America\u2019s new sweetheart teams up with John Giddings\u2019 Solo Agency and Live Nation to announce seminal virtual European, Asian and Australasian world virtual tour.<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited to take on representation for Taylor, and help to help develop her career worldwide. This Live Nation opportunity is a fantastic starting point\u00a0 to reach a Global audience. She is a very special new discovery and I think we\u2019ll be seeing a lot more of her in the near future.\u201d – John Giddings<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

America\u2019s new sweetheart Taylor Castro announces\u00a0her first ever European, Asian and Australasia World Virtual Tour, hosted by Live Nation. In an effort to reach fans during a time of social distancing while still giving audiences a personalised experience, Taylor Castro is launching an orchestrated live streamed world tour that will virtually reach various cities on different dates across Europe, Asia and Australasia from May 21st<\/sup>-23rd<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Castro will perform songs from her repertoire including current single \u2018Abyss\u2019 and, the title track to her forthcoming album \u2018Girl Afraid\u2019 which will be available for live viewing on Live Nation\u2019s recently launched\u00a0Live From Home<\/a>\u00a0platform as well as hosted across Live Nation\u2019s regional social media channels (see dates and links below). Viewing will also be on Castro\u2019s YouTube channel post live stream.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMy first Live Nation World Virtual Tour is beyond exciting. Getting to perform these songs to a global audience is a dream come true and I\u2019m so grateful for the once in a lifetime opportunity I\u2019ve been given thanks to the incredible and kind John Giddings and the wonderful people at Live Nation. I hope everyone from every corner of the globe can \u201ccome\u201d watch what I hope is a first of many innovative performances!” – Taylor Castro<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If you know Taylor Castro, you already know that she composes and writes all her own music, lifting lyrics from what must surely be the pages of her diary. She has already made a name for herself in lyric-focused music circles with her previous release – \u2018Girl, Afraid\u2019.\u00a0 Girl, Afraid was a deeply personal track about the singer-songwriter\u2019s struggles with OCD. Castro has now returned with a track about struggling to understand someone who remains a mystery.<\/p>\n

A more upbeat release than \u2018Girl, Afraid\u2019, \u2018Abyss\u2019 makes use of summer-y synths and finger clicking beats, building towards a chorus which breaks like an ocean wave, blending euphoric instrumentation with Castro\u2019s startlingly perceptive lyrical content. In the song, Castro makes use of mythologically-inspired lyrics, comparing the boy in question to Zeus\u2019 son, before remarking that\u00a0\u201cwhen you frown \/ You set fire to kingdoms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Poetic lyricism such as this is one sure fire way Taylor Castro sets herself apart from the oversaturated market of pop music. The instrumentation indicates Castro as someone with a keen eye on the trends of the music industry, with her outstanding lyrics tucked away in a package disguised as the hit of the summer.<\/p>\n

Taylor Castro is a talent caught right at the beginning of her journey, and anyone lucky enough to catch her live on her world virtual tour are fortunate to share it with her.<\/p>\n
