Sol Escobar’s latest single, “Mujer Unicornio,” released ahead of her forthcoming album De Padre: Soñadora, is built around a slow guajira rhythm combined with analog synthesisers and piano lines that draw from salsa and Latin jazz. The track marks a continuation of her effort to fuse traditional Latin American genres with elements of soul and retro pop, maintaining a clear focus on structure and atmosphere over overt vocal showmanship. 

The lyrics construct a symbolic narrative around a woman who, after enduring violence, undergoes a form of metamorphosis; framed not as victimhood but as transformation. The “unicorn” is used here less as a whimsical figure and more as a metaphor for psychological survival, difference, and imagined identity. The arrangement reflects that idea: sparse, deliberate, and marked by an undercurrent of tension. Escobar’s direction of the accompanying visual piece reinforces this reading, using choreographed gestures and surreal imagery without relying on a literal plot.

Escobar has shifted steadily away from commercial Latin pop since the mid-2010s, developing a more self-directed and multidisciplinary practice that combines songwriting, performance, and visual design. Her previous album, La Dama Oscura, took a similar hybrid approach, merging gothic narrative tones with cinematic arrangements. “Mujer Unicornio” instead extends her current trajectory, refining her stylistic language and deepening her engagement with themes of transformation and female subjectivity within a Latin American context.
