Pop/Review Kristin Venae - Still Here

Starting her live performance tours and artist development as a member of various bands such as the Latin group ‘Ritmo De Tropical,’ ‘Loose Minds,’ and 'The Magnificent Companeros.’ Kristin Venae's highly anticipated debut album, ‘Black Widow,’ is a nostalgic and refreshing blend of pop/R&B and rock/soul. Influenced as a child by artists such as Prince, Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, & Ricky Martin, influences that give a unique blend of genres from start to finish.

"Still Here," Kristin Venae's most recent single, is a stirring illustration of tenacity, survival, and hope. Following a break from music to receive treatment for stage II breast cancer, Venae returns with a moving anthem that highlights the difficulties she encountered and the inner strength she discovered. In addition to being a powerful musical experience, the song serves as a message of support for people going through comparable difficulties, especially young adults under 40.

In terms of music, "Still Here" is masterfully composed, with Venae's moving vocals front and center. Her storytelling engages listeners with her genuineness and unvarnished yet polished delivery. The dynamic instrumentation reflects the emotional journey from despair to triumph, beginning with soft, reflective tones and developing into a triumphant crescendo.

The song has universal and personal lyrics. Venae's words capture the essence of surviving, including the struggle, the dread, and the eventual recognition of the value of life. Lines resonate with everybody who has experienced hardship because they express resistance and thankfulness.

More than just a song, "Still Here" is a ray of optimism. Venae's choice to use her experience as inspiration for her artwork demonstrates her bravery and tenacity in advocating for young people with cancer. This tune raises the standard and serves as a reminder of the therapeutic value of music as she prepares her first album. Venae's homecoming is a celebration of life rather than merely a comeback.
