She’s worked as an actress in some TV series, films and commercials in Los Angeles, entered the world of fashion in New York City by creating clothing and saving money for leaving for Paris.
French press refers to her as 'etrange et belle Américaine' and her minimalist folky songwriting, fragile, seducing voice were already compared to Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star and the vocals of Shivaree.
Radar
Kelly De Martino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I still see the scar
Your barely in my radar
But I still see the scar
Will you always be
Surrounded not free
Will you always be
All I hear is static
Well I used to be your magic
All I hear is static
Well I used to be your magic
Will you always be
Surrounded not free
Will you always be
Protected from me
In Kelly De Martino's song "Radar," the singer speaks about someone who is barely on their radar, yet they still see the scars left behind from their impact. The lyrics suggest that this person may be protected from the singer, but not necessarily because they want to be. The singer might not have the ability to be close to this person anymore, and they may not have the ability to be free in the same way they once were. The static referenced in the lyrics could be interpreted as the lack of communication or connection between the two parties. The singer used to be this person's magic, but now all they can hear is the sound of absence.
It appears as though the person being referred to in the lyrics is no longer in the singer's life in the same way they once were. Perhaps they went through a painful break-up or had a falling out of some sort. The scars left behind suggest that there was some type of damage done, even if it wasn't physical. This interpretation of the lyrics could suggest that the singer isn't over the situation and is having a hard time moving forward. They may miss the closeness they once had with this person.

Your barely in my radar
You're not someone I focus on, but I still remember the pain you caused me
But I still see the scar
Even though I've moved on, the memories of how you hurt me still exist
Will you always be
Are you going to continue to live your life this way
Surrounded not free
Feeling trapped, unable to escape your current situation
Protected from me
You've put up walls to ensure I can't hurt you again
All I hear is static
Our communication has broken down and we no longer connect like we used to
Well I used to be your magic
I was once the source of happiness in your life, but now that's gone
