We welcome back Colombian-Canadian artist Lido Pimienta this week to tell us about her newest collection, Caribenya - a companion album to 2025's orchestral masterpiece, La Belleza. An artist and a disruptor to her very core, Lido goes deep on topics of toxic female friendship, the lifelong journey to discovering her own physical beauty despite societal and industry pressures to conform to unattainable standards, and why she still aspires to be like Enya.
Get ready to get inspired. We welcome back Portland, Oregon artist Laura Veirs this week, whose new album is the culmination of four transformative years, during which time she says she discovered who she is as an artist. 27 years since releasing her 1999 debut, Laura took the production reins for the first time on her brand new, fourteenth album, Temple Songs, named for her backyard studio ("the Temple of Bloom"). We learn why this album is exceptionally vulnerable for Laura to share, and the skills she uncovered by pushing herself to record the album entirely on her own.
Taja Cheek aka L'Rain returns to SHEROES this week to talk with Carmel Holt about her brand new album, fata morgana, what she discovered about her creative process while writing the songs on the road, and grappling with the realities of being a boundary-pushing artist while wanting her art to reach as many people as possible. *** We are so thankful to Qobuz for their generous support of SHEROES and invite you to listen to L'Rain's new album fata morgana in high resolution audio on their platform - which is one of the most artist-friendly, human-curated music streaming services available.
