On May 1, 2026, Transylvanian-born pop artist Sorana released her new single “SKINcare,” that’s electrifyingly satisfying in every aspect, which automatically causes goosebumps on your forearms. This single is a sneak peek of the artist’s upcoming debut album, Electronic Therapy, that will be out later this year. Sorana has co-written global hits for KATSEYE, The Chainsmokers, Charli XCX, Jennie, Ava Max, Doechii, Illenium, Little Mix, and more.
“SKINcare” represents living in a world of insecurities and lacking self-awareness. It’s all about praise and validation nowadays, to the point that a person forgets the true beauty within themselves. Many people hide behind digital screens with mass amounts of makeup to hide who they truly are, not realizing how toxic it can become for themselves and their viewers. The vocal performance in the single has a slight humor to it mixed with authenticity to express that perfection is not real and that living in real time is the most important aspect. “SKINcare” brings in that discomfort and conversation most people don’t want to have because no one wants to be brought out of their comfort zone. The single is loud and invasive, which will make the listener feel like the song will crawl into their skin through their tiny pores.
“‘SKINcare,’ the second song on my upcoming album, is a sarcastic, hyper-glossy take on beauty obsession — where looking perfect isn’t optional, it’s the personality. It’s giving 12-step routines, Korea lasers, NAD+ drips, needles for fun, fasting, but making it aesthetic. Like… I don’t do drugs; I’m a collagen addict. Same energy.”
She continues, “The song lives in that space where it’s kinda a joke… but also not. We’re all chasing this frozen, perfect version of ourselves — layering creams, tweaking everything, trying to stay ‘forever 17.’ It’s self-care turned into a full-time performance. And yeah, it’s shallow. I know. I’m in it too. ‘I don’t need your touch, just want you to stare’ — that’s the whole point. It’s not about connection anymore; it’s about being seen. Validation over intimacy. Underneath all the gloss, it’s actually a little dark — starving, can’t breathe, but you look insane. Worth it.”
“It’s basically about a generation that would rather be perfect online than real in real life. Slightly dystopian, very hot.” – Sorana
“I’ve always believed music should feel like entering another world. For me, it’s about creating something immersive — where sound, fashion, and digital culture collide.” – Sorana
