CASANDRA (formerly known as Cassie Marin), the Cuban American singer, songwriter, and producer born in Miami and based in Los Angeles, dropped her new EP ISLA TRANQUILITA on May 15, available now on all streaming platforms. The title translates to “little island of peace” in Spanish, and the meaning behind it goes back to her childhood. It’s named after a word her late great aunt Teresa used to say to her.

Coming out of her Rabbithole tour, Emei is jumping straight into a new era: Theater Kid core! The independent artist is embracing her theater roots with the new single “Night at the Opera,” the title track from her new EP dropping later this year on June 12th. This is a bold step in a new direction as her previous work focused on a more synth-forward, alternative feel.
