With the release of her debut album today, she introduces the world to the first chapter of her greater story with a timeless, immortal and personal offering, CHAPTER I.

For Carla, the main driving force behind CHAPTER I was taking all steps necessary to create a niche sound for herself to establish her career without compromising her originality as a songwriter.

“CHAPTER I, along with the perfect pairing with Hendrik Joerges, was the project I wanted to set the real tone with of where I am willing to go with my songs musically, without losing the roots emotionally and lyrically. CHAPTER I is a project that combines a few facets of my experiences while giving different tones to each of them. CHAPTER I is the new chapter of a new book but remains an extension of the previous stories.” says Carla.

“My hope is that CHAPTER I screams "CARLA FRANCO!" as I’ve always been (especially as a songwriter), but that it also sets the tone for where I am willing, and very much wanting, to go. It’s a little bit of me, unashamedly, in a couple of songs that took literal blood, sweat and tears to create in full. My hope is that folks can enjoy and also, relate. That it makes them feel. That is the ultimate success, for me as an artist, to make people truly FEEL something.”
