The second single from her upcoming debut album Capricorn Baby (out August 29), “Summer Rain” is a dreamy, soul-cleansing indie pop track that merges shimmering synths, ambient textures, and glistening guitars with a deep emotional core. Castro, one of the few queer, Latinx artists in indie pop producing and mixing her own music, crafts a slow-burning track that’s as much about personal evolution as it is about catharsis.

Originally written in 2020 and reborn five years later, the song carries the ache and beauty of transformation. Her vocals are soft but resolute, gliding over a perfectly balanced beat that gives her lyrics the space they deserve. It’s a song of ego death, healing, and finding your voice again, sun-warmed skin, washed clean in the rain.
