Silvana Estrada – Vendrán Suaves Lluvias
Today, Latin GRAMMY-winning artist Silvana Estrada announces Vendrán Suaves Lluvias, her long-awaited, self-produced second studio album, out October 17, 2025 via Glassnote Records.
Spanning years of personal and artistic transformation, the album is Estrada’s most expansive, luminous, and emotionally daring project yet: a bold leap forward from Marchita, her acclaimed debut, into a world shaped by healing, hope, and creative freedom.
“Vendrán Suaves Lluvias is the album I’ve been working on for the past two or three years,” Estrada shares. “The songs were born little by little, some since the pandemic, others more recently. It encompasses my search to find myself and my vital energy. This project was born from trying to turn discomfort into hope, from not stopping to see the light despite the rage.”
Silvana Estrada’s decision to self-produce Vendrán Suaves Lluvias emerged from a period of profound personal upheaval and introspection. After a whirlwind few years that included global acclaim and a relentless touring schedule, Estrada encountered a series of creative and emotional roadblocks: first through unfruitful recording sessions, then through a traumatic spinal injury, and finally through the devastating murder of her best friend. These events forced her to step back from her career and reassess not only her artistic direction but her way of existing in the world. As she slowly began to heal, she found herself yearning for “softness and sweetness and a safe space to reconnect with my intuition,” says Estrada. “When I found that space again, it became clear that I was the only person who could produce this album. The entire experience was like a rebirth, where I made it through so much loss and pain and then came out the other side with a new understanding of how to face reality with grace and hope.”
Written entirely by Estrada and recorded between Montréal, Barcelona, and Mexico City, Vendrán Suaves Lluvias draws its title from the 1918 Sara Teasdale poem “There Will Come Soft Rains,” a vision of peace and renewal after destruction. That same contrast between devastation and rebirth courses through the album. From heartbreak to joy, stillness to movement, Estrada charts the full landscape of the human experience with rare clarity and compassion.
“From the first song to the last,” she says, “I tried to create a journey that connects us with joy and movement. I wanted strength and hope to be the guiding thread throughout the album.”
Alongside today’s announcement, Estrada releases the powerful new single “Dime” [Tell Me],” a searing meditation on anger as a force for transformation.
Featuring orchestral arrangements by Oscar-nominated composer Owen Pallett (Frank Ocean, The National, Haim), “Dime” reveals the rich textures and emotional scope of the album, where folk intimacy and cinematic ambition coexist.
“Some of these songs are covered by madness,” Silvana says, “while others represent the absolute peace I found at the end of the process.”
The album’s sonic world is a collage of the sounds that have shaped her: the Venezuelan cuatro, harp, trumpet, pedal steel, and sweeping orchestral arrangements recorded in Skopje, North Macedonia. Additional arrangements were crafted by Roberto Verástegui, Estrada’s musical director and longtime collaborator.
“The freedom to choose the sounds I wanted initially terrified me, it seemed like an immense and impossible place to begin. But when I allowed myself to listen attentively to my instincts and embraced that freedom, a sincere and transparent world slowly began to form. This album is filled with learning, with love, and with the beauty of being human, even in our hardest moments.”
