Sevdaliza Releases Album ‘Heroina’ With Karol G, Kenia Os, Tokischa

Sevdaliza is celebrating womanhood in all its forms on her new album. On Friday, the experimental singer released her third LP, Heroina — an ode to femininity that features collaborations with Karol G, Kenia Os, Pabllo Vittar, and Tokischa.

“I started creating around the world with people carrying different energies, different frequencies. Out of that process, a few songs found their way onto Heroina,” Sevdaliza explained in a press statement. “They carry the same thread that’s always been with me, humanity, the resistance of the body and mind, the way women and queer people are still shaped by control and the male gaze.”

“But this time, it’s a different kind of protest,” she added. “Heroina is about wanting to be free, and at the same time feeling how limited that freedom can be. That tension between surrender and resistance became the core of this album.”

The 13-track record includes her massive hit “Alibi,” featuring Brazilian drag singer Pabllo Vittar and French star Yseult, “Ride or Die, Pt. 2” with Puerto Rican rapper Villano Antillano and Dominican queen Tokischa, and “No Me Cansaré” with Karol G. Elsewhere on the record, she welcomes collaborations with Kenia Os, La Joaqui, and Eartheater.

In an Instagram post celebrating the LP’s release Friday, she explained how the featured artists and collaborators on the album “represent different shades of womanhood: resilience, sensuality, and independence.” She explained, “Together, they form a collective voice that challenges traditional narratives and celebrates the power of the feminine in all its forms.”

Heroína marks Sevdaliza’s first full-length project since 2020’s Shabrang, which included tracks “Oh My God” and “Joanna.” She later released the EP Raving Dahlia in 2022.
