The new album “Panal” from Nicole is available today via Nacional Records. Known for her previous collaborations with musicians like Gustavo Cerati, Nicole s latest is an experiment with an indie-pop sound that includes electronic beats, synthesizers, acoustic and electric guitars layered over lyrics that touch upon family, fertility, faith, fear and romance.
Produced by Cristián Heyne, “Panal” was a top-selling album upon its release in Chile and is an emotionally intimate and revealing portrait of Nicole. On the making of the album Nicole notes, “I recorded the album while I was pregnant with my daughter… and being a mother and going through the experience for a second time makes you see and feel things in a different light. At the same time, I also lost my mother during that period, so all those mixed feelings of profound loss, anticipation and happiness came out through my writing.” The critically-acclaimed album also contains the hits “Romanticos,” and “Pequeñas Cosas Buenas.”
Nicole directed the video for the album’s first single, “Baila,” and says she created the video to reflect “A dreamlike journey based on a childhood dream, which was to overcome my fears through music and dance…. the water symbolizes life, depth and fertility.” Watch the video for “Baila": https://youtu.be/SeAixgUrr5I
