Victòria Vilalta is stepping into 2026 with clarity, courage, and a record that feels exactly like its title suggests — ‘Out Loud Thoughts’.
The Catalonian singer-songwriter and producer has always leaned into emotion, but this new nine-track album feels like her most fully realised statement yet. Rooted in indie and folk, the project doesn’t just sit comfortably in one sonic corner. Instead, it stretches outward — sometimes whispering through stripped-back acoustic moments, other times swelling into hook-led pop textures that linger long after the song fades.
There’s something deeply intentional about this body of work. Created in London studios, self-written and self-produced, Out Loud Thoughts reflects Vilalta’s commitment to aligning sound with meaning. Each track carries a distinct emotional weight — whether it’s self-reflection, vulnerability, or values close to her heart — and you can feel that care in the way the arrangements unfold. For Vilalta, music isn’t decoration; it’s emotional language.
What makes the album particularly compelling is its sense of exploration. Developed as part of her Master’s in Creative Music Production, the record experiments with the space between organic instrumentation and more processed sonic layers. It’s a noticeable evolution from her earlier, more purely acoustic folk work. Here, she allows herself to test boundaries, blending natural tones with textured production choices that feel modern yet intimate.
Her voice remains the anchor throughout — soft, expressive, and quietly hopeful. It carries the poetry of her songwriting with grace, giving even the most introspective moments a sense of light.
Already building momentum since her 2022 debut single, Vilalta continues to refine a sound that is both raw and thoughtfully designed. With an upcoming tour across the UK and Europe, Out Loud Thoughts positions her not just as an emerging name, but as an artist confidently shaping her creative identity in real time.
This is indie-folk with depth. Honest, experimental, and emotionally fluent.
‘Out Loud Thoughts’ is a soul-baring indie-folk journey that feels both intimate and quietly expansive.
