Danna Paola Is Putting Her ‘Childstar’ Past to Rest With Her Most Honest LP Yet
Danna Paola is launching a new era of her decades-long stardom with her new 'Childstar' album, a house music-heavy journey through self-discovery.
On “Childstar,” the Mexican singer and actor’s new LP, Danna — who recently announced she’s dropping her last name — is reclaiming the narrative of her youth when she first earned her stripes as a child star in telenovelas that constantly played on television both stateside and across Latin America. She subsequently announced her intentions to step away from acting, and that same year, she released “Sie7e+,” which birthed her biggest single yet, 2020’s “Mala Fama.” The latter has been streamed over 340 million times on Spotify, helping define her as a pop star to watch. “Childstar” has Danna singing in English and Spanish, since she “speaks and thinks in Spanglish,” but that overarching duality of pop culture is also represented in the music influences; For example, track two, “Blackout,” is a tribute to Britney Spears’ 2007 album of the same name.
