Oakland bred, Brooklyn-based, alt soul/pop artist, Corina Corina, drops her new single, “BAR$,” the opening track of her third full-length album, Hangover Music. Due out later this year, the album is a conceptual project written about all the aspects of her lifelong relationship with alcohol, in conjunction with themes of empowerment, loneliness, regret and love. A seasoned vet in the nightlife industry, Corina Corina has had a love/hate relationship with her “day job” for years. Bartending has been a large part of her daily life for so long that it inevitably found its way into her creative life and has become a theme in her songwriting as well.

“BAR$” adopts a more empowered viewpoint from previous releases, as the protagonist is exhausted and jaded but not at all a victim; she knows exactly what she’s doing, she’s a hustler and knows how to play the game. All the blood, sweat and tears she has endured from decades behind the bar have enabled her to invest in her music career, in fact, every single dollar she put into the creation of Hangover Music came from bar money.

First gaining recognition as a solo artist within the New York City independent hip-hop music scene, she’s had the honor of sharing stages with heavyweights Talib Kweli and Action Bronson.

She brings a fresh and seamless synergy between 90s-style r&b, dark pop, lyrically driven hip hop and her roots in blues and soul music. Touring extensively through the USA, including multiple showcases at
South by Southwest in Austin and North by Northwest in Toronto, “Corina is unequivocally the lady to follow. She’s firm, beautiful, passionate, and voices her opinions without reservations. In one word: she’s real.” (ItsMarg)

Both of her self-released solo albums, “The Eargasm” (2012), The Free; (2014) were co- produced with internationally acclaimed producer Willie Green (backwoodz), and incorporate social issues from
gender inequality to self-love and resisting social norms. In early 2017, Corina Corina released a mixtape tribute to Run the Jewels entitled Run the Blues to critical acclaim, and now, she is gearing up
for the unveiling of Hangover Music. As one of the hardest working women in the industry, Corina Corina has expanded her message of empowerment and authenticity through writing for popular lifestyle blogs such as like Elephant Journal, G.O.A.T. Hip-Hop, Stop the Breaks and had a monthly column about her battle with depression and recovery from anorexia for the popular website, Recovery Warriors.

Her new releases will continue Corina Corina’s open discussion of personal obstacles, the trials and tribulations of a working artist and
mental health. “Corina is well on her way to garnering attention from the mainstream with her angelic, soulful voice and genuine songwriting.” (DX Entertainment)
