In a Chicago music scene built on camaraderie and community, there may be no stronger connective thread than Kaina Castillo
. The 23-year-old singer and songwriter has immersed herself in the city's artistic culture for over a decade, integral but willfully outside of the spotlight.
"I was honored to be a part of it and have her allow me to tell her story," Deaux says."She's an artist I'm constantly rooting for because her sound is so strong and genuine."KAINA's closest collaborator and"best friend," producer-artist Sen Morimoto, was essential to the completion of Next to the Sun.
Next to the Sun opens with the elegiac"House," a song about the dissonant existence of many Latinx people in America. Their work is integral to keeping the country running, yet they're perpetually othered and pushed to the margins. The track's central metaphor is blunt but effective. In it, the United States is yet another home that couldn't function without the effort and care of people of color.
Beyond simply supporting her daughter's career, KAINA's mother is heavily involved in the release of Next to the Sun, as she is cooking traditional Venezuelan food for a two-day pop-up restaurant that doubles as an album release celebration.
"'House' is like my prayer for the world. It feels like a five-year-old kid who's like, 'Why is the world like this?'" she says."Then 'What's a Girl' is kind of like the teenager who realizes that life is shitty and everyone sucks, and they're like, 'Why the fuck am I dealing with this? I'm going to wreak havoc because I can.''
