2016's Amor Supremo became a soundtrack to the feature-length documentary Carla Morrison: Love Supreme, that followed her travails and triumphs on an international tour of the U.S., Spain, and South America.īorn in Tecate, Baja, California, just south of San Diego, Morrison was raised on a musical diet of ranchera, Rocío Dúrcal, Patsy Cline, Juan Gabriel, and the Beach Boys. Her success as a singer and songwriter has made her a desired collaborator for a wide variety of Latin artists ranging from Los Angeles Azules and Juan Gabriel to Lila Downs, Enrique Bunbury, J Balvin, and Ricky Martin. No matter the musical frame Morrison employs, her work sometimes utilizes dramatic production, as evidenced amply by the Latin Grammy-winning electronic single "Vez Primera" in 2016. Her second full-length, 2012's Déjenme Llorar, was certified Gold in Mexico and took home two Latin Grammys for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Alternative Song for the title track. Fans are drawn to her lithe alto voice that always communicates deep emotions in settings ranging from acoustic constructions and elegantly constructed indie rock to atmospheric electronic pop. She sings almost exclusively in Spanish but is beloved on both sides of the border - and the Atlantic Ocean - for her poignant, tender, love songs. Mexican-born singer/songwriter and producer Carla Morrison is an anomaly in the regionalized world of indie pop.
