Award-winning recording artist Blanca announces her new album fittingly titled, The Heartbreak And The Healing, slated for a September 23 release.
Written in the wake of a painful divorce from Ben Callahan of Group 1 Crew after two years of separation, the songstress vulnerably cracks her heart wide open on the 14-track collection that showcases the merger of her powerful voice and her transparent lyricism.

“I walked through a divorce in 2019 that left me feeling broken and insecure about my own self-worth,” she told Klove.com. “It’s from that rock bottom that I was able to experience God’s goodness in such a real way.”
Her third studio project, The Heartbreak And The Healing offers two sides of the same story — the hurt and the redemption.
“Over the last few years, I’ve faced some very challenging situations, from walking through both of my parents passing away to then a very hard divorce,” explained Blanca who shares one son, London, with her ex.
She and Ben met through a mutual friend and “It was love at first sight,” she said in a previous interview with Risen Magazine. But now, she is embarking on a new chapter and stepping back into her music ministry.
Listeners can expect a diverse fusion of pop, Latin, hip-hop and Gospel, as the full-length effort follows Blanca on a journey of self-discovery, as she rises from the ashes stronger and more empowered than ever before.
The fresh set features chart-topping hit “Even At My Worst” and current radio single “The Healing (feat. Dante Bowe),” which the pair recently performed at the 2022 K-LOVE Fan Awards, where Blanca was nominated for Female Artist of the Year.
Blanca continues to give listeners a glimpse into The Heartbreak And The Healing with the advance drop of “New Day.” A blend of pulsating hip-hop beats and a soulful groove, the pulls-no-punches selection welcomes five-time GRAMMY nominee Jekalyn Carr on the second verse. Together, the two vocalists make a bold statement: They’re not settling, and good things are coming their way.
Unbreakable, Blanca steps into new mercies as she charts a course all her own with a good deal of grit and determination on the confident new track, which she co-wrote with Anton Göransson, Isabella Sjöstrand, Taylor Hill and Carr.
