La Dame Blanche is back
with her new album ATÓMICA. The album debuts the new single "Mi Negro" and includes previously released singles "Veneno" -
which resounded around the globe with her fierce COLORS x Studio performance (Watch ‘Veneno’ A COLORS Show here) - "Mata Sede" (featuring Brazilian
actress/musician Amanda Magalhães), "Como Loba", "A La Verita
Tuya (Shangó Remix), "Bailarina", "Que Más Quieres Que Te
Dé"
and "Los Fines de Semana".
“Mi Negro” is inspired by multiple-Latin GRAMMY nominated rapper Akapellah’s
"Mi Negra” - an ode to black women, their strength and their beauty.
La Dame Blanche responds with words of gratitude, mutual respect and
admiration.
Here are a few excerpts
from the lyrics:
“Contigo me salieron alas /
Contigo niño fui mujer / Contigo aprendí a quererme / Contigo , cuido de
mi piel”
"With you, wings came out from me/ With you, boy, I was a woman/ With you
I learned how to love myself/ With you, I take care of my skin"
“Mi negro, este es el efecto
que causan tus letras / Elevando mi orgullo y hasta el dia me cambiaste / Me ha
gustado tanto que te fijes en mi pelo / Te devuelvo el halago porque negro a ti
te prefiero”
"My boy, this is the
effect that your lyrics give me/ Elevating my pride and you even changed my
day/ I have loved so much that you notice my hair/ I give you the compliment
back because, boy, I prefer you"
“He ganado batallas con mi
aspecto / Con esta piel esta cara y este cuerpo / He dejado mil soldados
indefensos / Con esta piel herencia de mis ancestros / Me describes como dueña
de un imperio”
"I have won battles with my look/ With this skin, this face and this body/
I have left thousands of soldiers helpless/ With this skin, heritage from my
ancestors/ You describe me as the owner of an empire"
Atómica follows her recent collaboration
"No Azara" with recent Latin GRAMMY nominees Dawer x Damper and
is the follow up to her critically-acclaimed ELLA that
KUTX in Austin called “a remarkable record that merits several listens” and was
covered by the New York Times, NPR, Sound & Colours, All Music, Afropop, OkayAfrica, Remezcla, Vice Noisey, to name a few, with radio support from key tastemaker stations like
KCRW (Los Angeles), KUTX (Austin), KEXP (Seattle), WRIR (DC), and more. On Atómica we find La Dame
Blanche infusing her Afro-Cuban roots with hip-hop beats, trap, reggae and
reggaetón all while highlighting her fierce vocals alongside her flute
performance
In the build up to the
release of Atómica,
La Dame Blanche has been nothing short of relentless. Maintaining a never
ending live schedule of headline tours and festivals that has seen her perform
over 350 shows in 5 continents and releasing an incredible output of 10 singles
alone in the past 12 months. However, some incredible highlights standout,
including her show stopping COLORS session for single ‘Veneno’ and her debut
performance on US National TV for Univision’s ‘Despierta America’.
La Dame Blanche just wrapped up her latest US tour.
