Much like the music video that accompanies it, Serena Foster's latest single, "Heartbreaker," is a glossy, hyper-fun pop banger. Inspired by Netflix's hit show Stranger Things, Serena and producer Cory Barker wanted to make 80s pop for the modern age. "Heartbreaker" is retro in all the right ways--harkening back to the best of the decade while still ringing fresh for today. The synths are souring, the beat is rattling, and the entire track is pure exhilaration. "Heartbreaker" is perfect for dancing all night at the club or for exercising at the gym in your bright neon tracksuit and leg warmers. The song is just pure fun. On "Heartbreaker," Serena Foster captures the sounds of old in a way that is lively, energetic, and all her own.





"Heartbreaker" is an instant earworm. The production gradually ramps up throughout the song, bursting with life by the final chorus. Serena shows off her performing chops as well. The lyrics are wonderfully cheeky, as Serena warns her future lovers how that she is a man-eating heartbreaker to stay far away from. The "didn't your mama teach you to stay away from a heartbreaker?" is such a playful line delivered perfectly. Serena brings a vibrant, exuberant sound that oozes an indisputable star power. "Heartbreaker" is a confident, feel-good pop track bound to bring the party anywhere it plays.


Serena Foster is an LA-based singer-songwriter who's just getting started. In the nine years of releasing music, the artist has gained traction for her electro-pop sound and distinct songwriting aesthetic. Her diverse range of musical inspiration is one of her defining traits. Serena's music goes from having a dark-electronic edge from the likes of Melanie Martinez to a glitzy pop aesthetic a la pop idols like Madonna. Even more so, the singer is a big fan of show tunes. Her covers of Andrew Lloyd Webber's classics such as "Everything's Alright" and "Memory" with producer J2 have collectively garnered over 130,000 streams on Spotify alone, demonstrating the range of both Serena's vocals and musical aesthetics. With her focus on positivity and good vibe-centric music, Serena is one to watch, and you can listen to "Heartbreaker" on all streaming platforms now.
