While she only started releasing music in 2020, NYU student Carliane Tamara is finding her musical footing at an impressive rate.
A songwriting assignment turned debut, her first track, “Friends,” offered a playful, no-frills sound. Now, four songs later, the Puerto Rican songstress appears to be on steadier ground.
Her latest single, “Kiss in Public,” is a shuffled and crafty track exploring a certain desire for visibility and romantic freedom. Here, she balances creativity and honesty with great precision, making for a powerful first song of the year.
