STARLA Unveils Inspiring New Single “Waiting Room”
Ever feel like life is just one long waiting game, where you’re constantly sitting around hoping for something exciting to finally happen? Well, STARLA, is here to shake you out of that funk with her latest single, “Waiting Room”.
Taken from her new album Fun Tonight, this vibrant, soulful track transforms the frustrating feeling of waiting into a joyful anthem about living fully in the moment. It’s all about flipping the script and realizing that even in life’s slow, repetitive loops, there’s something to celebrate.
With an irresistible groove and STARLA’s signature mix of thoughtful lyrics and beats that make you want to move, “Waiting Room” offers a fresh take on a feeling we all know too well – the impatience and unease that come when we’re stuck waiting for ‘what’s next’.
But STARLA’s got the perfect antidote for that anxious feeling: stop waiting, and start living right where you are. As she explains, “The song never changes key because life sometimes feels like the same loop, but it’s up to you to make that loop fun”. And fun it is! From cool synths and crisp drum tones to her soulful vocals, STARLA layers in beatboxing and harmonies that make the track hypnotic yet playful – capturing both the monotony and magic of everyday life.
Life is happening now, so let’s groove through it!
