Exploring the bittersweet intersections of love, loss, and the timeless joy found in memory.
PARIS (October 28, 2024) – Electronic music producer and indie artist Pablo Starr invites listeners into a vibrant, emotive journey with “Story of Life (Sorrow of Love, Joy of Music),” a heartfelt single that marks the beginning of a new chapter in Starr’s multi-dimensional career.
Known as the creator of Fashion Week Online® and a former indie scene regular from Silver Lake to New York City, Starr’s latest work marries the contemplative essence of bossa nova and jazz standards with a modern, electronic twist. Rooted in love’s delicate duality of joy and sorrow, “Story of Life” vividly portrays memories and how they come to life in the present moment.
Starr’s intricate lyrics dive into the aftermath of a breakup, capturing the nostalgic sweetness of love remembered and the peace music can bring even amid sadness. Inspired by electronic artists like Daft Punk, as well as bossa nova songwriters like Jobim, the track highlights Starr’s versatility as a musician and storyteller.
“In many ways, this song is a meditation on how memories of love stay with us, like flickers of light we can revisit anytime,” says Starr. “I wanted ‘Story of Life’ to encapsulate that duality of warmth and ache—which are such natural parts of life. It’s a celebration of the imagination, and I hope this track resonates with people who have their own stories of love and loss.”

Recorded in his Paris studio and completely self-produced, “Story of Life” stands out for its textural depth and careful production, following the release of «Regular Losers,» «Glitching on My Coffee Break,» and «Heart Under Glass» from his upcoming self-titled project, Pablo Starr.
«I did the mixing, mastering, production, vocals, performances ….everything on my laptop. But I’m looking to expand my skills as a producer, and I have a masterclass coming up with the legendary Chris Gehringer (Drake, Dua Lipa, etc.) with Mix With the Masters. I’m also a big fan of producers Ian Kirkpatrick and Finneas.» – Pablo Starr
As a celebrated editor in international fashion, Starr’s move to Paris marked a natural evolution for his creative pursuits. This latest track ties into a broader journey: Story of Life is part of an ongoing exploration in Starr’s music that complements his literary ventures, including the upcoming graphic novel Cyberpink®. Each project reflects Starr’s unique perspective on fashion, music, and storytelling.
