XTINE Unfolds a New Chapter with “Back Then” and Hints at Upcoming EP

XTINE doesn’t make music to please the room — she makes it to fill the silence that follows truth. After delivering two emotionally charged singles earlier this year, the LA-based artist is preparing to unveil her next offering, “Back Then,” arriving on October 31. The track marks the start of a new era, one that leans into reflection while refusing to lose the fire that’s defined her sound.

Her recent single “No Matter What” hit like a storm that wouldn’t settle. It was a dark, piercing exploration of endurance — of what it means to keep going when every instinct says to stop. The song paired haunting vocals with cinematic tension, proving that XTINE’s strength lies not just in what she says but how she allows silence to breathe around it.

Then came “Nobody Stays,” a different kind of heartbreak. It was stripped back, intimate, and brutally honest. Where “No Matter What” screamed through the pain, “Nobody Stays” whispered its aftermath. It carried the stillness of a dimly lit apartment at midnight, when memories refuse to leave and you finally admit to yourself what’s been lost.

Now, with “Back Then,” XTINE looks inward once again—but this time, with a sense of release. The upcoming single promises a blend of nostalgia and renewal, balancing her signature emotional grit with melodic clarity. It captures that moment when you look back not to mourn, but to understand.

Beyond the single, XTINE has more in store. She’s currently preparing a new EP, with details set to be revealed soon. If her recent work is any indication, it will be another fearless dive into the depths of human emotion, translated through her distinct fusion of cinematic soundscapes and raw lyrical candor.

Each release from XTINE feels like a page in a diary she’s brave enough to read aloud. “Back Then” isn’t just a continuation — it’s the moment the story begins to turn toward something new.
