SILK&SORROW

A 11 track neo-soul album (6m 15s) — released April 11th 2025 on Melting Pot Music

Let's be honest: life is a series of swipes left and right, love you's, and ghostings, all while trying to figure out why you're crying over a meme at 2 a.m. but Ray Lozano? She gets it. Her new album, SILK&SORROW is that perfectly timed text from a friend who knows when to send the "you good?" without expecting an answer.

Lozano explores the contradictions we face daily, creating a sonic embrace for anyone caught between connection and detachment, feeling everything and nothing all at once. The title says it all: "Silk" gives you warmth and comfort, while "Sorrow" hits you with an emotional gut punch you didn't see coming. It's a reminder that softness and pain aren't mutually exclusive - they're two sides of the same coin, constantly present in our daily lives, whether we're ready for them or not.

Each track feels like Lozano's looking over your shoulder, seeing your emotional history play out - like she's right there as your laugh turns into a sigh, and nostalgia for a moment you didn't realize was gone hits harder than you'd like. Her ability to transform the most ordinary, chaotic moments of life into something extraordinary is her superpower. SILK&SORROW isn't about fixing things. It's about feeling them, really feeling them, in all their messy glory.

In a time where vulnerability is often seen as a mere aesthetic choice on Spotify, Lozano goes deeper. SILK&SORROW isn't trying to be trendy or polished. It hits you where it hurts and where it heals, and it shows you that the chaos is where the magic happens. Consider this album your anthem for late-night introspection. SILK&SORROW is less of an album, and more of a survival guide for the beautifully chaotic mess we call life.

All tracks produced by Ray Lozano & Samon Kawamura.
