TikTok Girl

Empty Pinata bounces back with his follow up single “TikTok Girl,” a chaotic glitter storm of indie bedroom pop that hits like a party you didn’t know you were invited to. The artist formerly known as LA Rodriguez, he’s traded his camera gear for a microphone, stepping out from behind the creative curtain after years shaping other artists’ careers.

Critics are already in on the fun, with Earmilk calling the track “confetti at a party,” and York Calling praising his ability to balance the serious and the unserious in his own brand of pop. Released via TRASH, “TikTok Girl” keeps the anticipation high for his debut EP arriving in summer 2025. With his blend of humor and heartbreak, Empty Pinata sits comfortably between Dominic Fike, Vacations, and Post Malone, crafting something delightfully offbeat and effortlessly catchy. It’s pop that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and that’s exactly why it works.
