Angélica Garcia’s Color De Dolor is a sonic expedition that redefines the perception of pain and beauty. It’s a kaleidoscopic odyssey that deftly interweaves grief and wonder, rage and serenity, sorrow and elation into richly woven threads of life’s intricate hues.
This lead single from Garcia’s forthcoming debut album, Gemelo, is a defiant refusal to compartmentalise emotions. Color De Dolor (which translates to “the colour of pain”) is a bold anthem that confronts grief head-on, acknowledging its nuanced complexities while simultaneously celebrating the beauty that can emerge from the depths of sorrow.
Garcia’s vocals soar over a lush, textured soundscape that envelops you like a verdant jungle, inviting you to immerse yourself in the song’s multifaceted layers. The rich blend of instruments creates a sonic landscape that mirrors the kaleidoscopic nature of the emotions explored, ensuring that each listen unveils new nuances and depths.
Color De Dolor is a sonic revolution that dares to embrace the complexity of human emotions, inviting us all to revel in the beauty that can be found within the depths of pain. Garcia’s philosophy of life shines through, embracing the intertwined nature of joy and pain, light and shadow, as integral parts of the human experience.
Directed by Sergi Castellà and shot in Simi Valley, CA, the video for Color De Dolor is a visually stunning accompaniment to this piece, further amplifying the song’s exploration of the intricate tapestry that is life.
Gemelo, set for release on June 7th via Partisan Records, marks a pivotal moment for Angélica Garcia. Not only is it her debut, sung almost entirely in Spanish, but it also represents her profound journey of deconstruction—of religion, heritage, womanhood, and self—as she confronts grief and finds liberation.
Produced by Carlos Arévalo (Chicano Batman) and recorded over a month and a half in Virginia, Gemelo promises to be a genre-defying masterpiece that challenges cultural boundaries and redefines what it means to create American music.
With a headline UK/EU tour and appearances at renowned festivals like The Great Escape, Latitude, and Primavera Sound on the horizon, Angélica Garcia is poised to captivate audiences worldwide with her fearless exploration of life’s multifaceted hues.
