Razteria is a singer, songwriter, and producer from the SF Bay Area. Their recent full studio album, Prowess Blossoming, blends various genres, from R&B to indie and pop. The album features many guitar- and drum-heavy lead songs, creating a nostalgic sound.

My favorite song on the album, “Shot to the Heart,” has a pop nostalgia vibe that reminds me of the music I grew up with, like Hannah Montana. The lyrics are highly relatable, capturing the struggles of navigating a difficult relationship. Throughout the album, Razteria’s soft vocals create an easygoing atmosphere, immersing listeners in the stories told through their music. If you’re a fan of soft indie pop and R&B, this album is for you!
