In 2023, she’s planning a world tour beginning this summer season, together with a brand new album with Se Ve Desde Aquí collaborator I. La Católica and a file together with her experimental group Amor Muere, which incorporates vocalist Camille Mandoki, ambient producer Concepción Huerta, and violinist Gibrana Cervantes.
