Everything is Beautiful

Released simultaneously with its darker counterpart 'Everything Sucks', 'Everything is Beautiful' serves as the light-side exploration of Princess Nokia's dualistic 2020 project. While Nokia rose to prominence through the raw, industrial-tinged '1992 Deluxe', this album showcases her versatility as a songwriter capable of navigating high-fidelity pop and soul. Recorded with a focus on live instrumentation, the album features significant contributions from producers like Tony Seltzer and Chris Lare, who helped craft a sound rich in brass, woodwinds, and warm keys. Critically, the album was noted for its departure from the 'tomboy' aesthetic toward a more feminine, spiritual, and nurturing persona. It sits in her catalog as a pivotal moment of artistic maturation, bridging the gap between her DIY roots and a more expansive, genre-fluid future. The inclusion of tracks like 'Soul Food y Adobo' further cements her role as a voice for the Afro-Latina diaspora, blending cultural pride with accessible, melodic hip-hop.
