Mary J. Blige's artist Starshell releases the nostalgic ballad "My Star," an emotional record about the lost of a loved one. Following up her buzzing club offerings "Birthday Girl" and "SuperLuva," the new record is a beautifully written piano gift that Starshell wants to share to uplift people, instead of making them sad.
"My Star" was written about Starshell's elder sister Starchelle, who committed suicide when the singer was 12 years old. "I pour my emotion into my art. And each song doesn’t have to correlate to the tragedy, but it does have to bring light," says Starchell.
Starshell's forthcoming debut album will arrive on Mary J. Blige's Matriarch/Interscope Records later this year.
“My Star” by Starshell is an enchanting pop ballad that captures the essence of unwavering devotion and admiration. Set against a backdrop of ethereal melodies and uplifting rhythms, the song serves as a heartfelt tribute to the guiding light in one’s life.
Starshell’s emotive vocals shine as she expresses deep gratitude and reverence for her “star,” the person who illuminates her world with love and support. Through poignant lyrics and soaring melodies, she paints a vivid portrait of the profound impact this individual has had on her life, conveying a sense of awe and admiration that is both stirring and sincere.
The production, with its lush instrumentation and dynamic arrangement, adds to the song’s emotional resonance, creating a captivating sonic landscape that transports listeners on a journey of love and appreciation.
“My Star” is more than just a song; it’s a testament to the power of love and the profound influence that certain individuals can have on our lives. With its heartfelt lyrics and uplifting melodies, it serves as a beautiful reminder to cherish and celebrate the special people who light up our world and guide us through life’s journey.
