Rising pop artist CARYS, aka Aviva Mongillo, has quickly become an exciting artist to watch. Her debut EP, To Anyone Like Me, was released in 2020, and in the end of 2022 she dropped the power-pop anthem Psychic.
Her newest singles reflect the internal changes she's gone through, and while the tracks retain her classic empowering pop sensibilities, they also have a maturity and sophistication that's far beyond her years. With themes of growth, change, and moving past the need for validation, she speaks to the collective anxieties of a generation of young people.
CARYS says: "'Recovering People Pleaser' is about being in that middle ground in your life when you know something has to change but you aren't quite sure what. I'm no longer who I used to be, but not sure who I truly am yet. I still don't have all the answers but I'm learning to listen to my gut instead of focusing on other people's expectations of me."
