New York Singer Simons Shares "Wine" after Viral TikTok Moment

New York’s Simone is releasing her new song “Wine”, after having a viral moment on her TikTok earlier this year. “Wine” will be part of her upcoming pure pop Love Lessons EP which comes out this summer.

Simone says: “'Wine' is a song that I am so incredibly proud of. The bridge includes some of my favorite lyrics I’ve ever written, and once I finished writing it I shared it on social media and it went viral on TikTok and Instagram. The response was so unexpected that I decided to record the full song and include it last minute as a track on my upcoming EP Love Lessons. “Wine" is one of the more vulnerable and personal songs I’ve written, so it’s been really exciting to see people love it as much as I do.”

Earlier, though still only 16, she released her first alt-pop tracks "Kissing Strangers", “Boy Of My Dreams” and “everything/nothing”. Simone writes with a cinematic eye here, capturing the rough edges of modern relationships in vivid detail.

At 10 years old, her worldview opened up to become a performer when she sang 2 self-written songs at an open mic in Nashville, TN. Needless to say that from an early age, New York-based Simone has set her vision on sharing her love for music. “Kissing Strangers” arrangements are sonically rich to match, mixing radio-ready pop hooks with indie rock grit and singer/songwriter intimacy. “Kissing Strangers” is a buoyant, brilliant earworm exploring the rise and fall of young love in all its exhilarating, heartbreaking transience. About “Boy Of My Dreams”, she said: “it’s a song I wrote after ending a relationship that really damaged my perception of love.”

Born and raised in New York City, Simone first fell in love with Broadway as a youngster. By the age of ten, she’d already appeared in a slew of musicals, and by the time she hit middle school, she was writing her own songs and performing regularly at New York open mic nights, such as Sidewalk Cafe. It was at one of those early performances that Simone caught the attention of a New York-based producer, and soon she found herself recording in a proper studio and making waves across Spotify and social media. With a mix of mesmerizing performance clips and down-to-earth, straight-to-camera videos documenting daily life, she quickly went viral on TikTok (250k followers), racking up millions of likes from fans around the world who could relate to both her unabashed ambition and dry, self-deprecating sense of humor.

Simone’s musically diverse songwriting styles from acoustic teary to pop bops will be part of her upcoming full Love Lessons EP this summer. Besides writing, she hosts a weekly podcast Is This Thing On?.
