Tell us about your new single
“El 100” is a song that was born in the studio among very talented creators. Everyone from different parts of the world and you can hear it in the song. Energy was great and without even realizing we had pretty much finished the song that same day. Danny and I cut final vocals just like that, maybe 3 takes max. It’s a song that talks about feeling a bit heart broken but still starting to have feelings for someone new. For me it’s a reminder that the heart can be open to love even when the mind is still stuck in the past and grieving.
What propelled the new look and sound
Honestly just being real with myself right now, exploring and playing around. Looking forward to step out of the comfort zone. The new look just feels authentic to me, its maximal, boho, playful, risky, still earthy roots.
What can we expect in this new era
Freshness, authenticity and spice. What lyric from the new single hits closest to home – “ella amó y no la amaron de vuelta.” Been dwelling with a break up recently and I have so much to say.
What is your writing process
It depends. I love writing by myself when I feel inspired. I get inspired in random places, so I try to jump into it when it comes. I love working with people too, learning to co-create without egos it’s very interesting and important in order to stay in a flow, always remembering that we’re here for the music. What more can the song be asking for?
How is your creativity disrupting the world of Latin music
By being real and myself. For me it’s always been important to connect to the music I put out, be genuine, go by my own rules, risky, playful… I care so much about details and quality. And I believe in the power of words and the power of music, for me it’s important to use this beautiful tool to create life, healing, connection, love.
There has never been just one version of TiaCorine. The Winston-Salem native can float over a beat with a sugary melody before switching into a razor-sharp flow, step out in colorful hair, mile-long nails and full glam one day, then happily spend the next barefaced and dressed like Adam Sandler. Trying to place her neatly
The group chat is intense, somebody needs to reread that text before sending it, and the universe would like everyone to stop making permanent decisions based on temporary emotions.
