Sevdaliza – HEROINA
Visionary multidisciplinary artist Sevdaliza releases her third studio album HEROINA, a bold and transcendent ode to womanhood in all its forms.
The album features global breakout “Alibi” featuring Yseult and Pablo Vittar, marking Sevdaliza’s debut on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard 200 Global, where it reached #15 and brought Sevdaliza into mainstream recognition, alongside the empowering “No Me Cansare” featuring Karol G, the emotionally charged ode to her mom “Strong Because You Are,” the sultry and sensual “Stripper” featuring Kenia Os, and the bilingual breakthrough smash “Ride or Die Pt. 2” featuring Tokischa and Villano Antillano, which saw Sevdaliza enter the Billboard 200 Global for her first time.
HEROINA completes the storyline of Sevdaliza’s most intimate and empowering body of work to date; a testament to feminine strength, weaving stories of resilience, sensuality, and solidarity into a powerful sonic and visual universe.
Each collaboration, composition, and visual element within HEROINA was crafted with intention, forming a collective voice of women and queer creators who reflect strength and sensuality on their own terms. The record features a groundbreaking lineup of artists, Karol G, Kenia Os, Pabllo Vittar, Tokischa, Villano Antillano, Yseult, and Eartheater, each embodying a unique facet of womanhood and defiance. Together, they challenge traditional narratives and celebrate the boundless force of feminine energy in all its forms — from tenderness to rebellion, mystique to power.
“After Shabrang in 2020, I felt a deep need for change, a desire to do things differently without knowing where it would lead. I let go,” shares Sevdaliza. “I started creating around the world with people carrying different energies, different frequencies. Out of that process, a few songs found their way onto Heroina. They carry the same thread that’s always been with me, humanity, the resistance of the body and mind, the way women and queer people are still shaped by control and the male gaze. But this time, it’s a different kind of protest. Heroina is about wanting to be free, and at the same time feeling how limited that freedom can be. That tension between surrender and resistance became the core of this album.”
One of the album’s leading tracks, “Alibi,” earned Sevdaliza her first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, while “Ride or Die Pt. 2” marked her debut on the Billboard Global 200, underscoring her growing global resonance. Constantly using her body as an artistic canvas, Sevdaliza transforms it into a weapon against repression, confronting society’s fears of scars, aging, and asymmetry while reclaiming the beauty in imperfection.
