Miami, FL.
Argentine singer-songwriter Yami Safdie steps into a new chapter with the release of her third studio album, Querida Yo, a striking collection of songs that captures her at her most vulnerable, self-aware, and emotionally unfiltered.
Written as if she were speaking directly to herself, Querida Yo plays like a private journal opened for the world to hear. The album explores the emotional terrain that defines all of us: love that feels infinite, heartbreak that leaves you breathless, infidelity that reshapes your reality, friendships that anchor you, and time, the one force that keeps moving even when you can’t.
“These songs came from a place I didn’t expect to share,” Yami says. “They were letters I wrote to understand myself, and eventually I realized they were meant for anyone who has ever questioned their own heart.”
A SOUND THAT EVOLVES, A VOICE THAT SHARPENS
Querida Yo marks a clear evolution in Yami’s artistry. The production feels more focused, the vocals more exposed, and the writing more fearless. Across the album, she blends emotional pop with acoustic intimacy, organic instrumentation, and subtle touches of regional, folk, and urban influences, always letting the storytelling lead.
The project follows a career-defining moment: her first Latin GRAMMY® nomination for Best Pop Song, earned alongside Camilo for their breakout collaboration “Querida Yo.” It was a pivotal turning point, positioning Yami not just as a rising talent but as one of the most compelling young writers shaping Latin pop’s current voice.
Her recent collaboration with Manuel Turizo, the acclaimed single “Amor Prestado,” offered the first window into the emotional gravity and maturity of the album, a song rooted in imperfect love, longing, and the realities we rarely admit out loud.
COLLABORATIONS THAT DEEPEN THE STORY
The album brings together a powerful lineup of artists who don’t feel like features; they feel like part of the narrative:
• Camilo, revisiting their undeniable creative chemistry
• Manuel Turizo, adding warmth and emotional contrast
• Carin León, grounding the album with grit and regional soul
• Soledad, offering a timeless, folk-leaning depth
• Lasso, mirroring Yami’s confessional storytelling
• Emilia, bringing energy and a modern feminine perspective
Each guest adds a new dimension, helping the story unfold with greater honesty and tension.
AN ALBUM ABOUT MEETING YOURSELF WHERE YOU ARE
At its core, Querida Yo is about the relationship you build with yourself when everything else falls apart. It’s about seeing your flaws and still choosing compassion. It’s about naming the hurt so you can finally move through it.
The album moves in three emotional phases:
1. When Love Feels Limitless: Hopeful, warm, full of possibility.
2. When Everything Breaks: Where the cracks show. Where the truth hits. Where the questions become louder than the answers.
3. When You Rise Again: Quiet strength. Perspective. A new beginning written with clarity instead of fear. Yami doesn’t dramatize these emotions; she documents them. And that’s what makes the album feel honest, immediate, and resonant.
A DEFINING MOMENT FOR A RISING VOICE
With Querida Yo, Yami Safdie delivers her most complete artistic statement to date, an album that feels lived-in, intentional, emotionally sharp, and absolutely hers. It is the sound of an artist stepping fully into who she is, without hesitation and without hiding the parts that hurt.
It cements her place as one of the most important new storytellers in Latin pop, not for the noise she makes, but for the truth she tells.
