Caroline Reilly is kicking off 2025 with a bang. On April 18, the Atlanta pop-rock rising star dropped a revamped version of her fan-favorite track “21,” this time enlisting powerhouse vocalist Geena Fontanella to help turn up the volume—and the emotion.
The reimagined “21” keeps its core intact: all the angsty pop-punk energy that made fans fall in love with it in the first place. But Fontanella’s addition adds a new layer of depth and electricity. Her striking vocals complement Reilly’s raw delivery, giving the track a dynamic edge that feels both familiar and entirely fresh.
“Getting Geena on this track was a dream come true,” Reilly shared. “She quite literally just found my song on TikTok, DMed me, and the rest is history. She really brought ‘21’ to life with her insane lyricism and killer vocals. Couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off 2025.”
This marks Reilly’s first release since her attention-grabbing cover of Kesha’s “Die Young” and her appearance on Ray Hawthorne’s “Drunk Texts.” With “21” already gaining traction across social media and streaming platforms, it’s clear that Reilly knows how to keep the momentum going.
Since launching her artist project at 18, Caroline Reilly has been steadily building a name for herself in the pop-rock scene. Known for channeling the spirit of early 2000s pop punk with her own unique twist, she’s shared stages with bands like Lit, Stand Atlantic, and Icon for Hire—all while staying fiercely independent and rooted in authenticity.
Reilly’s music explores the highs and lows of love and heartbreak with striking honesty, and she’s become a vocal advocate for women in music. Whether she’s collaborating with other female-led artists or connecting with fans online, she’s constantly working to create space and community in a scene that often needs more of both.
If “21” is any indication, 2025 is shaping up to be a major year for Caroline Reilly—and we’ll be watching every step of the way.
