For Vanessa Zamora, making alt-pop is a journey, not a destination. Her tales of starry-eyed romances and bad friendships unfold over easy-flowing melodies dotted with striking imagery and stirring emotion. By melding sparse folk-pop serenades and lush, electrifying rock confessionals, she made room to unpack her inner thoughts and psychedelic tendencies on her 2014 debut, Hasta la Fantasia. Since then, the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has carved her own space in Latin indie pop, stretching between piano-laden narratives, slow-burning R&B grooves and rap-inflected collabs.
