Lido Pimienta is set to release her latest album, La Belleza, on May 16 through Anti-.
After five years since Miss Colombia, Lido Pimienta is back with her third album, led by the song “Mango,” which features a charming lyric video shot in a simple courtyard. This time around, she’s exploring classical music, collaborating with Owen Pallett. Her newfound love for the Luboš Fišer soundtrack from Valerie and Her Week of Wonders inspired this unexpected journey into classical sounds.
“The thought of making ‘classical music’ never occurred to me before, but making experimental electronica on Miss Colombia was not premeditated either,” said Pimienta in a press release. “All I create is a natural evolution of my curiosity and stubbornness.” Fans sometimes think that following your heart can lead you to amazing places.
You might recall reading about “Eso Que Tú Haces” being one of the best Latinx songs in 2020 or Matthew Ismael Ruiz’s thoughts on how freeing Lido’s music can be.
