Rising Chilean artist AKRIILA, at 22, has unveiled her new album, 'lucy miró al mundo y notó que está girando.' This digirock offering serves as an ode to emotional overload, drawing unexpected inspiration from the Beatles. The album title itself references Fab Four classics, reflecting AKRIILA's eclectic musical appetite.
The project features a unique protagonist: a snail named Lucy. This character symbolizes navigating a complex, lovesick world while chaos erupts around it. The album's narrative arc moves from deep heartbreak towards acceptance, mirroring the slow, resilient journey of its snail muse.
AKRIILA's production, handled by collaborators Heartgaze and Vinco, avoids her previous album's high-energy club sound.

Influences range from The Sundays and PJ Harvey to contemporary digirock artists, creating a sound that is distinctly modern yet timeless.
