This is the second time, the entirety of Uchis’ album is in the Spanish language, the first being Sin Miedo (del Amor y Otros Demonios) in 2020. Her latest album was released on January 12th and has hit #1 within two weeks of its release date. 

Uchis expressed in a statement that she, “wish[es] to re-define the way we look at Latinas in music,” and the success of this album exceeds her goals. Some of the biggest Latino artists who feature on Oriquídeas include Peso Pluma and Karol G. 

In a post expressing her gratitude to fans and those who have supported her, Uchis includes never-before-seen pictures of her maternity. Uchis publicly announced her pregnancy via an Instagram post shortly before her album dropped and has proudly posted her tummy growth ever since.

My favorite thing in the whole world is music and after hearing “One” by Swedish House Mafia for the first time in 2014, I was hooked on EDM. Dance music has been a large part of who I am and will always be searching for new ways to incorporate it in my life. The pure bliss that I feel from live shows is a feeling I never want to stop chasing (iykyk). Some of my favorite artists are Flume, Rüfüs Du Sol, Mindchatter, Disclosure, Dom Dolla and Fred Again.. 🙂
