter Paulina Ella Levitan. Born and raised in Long Island, New York, her love for music was sparked at a young age. She was classically trained in piano starting at the age of 8 and grew up performing in musical theater productions. After taking a songwriting summer camp in high school, Paulina decided to dive headfirst into making music her full-time career and enrolled at the University of Miami’s esteemed Frost School of Music.
She made her introduction in 2023 with her first single, “best friend,” which she followed with her debut EP, ‘the show goes on.’ Working with her close collaborator and producer Sam Merkin across both EPs, Paulina has created a unique and cinematic pop sound that showcases her glistening vocals and ear-candy melodies. With the release of her second EP, ‘everything’s still,’ Paulina continues to solidify her status as a rising star.
