Ela Minus Announces DIA, Her Deeply Reflective Second Album, Exploring New Emotional and Musical Paths

Ela Minus has announced her new album DIA, set for release on January 17th, 2025. The electronic artist, known for her compelling 2020 debut Acts of Rebellion, returns with a deeper exploration of both her sound and personal experiences. After the success of her debut album, Ela sought to push herself creatively, embarking on a journey that spanned different locations and environments. The recording process took her from her native Colombia to makeshift studios across the Atlantic in places like New York, Mexico City, the Mojave Desert, and London.

The first single from the album, ABRIR MONTE, serves as an introduction to the themes she explores on DIA. The title, which translates to "opening paths," is a metaphor for Ela Minus' creative journey and personal growth. She describes the process of making the album as opening new paths both internally and externally, venturing into uncharted emotional and musical territories.

Another track, BROKEN, delves into self-reflection and vulnerability. Ela describes starting the song believing everything was fine, only to realize through the writing process that things were not as they seemed. This theme of self-discovery is central to the album, as Ela Minus uses her music to navigate complex emotions in a digital age, balancing introspection with electronic beats.

DIA is set to expand on the minimalist yet emotionally rich soundscapes Ela Minus is known for, while offering a more nuanced look into her inner world. Fans can expect a mix of thought-provoking lyrics and dynamic electronic compositions, cementing her place as a rising force in the electronic music scene.
