Pablo Starr ‘Story of Life’ blends love, loss, & healing through music

Electronic music producer and indie artist Pablo Starr takes listeners on an emotional journey with his latest single, “Story of Life (Sorrow of Love, Joy of Music),” a release that combines electronic beats with the timeless textures of bossa nova and jazz.

Known as the creator of Fashion Week Online® and a former regular in Silver Lake and NYC’s indie music scenes, Starr is stepping into new sonic territory with this track, bringing his audience both heart and a fresh perspective.

In “Story of Life,” Starr thoughtfully explores love and loss’s delicate, often intertwined emotions. The lyrics delve into the aftermath of a breakup, celebrating the joy of past love and exploring how memories evolve to comfort us. 

Starr describes the track as “a reflection on how memories of love stay with us, like flickers of light we can revisit anytime.” It’s a sentiment that resonates across the production, where warm chords and reflective lyrics offer a unique blend of melancholy and uplift.

Starr’s sound draws from an eclectic set of influences, including electronic artists like Daft Punk and Brazilian bossa nova legends like Antonio Carlos Jobim. These influences are carefully woven into the single, producing a rich auditory experience that combines rhythmic electronic sounds with jazz and Latin nuances. The song’s harmonies, layered with textural depth, transport listeners to a nostalgic soundscape, capturing the blend of warmth and ache that Starr aims to convey.

Self-produced Brilliance From Paris

Recorded and self-produced in his Paris studio, “Story of Life” exemplifies Starr’s versatility and dedication to creative independence. The production process reflects his artistic journey, handling everything from vocals and instrumentation to mixing and mastering on his laptop. 

While Starr embraces the DIY ethos, he’s also dedicated to honing his production skills. He’s set to take a masterclass with legendary producer Chris Gehringer (known for his work with Drake and Dua Lipa) through Mix With the Masters. Starr cites Ian Kirkpatrick and Finneas among his other producer inspirations, reflecting his commitment to creating music that’s as polished as it is personal.

More Than Music: Starr’s Expanding Artistry

“Story of Life” represents just one facet of Starr’s growing artistic universe. His upcoming graphic novel project, Cyberpink®, is a futuristic musical tale centered around an all-girl band’s journey of resilience and self-discovery. It ties into Starr’s overarching narrative as a storyteller who can move between media without losing authenticity. 

Just as “Story of Life” melds sorrow with joy, Cyberpink® explores themes of identity and resilience, creating a cohesive narrative arc between Starr’s music and visual storytelling.

Fans eager to support Cyberpink® can join the community through the project’s Facebook group or sign up on Substack for updates.
