Transform pain into songs that embrace.
The Mexican singer-songwriter opens her heart in Aua debut that has connected with thousands of people who seek containment, honesty and company in music.
In a musical panorama saturated with ephemeral trends, Paloma Morphy emerges with an intimate and deeply human proposal. His first album, Auis not only an exercise in vulnerability, but a manifesto about music's ability to heal, accompany and build bridges between shared experiences. With a tour underway and an ever-growing community, Pigeon invites us to enter a universe where sadness becomes light and each song works like a hug.
GO!: Your debut album Au It is an emotional alchemy: transforming pain into gold. What was the first moment you felt that a difficult emotion could be turned into something valuable through music?
PM: When I started composing I realized that, through songs, I healed. It was like a channel to release all those repressed and accumulated emotions that I carried inside.
GO!: Many of your songs touch on topics such as anxiety, grief, sadness or unrequited love, but from an honest place without drama. How easy or difficult was it to show yourself so vulnerable on your first album?
PM: It was something natural. Writing this record was born out of necessity, so I didn't really think about it too much, I just wrote what I needed to write.
GO!: Au has found a very strong echo in a generation that is also seeking containment. What have you learned from your fan community since you started sharing your songs?
PM: That we are all going through something. We all have a wound, a weight, something we want to let go of. We all, at some point, feel alone and seek to be accompanied. I think that Au connect for that. It has made me feel very supported and discover that there are so many people who feel like me.
GO!: girAu It's not just a tour, it's almost a sensory and emotional experience. How did you imagine these concerts? What do you want to offer beyond show?
PM: I want those who attend to feel something, to have a moment of revelation, to question themselves, to awaken the desire to know each other and connect, all in a space free of judgment.
GO!: What does it mean to you to take your universe to different parts of the country?
PM: It's a dream come true. I'm so grateful that this album, and the people who have embraced it, is giving me the opportunity to travel doing what I love most: playing and singing live.
GO!: Musically, Au It sounds very personal but also very current. What references or influences helped build this sound?
PM: Just what I was looking for. Au was not using references so that the sound was completely mine. It's the sound with which I discovered myself musically.
GO!: How do you find the balance between talking about very intimate topics and at the same time making songs that accompany you, that don't feel heavy, but rather like a hug?
PM: I think the balance is that the productions are more moving, while the lyrics are sadder and deeper. That duality helps: on the one hand there are lyrics full of emotions, and on the other, more friendly and even happy arrangements. Although I was going through a lot of sadness, I have always been a happy person, and I wanted that to be reflected in my songs as well.
GO!: For those who still don't know your music, what would be the best song to add to your discography and why?
PM: I would say “what one day was”because it was the first and the one that opened the doors to a large audience for me.
GO!: Describe Paloma Morphy in three words.
PM: Honest, authentic, creative.
