Taylor Castro composes and writes all her own music, lifting lyrics from what must surely be the pages of her diary. She has already made a name for herself in lyric-focused music circles with her previous release - Girl, Afraid. Girl, Afraid was a deeply personal track about the singer-songwriters struggles with OCD. Castro has now returned with a track about struggling to understand someone who remains a mystery.
A more upbeat release than Girl, Afraid, Abyss makes use of summer-y synths and finger clicking beats, building towards a chorus which breaks like an ocean wave, blending euphoric instrumentation with Castros startlingly perceptive lyrical content.
Poetic lyricism is how Taylor Castro sets herself apart from the oversaturated market of pop music. The instrumentation indicates Castro as someone with a keen eye on the trends of the music industry, with her outstanding lyrics tucked away in a package disguised as the hit of the summer.
