ASTR's 'Homecoming' EP is coming later this spring

"The music is the same in the sense that it's nostalgia pop and it's definitely R&B-electronic. But it's different because there's some uptempo numbers on the next record. It's definitely an evolution."

For Homecoming, which is coming via 300 Entertainment, Silverman says that her lyrics often focus on industry sexism. "[As a woman], if you have an opinion and you know what you're doing and you're discerning and have ideas you're not afraid to tell, you're very quick to be judged as being a bitch or a diva," she says. "For a man, when they have a plan, there's so much respect. It's really hard to be respected, and our culture in general raises women to be meek."

With the five- or six-song Homecoming on its way — "We're just waiting on some backend stuff," Silverman swears, with a single, "Activate Me", set for late February — ASTR are looking forward to festival appearances in Miami (Ultra), Georgia (Savannah Stopover), and New York City (Governors Ball). "I think we're also really hoping to get radio [play]," the singer says definitively. "We're building our team right now, and we really want to get on a great tour and get seen in front of as many people as possible.
