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 home so late after something that was so moving, I think I remember I went dancing or something—I don’t remember even where I was, but it was so late at night and I had just the most ridiculous night ever and I was so exhausted,” Sarah Kinsley smiled, recalling a vivid memory during a press conference in January ahead of the release of her newest EP Fleeting, explaining how she gains inspiration for her music.
