Alt-pop rising star Caroline Romano introduces her compelling new single, “Used by You,” now available on all streaming platforms, marking a bold evolution in her musical journey.
With each release, Romano demonstrates a fearless exploration of her sound, seamlessly blending pop sensibilities with the dynamic edge of alt-rock instrumentation. “Used by You” stands as a testament to this growth, delivering a poignant narrative of unrequited love against a backdrop of melodic guitars and anthemic percussion.
In Romano’s own words, “‘Used by You’ is brutal. It’s unapologetically honest, blunt, and real.” The song delves into the complexities of unreciprocated affection, exploring the depths of devotion in the face of indifference. It embodies the fear of losing oneself in pursuit of preserving a connection that may never be reciprocated.
At just 22 years old, Nashville-based Romano has already established herself as a versatile artist, effortlessly navigating between introspective ballads and fiery alt-rock anthems. Her songwriting, marked by its unflinching honesty, resonates deeply with audiences and critics alike.
Following her highly acclaimed 16-track debut album, Oddities and Prodigies, released in 2022, Romano continued to captivate listeners with her 2023 EP, A Brief Epic, a poignant exploration of love and loss. With each subsequent single release, Romano unveils new dimensions of her artistry, cementing her status as one of music’s most promising talents.
This spring, Romano embarks on a tour alongside Smallpools and Grayscale for their West Coast dates. Tickets for all performances are currently available, offering fans the opportunity to experience Romano’s electrifying stage presence firsthand.
