AREIA av is a Chilean electro-pop trio formed by Paloma Toral, Carlos Cabezas, and Camilo Bustos. They started working together around 2015, experimenting with electronic beats and melodic vocals. Paloma Toral handles vocals and keyboards, with her voice often described as haunting, while Carlos Cabezas contributes to the band's sound in ways that complement her approach.
Their music tends toward dreamy synths and introspective lyrics, touching on themes like love and identity. Songs like 'Bye Bye' and 'O Lado Mais Bonito da Cidade' reflect this style, blending electronic textures with emotional weight. They released an EP called 'Reina Flora' in 2017, followed by albums 'Paloma' in 2019 and 'Luz' in 2021, which showed some development in their sound over those years.
While their work has found listeners, it has also drawn mixed reactions, some appreciate the ethereal quality, while others have questioned aspects of their lyrical depth. The band has faced challenges, including vocal cord issues for Paloma Toral that affected their early progress. Despite this, they've continued to produce music that stays within their established electro-pop framework, with tracks like 'Te Entrego' and 'A qualquer hora' maintaining their characteristic blend of synth atmospheres and personal reflection.
