Curb Records global powerhouse Blanca exposes growth in vibrant color on Full Bloom, her fourth studio LP, out now — listen here. Also, watch the music video for the album’s sixth track, “Intentional,” here.

 

On the other side of heartbreak, the consistent trailblazer discovers beauty across Full Bloom, which boasts a variety of sonic shades. Seamlessly blending Latin, pop, reggae, worship, dance and hip-hop, the 17-track, multihued collection bears the fruit of perseverance through pain. Moreover, Blanca’s diverse array of collaborators — including Taylor Hill, Musiko, Ryan Ellis, CalledOut Music and Yandel — further prove there’s no genre beyond her limitless voice.

 

“God’s timing is perfect. I’ve waited over a year to share these songs with you. I made this music for the ones like me — growing through grief, holding onto hope and learning to bloom again,” Blanca says. “God continues to show me to trust Him with everything. With my music, my life, my family, my purpose. It all belongs to Him. If you’re feeling like you’ve missed your moment, delay is not denial. In due time, you will reap what you’ve sowed. In due time, you will show fruit; just stay rooted in Christ and prepare to bloom.”

 

The songstress recently attended the 56th Annual GMA Dove Awards in downtown Nashville, where the project’s lead single, “Worthy (feat. Yandel),” was nominated for Spanish Language Recorded Song of the Year. The red-hot collaboration was also named Best Christian Song at MonitorLATINO’s Monitor Music Awards. Furthermore, last month, she flew to London for the Premier Gospel Awards, where she was a finalist in the International Artist category, marking the first time a Latina has ever been nominated. Simultaneously, her collaboration with Ryan Ellis, “I’m Yours,” is climbing the charts at Christian radio.

 

Meanwhile, fans voted deep cut “Intentional” the focus track for street week. The vibey original finds the songstress expressing gratitude for a Savior who diligently pursues her heart and loves her unconditionally. The God she knows isn’t keeping a record of her wrongs. Instead, He’s consistently extending grace, healing and forgiveness — themes that permeate Full Bloom.

 

In conjunction with the release of her new album, Blanca and friend, fellow Latina and professional makeup artist Dorka Jones, are launching the second season of their “Taste of Grace Podcast.” Together, the authentic pair facilitate conversations around faith, community and good food as they seek to become a sanctuary for women to feel known, seen and understood. Fans can listen to past and current episodes at www.tasteofgracepodcast.com.

 

Last month, Blanca performed at the Premier Gospel Awards Show at the Indigo 02 in London. She was a featured guest artist during a special moment with their headline act, the Melodees from Heaven Choir. Nominated for a UK Premier Gospel Award for Best International Act, her song “I’m Yours” is currently at 14 on the TCM Chart in Australia.
