Inmersión (Immersion) is the sixth studio album by Chilean singer-songwriter, and record producer Javiera Mena.[1] It was released on April 23, 2025, under the record label, Géiser Discos.[2][3] The album consists of ten tracks, including the singles "Volver a Llorar",[4] "Entropía",[5] and "Mar de Coral" which features vocals from Argentine singer Santiago Motorizado, vocalist of the rock band El Mató a un Policía Motorizado.[6][7][8]

Background and promotion

In an interview with LOS40, Javiera Mena explained the meaning behind the record.[1] She also described it as "an album that radiates tranquility and luminosity", and "that invites the listener to connect with my music and what I do, in a deeper way."[1]

“Inmersión evokes the idea of immersing ourselfs in a deep emotional state, going through pain and, at the same time, having the courage to emerge to see life with a new perspective."[9]

— Javiera Mena, on the meaning of her new album to LOS40.

To promote the record three singles were released:[10]

The lead single "Volver a Llorar" was released on August 13, 2024, alongside its music video.[11][12][13]

"Entropía" served as the album second single, and was released on October 17, 2024.[14][15][16]

"Mar de Coral", a duet with Argentine singer and vocalist of El Mató a un Policía Motorizado, Santiago Motorizado, was released as the album third single on February 18, 2025.[17][18]

Days before the album release, Mena collaborated with Chilean beauty queen Cecilia Bolocco on her new campaign promoting her clothes collection, which features Mena's music.[19][20]

Reception

Inmersión was met with critical acclaim from music critics upon release.[21][22][23]

Marcelo Contreras of La Tercera, dubbed the record as "outstanding" and called it Mena's best body of work to date.[21] He stated that the record "follows the rules written since The Beatles, where every song contains a purpose."[21]

Daniela Aguayo from La Cuarta described Inmersión as Mena's most introspective album to date, praising the songstress for showing a more "sensitive and emotionally" side of her, while remaining "faithful to her poetic and creative identity".[22]

Writing for Jenesaispop, Sebas E. Alonso gave the album a 8.2 out of 10, saying that the album is the first in a long-time where the singer-songwriter sounds "concentrated on the record's composition" rather than "overwhelmed by delivering a new hit."[24] He went further praising Mena's production and the lyrical content.[25]
