Pictoria Vark, the stage name of singer-songwriter Victoria Park, has released her second album, "Nothing Sticks." Following her debut album in 2022, Vark continues to impress with this new collection of indie-rock music. The album is described as the ideal soundtrack for spring road trips, featuring soft guitar sounds and emotional storytelling. Vark’s music reflects her experience as a young person exploring various emotions and places. In the song "San Diego," she captures the essence of feeling disconnected yet present in the moment. Vark grew up in New Jersey, influenced by classic sounds, and she often writes her songs on bass, giving them a unique tone. Her lyrics dive into the struggles of being in your 20s. In “I Sing What I See,” she expresses regret and confusion about choices made during this turbulent time. With clever lines, she sketches a vivid picture of indie life, where friendship and stability can be fleeting. Songs like “I Pushed It Down” highlight the challenge of finding understanding and connection in the music scene. Collaborating with producers Bradford Krieger and Gavin Caine, Vark expanded her sound in a proper studio. Tracks like “Lucky Superstar” showcase her skills with guitar, while “San Diego” offers a clever take on the highs and lows of youth. With a mix of hopeful and realistic lyrics, "Nothing Sticks" captures the feeling of searching for purpose and connection. Vark's honest reflections resonate beyond the indie music scene, revealing a universal quest for belonging and understanding. Fans will likely appreciate her journey as she transforms her experiences into memorable music.
