But I found a sweet spot between music, what I feel, and what I’m creating, that I can heal with,” she said in a statement. ”I am very shy when it comes to talking about myself, but in a studio or through a microphone, emotions come out that even I am grasping at the moment. Like my previous work, I’ve been doing a lot of music that represents me. But with everything I have been creating and living these last few months, I feel like I know myself 100%, and I’m showing a very personal and intimate part of myself. “NO voy a llorar :‘)”, is very personal.“
