Barbie Almalbis continues to confront her inner
struggles by releasing another song that openly addresses them in a musical
way, following the release of her previous songs "Desperate Hours"
and "Homeostasis."
Her new song, "Happy Sad,"
reflects on her own mental health and the stigma behind it, while helping her process
her feelings through writing songs.
The alt-pop figure explains, “Sometimes we have to let go of
things, and there are just things beyond our control, and we just got to
continue, walk in and through the ‘wilderness,’ but I’ve always found hope in
God that even through the hard times, He is still doing something good.”
Nick Lazaro, who also assisted in arranging the
instrumental parts, produced the emotionally vulnerable track. Eclectic Kiss
artists such as Pikoy, Marika Laciste, Faye Yu, and Marj Rojas also contributed
to the background vocals, adding subtle layers of intricacies to the mix.
“I recorded the acoustic guitar and vocal at home, and we
did backing vocals with everyone in Nick’s studio,” says Barbie Almalbis. “Nick
also recorded the main instrumental track in his studio.”
"Happy Sad" will be part of her upcoming 2024
full-length album, which thematically brings her journey towards mental health,
healing, and self-discovery into the conversation. She plans to release it
sometime in November 2024.
Barbie Almalbis’ “Happy Sad”
is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide.
