Caroline Romano Unveils New Single "Body Bag"

Nashville-based alt-pop singer Caroline Romano has unveiled her latest single, "Body Bag," now available on all streaming platforms. Co-written and produced by Danen Reed Rector, known for his work with Charlotte Sands and Boys Like Girls, the track is a poignant reflection on the stark realities of growing up and navigating the complexities of modern life.

"Body Bag" captures Caroline’s ethereal indie-pop vocals amidst a backdrop of fuzzy guitars, dynamic percussion, and shimmering synths. This release continues the emotional exploration seen in her recent singles like “Doesn’t Matter” and “Used By You,” showcasing her talent for turning raw, unfiltered emotions into powerful anthems.

“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.’
