She recorded songs, closed ideas, and marked the road ahead. Then life hit severely. What she wrote started to hurt. Music, usually her refuge, became a mirror reflecting only sadness. She kept writing anyway, but every melody came from the same wound. This discomfort transformed into a question that shattered the entire project: how can one create from a place that encompasses more than just pain?<\/p>\n<p id=\"eAst2CO2Pgm\" data-wc=\"50\">The answer became Quimera. It pushed her to rebuild the album from scratch and to invent a new emotional language. She stepped into introspection not to escape it but to reshape it. The result is a record that turns emptiness into movement, heartbreak into narrative and inner chaos into art.<\/p>\n<div data-wc=\"50\" id=\"eA4wJSMTVd\">\n<div class=\"gc-col-12 gd-cp-column\">\n<p id=\"e3fsF-NtMHz\">\u201cIt is a deeply introspective and conceptual album where, through different alter egos, I was able to explore different worlds, each with its own personality, sound and perspective.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Maria Becerra<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 data-wc=\"6\" id=\"h3-9awdqq4mi8yih6x\">A universe split in five voices<\/h3>\n<p id=\"eca6EXrNRAi\" data-wc=\"63\">Maria has always written personal stories. This includes her own experiences and those of the people close to her. This time, she went further by creating four alter egos, each representing a different part of her identity. \u201cThese characters were born from very real emotions and experiences, and they allowed me to tell stories from new places, both musically and visually,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fr-embedded\">\n<div data-wc=\"200\" id=\"e7ctyZSUx5\">\n<div class=\"ho-imCo-14461c5\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.hola.com\/us\/horizon\/original_aspect_ratio\/d48cd9faf086-4-mb.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width:1360px) 630px, (min-width:960px) 60vw, (min-width:320px) calc(100vw - (var(--page-gutter) * 2)), calc(100vw - (var(--page-gutter) * 2))\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hola.com\/us\/horizon\/original_aspect_ratio\/d48cd9faf086-4-mb.jpg?im=Resize=(960),type=downsize 960w, https:\/\/www.hola.com\/us\/horizon\/original_aspect_ratio\/d48cd9faf086-4-mb.jpg?im=Resize=(640),type=downsize 640w, https:\/\/www.hola.com\/us\/horizon\/original_aspect_ratio\/d48cd9faf086-4-mb.jpg?im=Resize=(360),type=downsize 360w\" width=\"959\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The many faces of Maria Becerra and the artistic revolution behind 'Quimera'\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\"image ho-image\"\/><span class=\"ho-imCr-1233683\">\u00a9 Javier Rogoski<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"eFg2GyHp3M-\" data-wc=\"54\"><strong>Maite<\/strong>, the tender one, shaped by vulnerability and the kind of love that teaches. <strong>Jojo<\/strong> embodies pure shine and sensuality, with a voice that moves freely without apology. <strong>Shanina<\/strong> represents the fire that embodies intensity, duality, and shifting desire. <strong>Gladys<\/strong>, the grounding force, is connected to her roots, her neighborhood, and her raw truth.<\/p>\n<p id=\"edDRzFLSLpZ\" data-wc=\"40\">Each identity leads three tracks, exploring distinct genres, moods, aesthetics, and emotional tones.
