Oli navigates between wounds and light with ANCORA, a sonic journey toward what keeps us grounded

Oli opens a new artistic and personal chapter with her new album ANCORA. The record is a sonic journey that speaks of what holds us up—of what anchors us to life when everything is moving too fast. It is, at once, an embrace and a form of resistance: a reminder that, despite exhaustion or uncertainty, we still have moments left to live, and that is, in essence, the most valuable thing of all.

Together with producers Xicu and Toni Taboo, the album moves with surprising ease between rap, flamenco, and dancehall, playing with the boundaries of genre and emotion to build a language of its own—authentic, unique, and full of strength. From the forcefulness of “Fam,” to the magnetic sensitivity of “Imán,” and the brightness of “Vibra,” Oli weaves a narrative that goes beyond individual experience to become a collective chronicle about feeling, resisting, and living.

ANCORA is also a synthesis of everything the artist has been cultivating throughout her career. From her time in the collective La Clika Pika, where she gave voice to dissidence and shared creation, to her collaborations with KeTeKalles, Pirat’s Sound Sistema, or Las Bajas Pasiones, Oli has been forging a sonic universe where commitment and vulnerability coexist with a disarming power. This new work, more introspective yet just as combative, solidifies her message as one of the most authentic and necessary within the Catalan feminist urban scene.

Following the album Clavada (Delirics, 2024), this new project represents a step forward in artistic and emotional maturity. In ANCORA, Oli sings from the scar and from the heartbeat, from doubt but also from celebration. It is a record that breathes, that beats, that invites us not to forget who we are or where we come from.

Oli reaffirms her voice as one of the most powerful and singular of her generation: a voice that does not seek to please, but to move. Because, as the title suggests, there are still—“àncora”, “anchors”—reasons to stay, to love, and to make noise.
