5. SOLA CON LA LUNA - Alé Araya

Alé Araya, the daughter of a Chilean immigrant raised in LA, dops her Spanglish track, “SOLA CON LA LUNA.” “’SOLA CON LA LUNA’ is a reflection on finding strength through solitude. Following the personal revelations of BELLA, this song feels like a deep, calm, breath. It begins with a realization—’all it was was a lesson...‘—and gently guides us into a place where being alone feels empowering rather than isolating. It’s an invitation to embrace the unknown, find comfort in discomfort, and follow your Intuition, amidst the chaos of life. It’s about valuing our inner wisdom over external validation and celebrating the journey towards self-discovery and gratitude. It’s a heartfelt exploration of solitude as a space for growth and empowerment,” she said in a statement.
