EIGHTY NINETY RELEASE NEW SINGLE “2 CARAT”
Eighty Ninety — the indie-pop project of NYC-based brothers Abner (vocals, production) and Harper (guitar, production) James — are back with their brand new single, “2 Carat,” out on all streaming platforms today.
“2 Carat” welcomes in a new era for Eighty Ninety as they head towards the release of their debut full-length album, due out later this year. Blending organic instrumentation, atmospheric production and poignant lyricism, the track is an alluring introduction to a new chapter in the Eighty Ninety journey.
“Our upcoming album is about falling apart and learning how to put yourself back together, and the unexpected moments of joy that come along the way,” the duo add. “The first single, ‘2 Carat,’ is about coming to terms with the realization that the right person may have come (and gone) at the wrong time, when you weren’t whole enough to be able to recognize or reciprocate their love. It’s about the struggle to free yourself from cycles of questioning and regret so that you can make space in your life for a fuller self, new joy, and new love.
”Last year saw the release of Eighty Ninety’s second EP, ‘The Night Sky,’ which served as the follow up to their highly successful debut record, ‘Elizabeth.’ With the release of their two EPs and a number of hit standalone singles, Eighty Ninety have cemented themselves as ones to watch in the indie-pop space.
Their songs fuse intimate storytelling, sticky melodies, and minimalist pop productions built on acoustic instruments and electronic sounds in a style they call “808s and telecasters” — a shorthand for both their music and their anything-goes mentality in the studio. To date, they’ve racked up over 31 million streams and have received glowing reviews from tastemakers like Billboard, Alternative Press and Ones To Watch.

Rising artist Pilar Victoria is known for blending upbeat pop with melancholic undertones. Her latest single, “Headphones”, is here, and it’s a melodic journey through love and loss that’s bound to resonate with anyone who’s ever faced heartbreak.
Pilar Victoria, who grew up in Argentina and now calls Texas home, has a unique multicultural background that seeps into every note she sings. Her music is a beautiful tapestry of soulful melodies and deeply personal lyrics, reflecting her rich heritage and diverse experiences.
Her musical journey started young. Pilar Victoria was writing songs and playing instruments by the age of 11. Despite strict restrictions on social media usage, her passion couldn’t be contained. She began posting snippets of her music on TikTok, quickly gaining a loyal following. “I wasn’t allowed to be on social media growing up, but I decided to be anyways,” Pilar Victoria reveals. “I posted small clips of my songs on TikTok and got a lot of positive attention. It led me to release music on Spotify. I even had to convince my parents to support me financially for the distributor service.”
Now, with “Headphones”, Pilar offers us her take on love and loss. The song, co-written with Nowels in Santa Monica, combines the melancholy of heartbreak with an infectious pop beat. Pilar explains, “I wrote this song during a tough time. I wanted to block out all the pain and intense emotions I was feeling, and putting on headphones became a metaphor for tuning out the world and being alone with my thoughts.”
As she continues her journey as an independent artist, this new release is an invitation to explore the depths of her artistry.
