Jimena Amarillo

About

Jimena Amarillo is the kind of artist who makes you feel like you’ve stumbled upon a secret diary—raw, intimate, and unflinchingly honest. With a voice that oscillates between fragile whispers and soaring clarity, she crafts indie-pop ballads that feel like a warm embrace on a cold night. Drawing from influences like Sufjan Stevens, Mitski, and the poetic melancholy of Spanish folk, her music is a delicate tapestry of acoustic guitars, lush synths, and lyrics that cut straight to the heart. Born and raised in Madrid, Jimena began her career uploading lo-fi covers to YouTube, but it was her 2020 debut EP, *Mientras No Cueste Amor*, that marked her arrival as a serious artist. Tracks like "La Tela" and "Domingo" showcased her ability to turn personal pain into universal anthems, earning her a devoted following across Europe and Latin America. Her breakthrough came with the viral success of "Domingo," a hauntingly beautiful track that resonated with listeners navigating isolation during the pandemic. Jimena’s cultural impact lies in her ability to bridge languages and emotions, seamlessly blending Spanish and English lyrics to create a sound that feels both local and global. Collaborations with artists like C. Tangana and her inclusion in Spotify’s RADAR program have further cemented her status as a rising star. Currently, she’s working on her debut album, teasing fans with snippets of new material that promise to delve deeper into her introspective world.
