(January 23, 2025) - Today, Spanish and African-American artist Gabriela Richardson announces the release of her debut album ISOLA, arriving February 20th. The announcement is accompanied by the release of her new single and music video, “Mononoke,” an intimate introduction to the world of her forthcoming album.
Written after a formative trip to Mallorca, “Mononoke” captures the quiet nostalgia of a moment still unfolding. Inspired by the gentle yet piercing sound of Arthur Verocai and the anime film Princess Mononoke, the track reflects on self-acceptance and the tension between one’s light and shadow. Sung in Spanish, the song explores the weight of embracing every facet of identity, from the tender to the uncomfortable.
“Mononoke” marks Richardson’s first time producing her own music and composing with wind instruments. The track was shaped alongside Barcelona-based producer Gerard Valeta, with additional production from Pierre Rousseau, whose contributions expanded the song’s sonic universe. Though the hardest song for Richardson to release, “Mononoke” stands as the emotional core of ISOLA, and a defining statement of what’s to come.
Listen to “Mononoke” and stay tuned for more from Gabriela Richardson coming soon. |
