Just as a rose blooms from the ground, 'Sincerely' grows from the soil of heartbreak and new beginnings. While her 2023 English album, 'Red Moon in Venus,' showcased a fusion of sounds and rhythms, Uchis turns to more mellow ballads and poignant tracks with 'Sincerely,' as hinted by singles like "Sunshine & Rain..." and "ILYSMIH." This softer soundBecomes apparent in tracks like "Heaven Is a Home...," "For: You," and "Daggers!"
Three albums in three years have passed, yet Uchis is contemplating the future. "I'm figuring out what I want to dedicate myself to after this," she told Angie Martinez during their podcast IRL, almost grimacing at the thought of promotional responsibilities. "I'm just excited that I finally completed this album and can close this chapter of my life," she said, ready to breach into the unknown.
And yet, Uchis remains captivated by the art of music-making. "Making music and creating art is a natural part of who I am," she acknowledged, confessing that creating music serves as her refuge amid life's upheavals. "It's a way for me to find solace, perhaps even create some beauty from the chaos and stress."
While tackling motherhood and mourning her mother, Uchis continues to make music with a sense of purpose. "When people ask me how I managed to complete 'Sincerely,' I tell them that it's like breathing to me," she insisted. "It's part of who I am."
Contemplating love, longing, spirituality, and growth, 'Sincerely' is Uchis' first album sung exclusively in English, marking a step away from her multilingual releases. Although the album's focus on neo-soul tones leaves some critics yearning for more sonic diversity, its consistent sound culminates in an intimate listening experience, reflecting Uchis' evolving artistic vision.
