Brazilian born cellist and vocalist Dom La Nena will release her debut album, Ela, on January 15. Ela is a stunningly intricate and understated collection of thirteen original compositions, sung in Portuguese and Spanish. Dom’s delicate vocals and multi-tracked cello on the album are supported by spare, minimal arrangements by co-producer and label mate Piers Faccini, with textures that fall somewhere between classic Everything But The Girl and The XX. The first single from Ela, “No Meu Pais,” describes the experience of growing up rootless in several different countries. Without a specific nationality, ‘meu pais (my country) simply becomes ‘myself.’
