Pilar Victoria

Nearly a year since her last release, Argentine-American Pilar Victoria has emerged from the quiet with a new single in hand. Picking up where she left off with Grammy-winning producer Happy Perez, “Mi Vida” is a slow-burning ode to the dull but consuming ache that often comes with long-distance love. “Don’t go to sleep, just talk to me. Just one more thing, baby don’t dream,” she sings in the pre-chorus, the song’s lone English stanza.

Pilar Victoria is only 18 years old, but she’s hardly a rookie. Having released her debut single, “Wilted Flower,” at just 13, the Argentine-American teenager has racked up millions of streams and reportedly major label interest as well. Her latest, “Dancing In The Sand,” arrives courtesy of a collaboration with Grammy-winning producer Happy Perez and a relationship that went awry.

Many friends told me recently that they were listening to old music from their childhood or teenage years. Funnily enough I did as well. Sort of calming in those turbulent times to dwell in a bit of nostalgia, isn´t it? Well, so Argentine-American teenage artist Pilar Victoria’s new single, a stunning 80s-inspired song, accompanied by a warm & enchanting visual, is just the sound I need right now.
