LOUD WOMEN were invited to attend a private launch of Starling‘s birthday song ‘Cupcake‘ at London’s The Groucho Club. With Starling’s energy making the small room feel like a stadium this intimate show became a concert level performance that everyone played a part in and enjoyed.
This little show for fans who have subscribed to Starlings mailing list had everything from custom cupcakes, dance moves that she got everyone involved with, singing and eye contact that made you feel like you were the only person in the room. She really has a way of captivating people! And with songs that already scream about self reflection and empowerment, this little special touch leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy when it’s time to leave.
Just like a lot of her songs, ‘Cupcake’ is an anthem that turns a degrading view of yourself upside down. Written on her birthday the song is a reflection on how much hate we may give ourselves on such a pivotal day like your birthday, and how important it is to turn that around and not let self-doubt take over but instead celebrate yourself. But even with music that is all about improving self worth, Starling reveals that she still needs to remind herself to believe in what she sings. Having played this before releasing it to the world at her home shows, Starling knew that this was going to be a song that people will fall in love with. Its meaningful, its relatable, and it feels like the next radio hit. But more on that can be heard in our interview.
