Colombian producer and singer Ela Minus' 2020 debut acts of rebellion felt intentionally small, as if pounding inside the club with late-night reverie.

DIA is both introspective and expansive, the wide sweep of its songs revealing more of Ela as a person and producer than ever before. It is a record about becoming, from a process that entailed self-discovery at a deliberate pace to songs that seem to collectively ask where we go from here, long after we’ve been broken but long before we intend to be broken forever.

Throughout the 10 songs, mixed by Marta Salogni and mastered by Heba Kadry, the same team behind acts of rebellion, Ela seems to straddle a line between worlds of pop accessibility and experimental aplomb, her incandescent choruses always surrounded by meticulous and imaginative sonics.
