around you,” after a phrase
that dating app Tinder spits
out when you have swiped
through all nearby prospects
— laid bare her pain
after a traumatic breakup.
It featured vulnerable lyrics
underscored by jangly
guitar riffs, synth-scapes
and a drum machine, some
of which she recorded in
one sitting.
During that time, Vellturo’s
friend suggested the
unassuming band name,
which she later found fi tting
for her independent
state of mind.
“Pronouns stand alone,
and that’s kind of what I
felt like what I was doing
with the project,” she said.
“They can stand apart from
everything.”
Her new record, hitting
the proverbial shelves on
May 24, has a more substantial
sound. She has added
a drummer and a bassist,
which makes for grander
tracks, such as the spacious
“run” or the anthem
“temporary tantrum.” The
lyrics refl ect her progress
from sadness to frustration
and anger towards her former
partner, but also deal
with struggles in the music
industry, the current political
turmoil, and trying to
fi nd strength, according to
the musician.
“Once you actually get
over it, you realize what
other problems you have,”
she said. “There’s so many
different things, there’s politics,
the industry I’m in. I
felt used from the past relationship
and very poorly
treated at the end of it. This
music was me trying to
pick myself back up.”
She is already working
hard on her next release,
which she will return to
after touring the Eastern
half of the country, said
Vellturo.
“I already have a ton
of tracks for the next album,
and will work on that
when the tour fi nishes,”
she said.

PRONOUN
Continued from page cover
BY COLIN MIXSON
It was a class act.
Thousands of Kings
County scholars celebrated
the culmination of
years of study at a massive
commencement ceremony
at Barclays Center on May
14, where friends and family
gathered to cheer on
their loved ones as they
paraded onto the arena’s
massive stage.
“It was a meaningful
day,” said Angelina
Pereyra, who earned her
masters degree in psychology,
and shook hands with
the Long Island University
President Dr. Kimberly
Cline as her mother, father,
brother, and best friend applauded
from the stands.
The huge LIU commencement
featured more
than 2,300 graduating
students, including 1,005
baccalaureates, 9,478
masters, and 249 new doctors,
who doled out highfives
and praise to their
fellow graduates for their
scholastic achievements
amid a ceremony that
managed to wrap up after
only two hours despite its
massive size.
The students were not
awarded their diplomas
during the event — the logistics,
according to one
student, would have been
a nightmare — but the college
grads look forward to
