Caroline Romano Announces Debut Album “Oddities and Prodigies”, Shares New Song “Panic Attack”
Nashville-based alt-pop singer-songwriter Caroline Romano announced her debut album “Oddities and Prodigies” would be released on February 25, 2022.
From the album, she unveiled the fifth single called “Panic Attack” on January 28th, following “The Hypothetical”, “Ireland In 2009”, “Oddities and Prodigies” and “Lonely Interlude”.
It was written by Caroline Romano and produced by Will McBeath.
“I wrote 'Panic Attack' in a parked car after one of the worst panic attacks I’ve ever experienced,” Caroline Romano said of the song. “I had just gotten off the phone with my mom, frantic because I didn’t know what to do or how to help myself. The only thing I knew to do was to write it all down. It’s still not something I can fully put into words, but writing this song helped pull me out of my own head. I’m an incredibly anxious person and I’ve struggled with my mental health for as long as I can remember, which is why it felt so important to spotlight ‘Panic Attack’ as a single. The last line of the song is, ‘I think I’m gonna be okay,’ because I truly believe that— I believe it for myself and for anyone listening. We’re going to be more than okay.”- She shared on social media, “'panic attack.' if you asked me to summarize myself in the simplest of locutions, it would be these two words. this has been a conversation i’ve been putting off for a while. a mirror i wasn’t quite ready to look in, a book i was admittedly scared to write. depression has been the underlying theme of my adolescence. it’s what fills my art, my brain, and my medicine cabinet. trying to piece together the intersections of anxiety and depression has been the goal of much of my music. in the love, in the joy, in the youth, the panic attacks have always been there. and i know i am far from alone in these less than shiny circumstances.”
She continued, “so i wrote panic attack in my parked car, sitting outside one of my favorite places. in the solitude of a crowded place, i called my mom, because that’s what i do when i panic. i wrote those moments down, because at the end of the day, that is where my soul is. words on a paper hoping someone else will someday hear them. i hope you like “panic attack”, and i thank you for listening. i hope it makes you cry in the pretty way of feeling understood. i myself am my own worst stranger, and i find so much comfort in being able to share my life through music with you. this is 'panic attack'.” - source : Apple Music
