Lido Pimienta Announces Her New Album "La Belleza"
A Long-Awaited Release
Lido Pimienta, the Colombian-Canadian musician renowned for her innovative sound, has officially announced her upcoming album, La Belleza, set to release on May 16 via Anti-. This marks her first new album in five years, following the critically acclaimed Miss Colombia released in 2020.
First Single: "Mango"
The lead single from the album, titled “Mango,” is already making waves. Accompanied by a lyric video filmed in a quaint courtyard, the track showcases Pimienta’s unique musical style. Fans can listen to the new song and experience her evolution as an artist.
Exploring Classical Music
La Belleza represents a significant artistic leap for Pimienta, as she ventures into the realm of classical music. The album was crafted collaboratively with renowned composer Owen Pallett, marking a new chapter in her musical journey. Although not classically trained, Pimienta was inspired to explore this genre after discovering the enchanting soundtrack by Luboš Fišer for the film Valerie and Her Week of Wonders.
A Natural Evolution
In a press release, Pimienta expressed her thoughts on this new direction: “The thought of making ‘classical music’ never occurred to me before, but making experimental electronica on Miss Colombia was not premeditated either. All I create is a natural evolution of my curiosity and stubbornness.” This statement highlights her artistic integrity and willingness to experiment with different musical styles.
