Danna released her new album ChildStar, in which she captured the best and worst of her career, but also helped her heal some issues she had kept for years.
In an interview for ‘El Podcast del Momento’, she confessed part of the situations that she kept to herself for years.
“This album was the first time I made peace with myself, it’s a way to free myself and mature. We drain all these internal demons, traumas, and depression at the party; there were many processes in my life, I’ve been very toxic,” said the mexican singer.
During the conversation, Danna explained the background of some of the hits that make up this new album. For example, about ‘Atari’, she highlighted that through this song, she was able to openly talk about sex and break those taboos surrounding it. In addition, it’s a song to empower women and give them the courage to express themselves without shame.
“Sex is a taboo, but for me, it’s a spiritual and poetic act. I’m an adult because people still think ‘she’s not the cute little girl anymore.’ No, I like to f*ck, explore that security with myself, the sexuality of women that is still very poorly viewed, super macho,” she said.
The song Danna made for a woman she fell in love with
In the middle of the interview, the singer confessed something that no one knew: when she went to Spain, she fell in love with a woman.
Danna recalled, without revealing too many details, how beautiful it was to connect with her, but unfortunately, she never got the nerves to tell her, which she expressed through the song.
“In the album, there’s a song called PLATONIK that I wrote for a girl I fell in love with in Spain. It was very intense because I never told her. So, this is my love letter to my platonic love,” she explained.
There is no doubt Danna, who recently left behind “Danna Paola,” -the name that has accompanied her since childhood- is succeeding and that is totally contagious.
Congrats!
