STARR – “Vampire Hotel” |Review

STARR isn’t just making music—she’s building an empire of femme fatale fantasy, and “Vampire Hotel” is her most intoxicating offering yet. Blending sultry alt-pop with gothic rock elements, STARR reimagines romantic obsession as an eternal, vampiric hunger—desire that doesn’t ask permission and doesn’t let go. It’s dark, sexy, and theatrical in all the right ways.

The song explores the duality of wanting someone so badly that it becomes a kind of power play. “Vampire Hotel” positions the relationship as both sanctuary and trap, a place where you feed off each other to survive, even if it slowly consumes you. With shadowy guitar riffs, atmospheric synths, and a vocal performance that’s both commanding and vulnerable, STARR turns the idea of love into something mythic.

Following the buzz around her debut “Novocaine” and her fierce follow-up “Die 4 Me,” STARR’s artistry continues to grow sharper, darker, and more refined. She’s carving out a space for those of us who live in the in-between—where pain becomes power and heartbreak becomes high art. “Vampire Hotel” proves that pop can still have teeth—and STARR is baring hers.
