Interview with CARYS

We had the pleasure of interviewing CARYS over Zoom video! Following her anthemic single "Recovering People Pleaser," pop singer CARYS wraps this Aquarius season up with her empowering and healing new single "Aquarius" – out now! Produced by Ryan Stewart (Carly Rae Jepsen, Tyler Shaw), the Avril inspired track is about growing out of a relationship and trying to move on. In the astrology calendar, last year entered the Age of Aquarius, which means it's a time to relinquish the old ways and harness in the new. "Age of Aquarius" is repeated throughout the track, in which CARYS reflects this exact sentiment. In her own words, she explains the inspiration of the single saying: "When I wrote this track I was going through an Avril phase and constantly had Let Go & The Best Damn Thing on repeat and inspired me to put how I've been feeling into song. I was growing out of certain relationships and wanted to move on but without all the guilt! Aquarius' are known for being kind but also once we've decided there's no turning back. I needed to find a way just to move on." CARYS – the moniker of rising pop artist Aviva Mongillo, has quickly become an exciting artist to watch. Her hit "Princesses Don't Cry" became a viral sensation that has since gone Gold in Canada & Brazil, Platinum in India and it continues to rack up millions of streams each week. She has since gone on to release her 2020 debut EP To Anyone Like Me. At the end of 2022, CARYS returned to release brand new music with "Psychic" & Recovering People Please" which see's her entering a new era of song writing. While her earlier music was raw, impulsive, and almost stream-of-consciousness in nature, she's started bringing intention into her work in a whole new way. Her newest singles reflect the internal changes she's gone through. The tracks retain her classic empowering pop sensibilities, but with a maturity and sophistication that's far beyond her years – with themes of growth, change, and moving past the need for validation, her gift for speaking to the collective anxieties of a generation of young people is as sharp as ever.
