“Sometimes we have to let go of things, and there are just things beyond our control, and we just got to continue, walk in and through the ‘wilderness,’ but I’ve always found hope in God that even through the hard times, He is still doing something good. I recorded the acoustic guitar and vocal at home, and we did backing vocals with everyone in Nick’s studio. Nick also recorded the main instrumental track in his studio.” ~Barbie Almalbis

Barbie Almalbis continues
to confront her inner struggles by releasing another song that openly addresses
them in a musical way, following the release of her previous songs "Desperate
Hours" and "Homeostasis."
Her new song, "Happy Sad,"
reflects on her own mental health and the stigma behind it, while helping her
process her feelings through writing songs.
Nick Lazaro, who also assisted in arranging the instrumental parts, produced the emotionally vulnerable track. Eclectic Kiss artists such as Pikoy, Marika Laciste, Faye Yu, and Marj Rojas also contributed to the background vocals, adding subtle layers of intricacies to the mix.
"Happy Sad" will be part of her upcoming 2024 full-length album, which thematically brings her journey towards mental health, healing, and self-discovery into the conversation. She plans to release it sometime in November 2024.
Barbie Almalbis’ "Happy Sad" is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide.
The song serves as the third single off her upcoming fifth album, to be released at the end of the year.
