Tora Woloshin with Gene Castello turns heartbreak into something vast, symbolic, and very moving. “Carried by Stars” uses pop music as its base, but the emotions of pain feel big because they are put into the infinite language of the universe.
Woloshin places heartbreak in the context of astrology and the universe to make meaning of it. It’s an artistic choice that makes the song feel big, as if something much larger is tenderly bearing a personal loss. The stars are simultaneously our witnesses and guides through the night, a source of comfort when words don’t suffice. The addition of Gene Castello contributes to the song’s depth and balance, deepening its emotional content.
Their pairing makes the song feel that much more celestial, allowing heartbreak and healing to happen simultaneously rather than canceling each other out. “Carried by Stars” doesn’t sound like other love songs because it doesn’t play by the rules. Woloshin’s relationship to astrology is an actual way to cope with her emotions and get well.
The pop base keeps the song simple and straightforward while also letting its themes soar. “Carried by Stars” is a perfectly balanced release that recognizes heartache while also leaving you with the quiet assurance that healing, like the cosmos, is in perpetual motion.
