Hailing from the city of Caracas, Venezuelan singer-songwriter Cala Mazú is a true example of resilience and artistic authenticity. Influenced by a varied mix of artists ranging from the energy of Hayley Williams to the soulful Amy Winehouse, as well as the timeless voices of Julie London and Doris Day, Cala Mazú has evolved from her roots in a band to venture out as a solo artist.
Bringing her music alive on stage, she’s twice performed at one of Venezuela’s leading festivals, Festival Nuevas Bandas. In 2020 she unveiled her sound with her first studio release, dropping her debut single titled “El Cacique.”
Taking a hiatus from releasing music while struggling to find the right producers and creatives to connect with, 2023 saw her return with her sophomore single titled “Pirañas.” Now she brings us her latest release with the new single “Todo sale solo a la luz,” the first release of an upcoming 3 track EP, recorded and produced by the talented Venezuelan singer-songwriter and producer, Alejandro Zavala.
“Todo sale solo a la luz” serves up a poignant exploration of heartbreak, unveiling the painful realisation of betrayal by a once-beloved person. The lyrics recount the profound tale of discovering deceit, a journey laden with emotional turmoil and the bittersweet satisfaction of finding undeniable proof.
The new single starts off with soft bass guitar pulses and playful piano flutters before the delicate snap of sparse percussive shots ushers in Cala Mazú’s silky vocal leads. Dancing above the laid back groove of the instrumentation, her voice spins lively melodies and lyrics in Spanish to craft an infectious alternative pop sound.
Peppered with piquant instrumental slides, guitar chords and underpinned by the ever-present bass lines, the song rises up with Cala’s stunning vocals backed by layers of hushed backing vocals. Reaching a crescendo where a soaring electric guitar solo takes flight, warm organ tones add colour before bringing in the final chorus to deliver an enchanting and memorable finale to this sensational new song from an artist who’s overcome multiple hurdles to get her exciting musical journey back on track.
