Los Angeles, CA (September 1st, 2023) – Chicana
singer-songwriter, Doris
Anahi, makes her musical comeback with new single “Desahogándome” via Casa Mija / Altafonte. Leaning
on indie and soul sounds, the single encompasses themes of raw vulnerability,
growth, and community. Produced by Andres
Jaime Espinoza (aka Wet
Baes), the bilingual track is a preview of the singer’s
upcoming EP which tells the story of Doris’s
journey as she rose through a dark period in her life while
finding power in vulnerability and solace.
The singer deep dives into the importance of this song explaining that, “‘Desahogándome’ is my
favorite word in Spanish. It literally translates to undrowning, but it really
means being able to vent with the support of someone. This song was written in a
dark moment, questioning my tendency to isolate when I really should be
reaching out to my loved ones. After emerging from a season of solitude, it’s
so clear to see that we as humans are meant to be in community. But when you are in the
midst of that dark night of the soul, battling those voices in our mind that
tell us we don’t belong, it feels almost impossible to ask for help. ‘Desahogándome,’ at its core, is about the
power of releasing what has been pent-up inside. Not only letting someone see
you in your darkness, but hold you through it until you can get to the other
side. If I didn’t ask for help, I wouldn’t be here today to tell the story. And
I’m glad I am.”
The video was shot in Doris’s
new home in Mexico City where she worked with JUNIO, a creative studio
specialized in creating films and audiovisual pieces driven by narrative,
emotion and inner exploration. Together, they created visuals that reflect the
rituals Doris
practiced daily to emerge from the darkness she was engulfed
by. “From
walking through the neighborhood of my ancestors, to buying flowers for myself,
to lighting the candles that call in strength for all my prayers…the JUNIO team
understood exactly where I was going with this project, and for that I am so
grateful,” Doris
states.
Most recently, Doris was
featured in
Vogue Mexico and was invited to the G20 Summit Sur Vasudha
Concert representing Mexico in Varanasi, India. Doris Anahi will
be performing and producing in partnership with Solidarity for Sanctuary the Canciones De Mi Madre show
featuring Lupita
Infante, Mariachi Lindas Mexicanas, and El Gallo Dez at the
Ford Theatre in Los Angeles on September 30th. Stay tuned for more news and new
music from Doris
Anahi coming soon!
