SPELLLING 'Portrait of My Heart'

'Portrait of My Heart' reveals SPELLLING at her most vulnerable and electrified. On her fourth album, Chrystia Cabral strips away the allegory of past works to explore love, anxiety, and identity with bold emotional clarity. Trading ornate abstraction for pointed introspection, she builds songs that are visceral and direct—anchored by live instrumentation and a newfound rock-leaning energy.

Collaborations with artists like Chaz Bear (Toro y Moi), Pat McCrory (Turnstile), and Braxton Marcellous (Zulu) add dynamic textures to an album that still bears Cabral’s singular imprint. With support from a tight band and producers like Rob Bisel and Psymun, these tracks grow beyond solitary sketches into full, breathing compositions. 'Portrait of My Heart' doesn’t just expand SPELLLING’s sonic world—it invites listeners closer than ever before. Vulnerable, luminous, and unflinchingly human.
