“This wasn’t the album I intended to make,” Carla dal Forno says. “I originally wanted something veiled and abstract, but I realised I couldn’t hide behind abstraction — the songs only worked when I leaned into emotional truth.” She’s talking about Confession, which will be out April 24 via Kallista Records. This is her first album in four years.
“I live in a small country town that offers a stillness my life didn’t previously have,” Carla says, explaining the environment that birthed this record. “In that quiet, feelings I might’ve ignored in a busy city grew loud…In the end, Confession became the most personal, unguarded thing I’ve ever made. I wrote plainly about what I was actually living through.”
The first single from the album is “Going Out,” a lovely piece of ambient pop, powered by a strong bassline and held aloft with celestial synths. Watch the video below.
