Turning her soft, breezy vocals to stories of troubled romance, Panama’s Sofía Valdés built her following in the early 2020s with an earnest yet graceful style of songwriting. She garnered buzz for tracks like "Little Did I Know" and "Handful of Water" before releasing her debut EP, 2021's Ventura. She returned in 2022 with a second EP, the lyrical and romantic In Bloom.
