Bodine returns with “Adagios“, a visually and sonically intimate EP produced by the Latin Grammy–winning XAY and Blvck 95, that redefines her trajectory from ballet-stage precision to a deeply personal, genre-blending voice. Built around piano-driven progressions—carefully crafted from Bodine’s own classical training—the project fuses classical instrumentation with atmospheric drums, trap textures, and reggaeton pulses to forge an ethereal sound world.
Across “Adagios”, she navigates nostalgia, loneliness, sacrifice, innocence, pain, endurance, isolation, dreams, and self-healing, inviting listeners into a space where stillness and tension coexist as routes to transformation. The title, rooted in Italian ballet terminology, mirrors her dual life as a dancer and a musician: outwardly graceful, inwardly demanding, and forever in motion toward greater clarity.
Visuals by Ana Sting crystallize these themes into a mystical narrative, with standout tracks like “Ella” and “Clouds on the Beach” tracing an arc from introduction to conclusion—a map of vulnerability, resilience, and self-discovery that charts Bodine’s evolving identity as an artist and as a woman. Adagios is not a fixed statement but an invitation to witness healing in real time, now available across all streaming platforms.
FEATURE INTERVIEW:
How does Adagios redefine your identity as a classical-trained artist entering today’s Latin music landscape?
For some reason I had so much fear showing this classical side of me and also entering the Latin music world with this sound, in the process of creating this album I realized how good it made me feel but also how people around me felt empowered and connected.
The title Adagios evokes slow, emotive movements. How did that concept shape the way you approached writing and arranging these tracks?
“Adagios” are very challenging to dance. You have to demonstrate flexibility, strength, and elegance without showing the difficulty’s I feel that’s what I’m reflecting on every track beauty in sound but the stories I’m sharing comes from a difficult place.
You describe the project as both graceful and internally tense. Can you share a moment in the studio where that contrast became a song?
Most of these song I wrote alone just me and the piano cause I felt very personal I could say there was a healing aspect to it , once I felt that i had that base I would bring it to the boys and execute in the studio with them . Sharing that emotion and getting it to live was an incredible experience.
Tell us about the decision to center the piano. What did you want the piano to communicate that other textures couldn’t?
The piano is like my diary, she listens and understands. Sharing and opening your heart to the world can be very scary. To be able to play and finding that high point allowed me to share the deepest version of my self.
How did working with XAY and Blvck 95 influence the sonic evolution of Adagios, especially in blending classical instrumentation with trap and reggaeton elements?
We trust each other. The moment I proposed the idea they where absolutely in. We can feel the evolution and the connection it’s like we knew it from the very beginning playing with these tones our mind would change and got us feeling hungry to create more in this world.
You’ve spoken about evolution, vulnerability, and healing. Which track on the EP most directly mirrors a turning point in your own journey, and why?
I would say “Inocente” it’s a very personal record , it’s the song that made me forgive and move on, it’s describing disappointment in ppl and how that can bring so much fear and pain.
“Adagios” threads nostalgia, sacrifice, loneliness, and self-healing. How do you balance personal storytelling with universal themes so listeners feel connected rather than seen through?
I think the most important thing in music is that you need to be transparent, people immediately recognize this and connects no matter what the topic is. Opening up to the world is a beautiful thing the best way to heal.
The visuals by Ana Sting frame this music as a mystical fantasy. How do the videos extend or reinterpret the emotion of each track?
Working with Ana sting is a Gift we been talking for a long time and listening to the music to find the perfect visual concept around the project , Ana proposed to me a complete story line where she connected with all my fears , pains ,sacrifices and happiness . She put together an amazing team “all women” the experience was superior.
The project arc moves from Fuiste Feliz (intro) to Tú (outro). What emotional intake do you hope listeners experience as they follow that journey?
My wish is for people to connect with their hearts, I would say that the nostalgic sound will bring you to that place where you once started with a dream and the process to make that come true can be very hurting and that’s where this project ends to understand it was never your fault.
How do you feel your creativity is disrupting the Latin music space?
I think there are so manny new artists opening new doors with new sounds, I feel proud that I’m taking that risk and maybe I’m opening the door for someone that wants to join this sound the more the better.
Who are your SHEROES?
I would crown mother Mary her story and her love for the world this is something that my mother who also is one of my Sheroes teaches me compasión love and respect never to give up.
When you dreamed of this record how did it look visually?
Visually it was actually very graphic and chaotic but Ana brought that sensitivity and whimsical emotion to the project .
What is one piece of advice you would give your 15-year-old self?
Don’t listen to anyone you are the artist create from the heart .
What do you love most about being a Puerto Rican songstress diva?
I think the way we say things there is an Essence to my writing that is sensual very genuine people notice where I’m from the moment I speak up. The inspo behind everything I create the nostalgic moments I have from living in San Juan these are emotions that are always in my writing.
Looking ahead, how does Adagios inform your live performances and your next steps as you navigate global audiences and evolving genres?
Our next step is to keep creating more and evolving in music. You can’t ever stand still you always have to deliver, it’s the responsibility of an artist. We are the messengers and that something I will be focusing on.
