Laiza Valdés is a woman of unapologetic confidence and magnetic energy, which she brings to "On My Own," her swirling, anthemic new single that mingles electronica, folk, funk, and Afrobeat in a sound as rich and defiant as her story.
Merging Spanish and English lyrics with pulsating rhythms and unmistakable groove, Valdés makes you feel seen. The song is a jubilation and a protest, and it grew out of a very personal time in her life. But since the singer assumed leadership of her father's band during his illness and navigated an industry that often overlooked her talent, Laiza has poured that emotional weight and transformation into "On My Own."
What comes through is a catchy and emotionally affecting track. It's a statement of self-worth, womanhood, and resilience. Whether working out or waking up and dancing the doubts away, Valdés has gifted you a bright reminder that joy is resistance and movement is power.
There's also a pretty undeniable commercial appeal at play here, one that could land this on playlists across the Afrobeat, funk, and pop spectrums, giving the song staying power. Empowering and full of life, "On My Own" is set to resonate with audiences internationally and cross-culturally.
Valdés's deft blend of American, Afro-Latin, and Latin sounds is more than an experiment in crossover appeal as it's a cultural statement. "On My Own" is a rallying cry for women who have been underestimated and are dancing now in their power.
